EnglishWhat Is Rick.com?
Updated
Rick.com is the online home of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, a long-running countdown radio program. The site streams several themed editions of the show and hosts a weekly listener challenge. It is aimed at people who want to listen to the countdown on a phone or tablet rather than through a traditional radio station.
What the site offers
The homepage presents the show as a set of separate streaming channels, each with its own edition and date. From the page evidence, these include:
| Edition | Date shown |
|---|---|
| Hit Radio Edition | 9/19/26 |
| Hot Adult Edition | 9/19/26 |
| Dees2K Edition | 9/20/03 |
| 90s Edition | 9/17/94 |
| 80s Edition | 9/21/85 |
The dates suggest each channel carries a specific era or format of the countdown — a current hit-radio version, a hot adult contemporary version, and throwback editions built around 2000s, 1990s, and 1980s music.
How to listen
The site states the channels are "now streaming on all RICK DEES WEEKLY TOP 40 CHANNELS on your iOS or Android device," with a "Download NOW - it's FREE!" prompt. In practice, that means the intended path is:
- Open rick.com on an iOS or Android device.
- Choose the edition you want (Hit Radio, Hot Adult, Dees2K, 90s, or 80s).
- Use the download/stream prompt to start listening.
The page describes the download as free. It does not list subscription tiers, account requirements, or regional restrictions, so those details aren't confirmed by the available material.
The interactive element
Beyond streaming, the site runs a recurring quiz called the Countdown Challenge. The visible example is a "Test Your Auctioneer Knowledge" challenge, and the page also shows a "Last week's Question" about Taylor Swift's dog, with the answer given as Wendy. This tells you the site mixes music streaming with light weekly trivia tied to pop-culture and countdown topics.
Who it's for
Rick.com suits listeners who want on-demand access to the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 countdown across multiple formats and decades, especially on mobile. If you're looking for a general music streaming service with a broad catalog, this is narrower — it's built around one show and its editions. If you specifically want the countdown in a current, adult, or retro flavor, the channel list is the main reason to visit.
