Oh boy…
Rick Dees' year-end chart is up. Just like last year, instead of producing separate charts for the Pop and Hot A/C shows, they used a single hybrid chart for both. Yes, it looks like it combines both formats, but it completely fails at being a, reasonable, amalgamation. I've shown the Mediabase year-end rankings for both formats below for comparison. Going by the numbers, alone, I'd've thought that "Somebody That I Used To Know" would've been #1 on the combined chart.

Add to that the complete neglection of Train's "Drive By" (#3 on the year-end AT40 Hot AC chart), and you definitely have a "train wreck" of a chart (pun intended)!
