Either that or some stations playing this song have their format miscategorized as Hot AC when they should be CHR or Rhythmic. It's much similar to a discussion that's taking place on the forum for AC - some stations on AC format are playing "Just Dance" (although during selected dayparts).

This song's just blowing up everywhere. It jumped from #22 last week to #10 this week on CHR. And now it's suddenly a Top 40 single on Hot AC.

Yeah Top 50 HAC could just be from misplaced CHRs (think there are about 10 right now)...IMO Top 20 means it's actually gettin high callout from adults

Just checked though and it' up to #38, with a bullet over +100

All I can say is that she has a lot of momentum going for her at this format, and she probably will get another top 20 hit out of this. But I am a bit surprised of the bullet with that raunchy lyric being repeated over and over in the song.

My guess is that if it falls short of the top 20 on Hot AC, it will be because of a lot of stations passing up this song because of the lyrics. At best this may skim the top 20 only because a lot of stations will at least add it due to her track record with her first two hits. But it would not shock me to see this make a run toward the top 10, but it will be difficult for her with this one.

Just heard the song on B101.5 WBQB. They seem to be leaning in a similar direction to WMMX (Mix 106.5 b'more) either that or HOtAC is evolving. I know they also dropped AT-20 w/ Kasem. Whats confusing is there is allready is a CHR in Fredricksburg, albiet Rhythmic.

Yeah this is getting huge on CHR so IMO it could easily crack Top 10 HAC...the disco stick thing might stop some stations from adding it (or make them daypart it), but I think the size of the hit (and fact that she's now got HAC creds on most stations) is gonna overrule that

Not sure where U + Ur Hand peaked on HAC, but thinkin it's gonna be a similar run IMO

Top 30 in Hot AC!
