I agree that the 8/18-8/19 AT20 show will be rockin! Can't wait for it, but this weekend's show will probably be a bore.

"Debuts: After over 3 years off the chart, "Calling You" by Blue October re-enters at #40. This week makes for 6 weeks total on the chart. The song originally peaked at #34 in 2004."

Is that a record?


"After jumping 4 to make the top 20 last week, Emerson Hart falls back 4 to #19."

Didn't you mean #23? :)

Thanks for catching the typo. It's been fixed. :)

I believe Blue October does set the record for the longest time between re-entries for a song. The previous holder was Bruce Springsteen, whose "Secret Garden" took about 2 years to re-enter.

Why did "Face Down" go to recurrent-land? It was like +55 or something on Saturday!

[KelownaGuy20]

Wow... good on Fergie! I can't even remember the last time a woman had the #1 song on this chart. When was it? "Behind These Hazel Eyes"?

It was just about 1 year ago when KT Tunstall had #1 with "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree"

[Kid Pulse]

If a female is gonna go #1 on Hot AC, I'd prefer it to be Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson.
