"The Weekly Top 40" was started as an alternative to the popular radio show "American Top 40 With Casey Kasem". Unlike Casey's show, Rick Dees would host the "Weekly Top 40" and fill it not only with the biggest hits but also Dees Sleeze and 80's comedy.

            Prior to the "Weekly Top 40", Rick Dees was already very successful in the world of music. While working for WMPS-AM in Memphis, TN, he wrote and recorded "Disco Duck" which gave him instant international success.

            Rick Dees has also worked at KHJ and KIIS-FM in California, and the "Weekly Top 40" has been heard internationally on hundreds of radio stations. The countdown show still produces new episodes every week on broadcast radio today.
