Thanks for posting this, man. Do you think it's gonna be boring on Hot AC for a while because of no songs going recurrent?

[Hot AC Archiver]

There will be some movement in the top 20, as Gwen and Emerson Hart have fallen out. However, I don't see anything too exciting in the near future.

Timbaland is close to having 2 top 40 hits as "Apologize" is currently at #42. (His "Give It to Me" is at #56 as well. ) Having an act debut with 2 different songs so close together would be a relative rarity on a format as slow as HAC.
