SOS and Temperature have had a very similar chart run on AT40.  SOS was on for 35 weeks, and Temperature is now enjoying its 35th.  They were consecutive songs for 19 total weeks(56%) including last week, and only two spots apart for another 5 weeks.  So they were no more than 2 spaces apart for 71% of their joint run of 34 weeks!

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if SOS was #41, Unfaithful prolly 43 even though it was younger it didn't have the longevity of SOS. But if you wanna talk about close ass rival songs you should have seen the 2 that recently fell of 'Unwritten and Walk Away' They were space to space like everyweek after they feel from top 20. Natasha had the advantage peaking at #2 vs Kelly's #5 but then caught up to it around mid teens, Kelly got the advantage around mid 20's then they stayed neck and neck all the way till BOTH of em fell off at the same time even though Mediabase showed Unwritten with the advantage at the end.

Speaking of the AT40 minor varience from Mediabase I knew Far Away unfortunately wouldn't defeat Sexyback on AT40 since it was way too close, oh well we know Far Away will be #1 next week. 



WORRRD, and don't come back this year 

Very awesome optional extras this week, what's better than Linkin Park and Kelly Clarkson, common now  And wow These Words by Natasha is the jam! That shoulda gone top 5, never heard it before now. Here's to Sexyback being dethroned next week and Far Away being #1 (RIGHT RYAN??? Dont be lame dude! lol)

P.S. SHAKIRA SHAKIRA HDL 4 life mwahaha

On the corresponding R&R chart, which I believe would be October 20 (though I don't know; "How To Save A Life" is way behind), every single song from #34 up is on the chart this week. That means that there are six recurrents on this week's chart, a welcome departure from the usual ten or so. Four of those are nearing the brink of the chart and I sure hope they drop off pretty soon. "Move Along" probably has at least another month left in it and as for "Me & U" by Cassie, it's too high up to be able to tell how long it spends on the chart, but I imagine it probably won't be too long.

Aside from the first week when a bunch of old recurrents came back on, not to my knowledge. There seems to be an unspoken rule that once a recurrent finally falls off AT40, it won't be allowed to re-enter (no matter how long it hovers around #40).

I believe sometime during the first month that Ryan hosted, an old song that had been off for a week came back on (this was not during the first week he hosted, when he switched to his recurrentless chart). But this happened onlhy once, so I guess they decided that once an old song (more than 20 weeks) fell off the chart, that would be it - no re-entry allowed.
