Can anyone find out why "Suddenly I See" was left on the chart an extra day despite falling to #16, and then taken out this morning after the weekly chart was already published? Very curious move indeed, right up there with the readdition of "Put Your Records On".

Oldest Song: "Chasing Cars" with 44 weeks on.

To leave a song on "accidentally" is terrible! First, the wrong song was removed, and second, leaving "Suddenly I See" on an extra week was wrong since the four songs behind it could not move up. Who over at Mediabase is proofreading these charts before they are released?

What about this week's chart?

P.S. AT40fantoo check your pms.

Go Rob. Let's see if LW can hit the top 3.

Ditto. I really hope he does again. I think this song deserves to be #1, it's a shame that pop songs might ruin its chances (with the exception of Maroon 5 who is good for the format).
