I was waiting the whole decade in hopes AT20 would do a Hot AC countdown of the 2000s, similar to what they did for the '90s (or attempted to do). Now that AT20 is gone I can scratch that idea. Does anybody know whether Rick Dees or anybody else would most likely do something similar to that? Hot AC Guru's all-time charts are good, but I'm wondering whether anybody will do a spin-based countdown.
While we're at it, do you think that if AT20 would have done a spin-based countdown, some of the songs would have inflated play counts? I remember earlier on in the decade there were way more songs getting 4000+ plays, probably because of larger panels and such.
Any thoughts?

When AT40 did a countdown of the songs of the 1990s I don't remember it being spin-based.

I had wondered that myself. I had emailed the staff of AT20 earlier this year asking about that and they said they had plans to do both a Top 30 decade special for AT20 AND a Top 60 of the year. Too bad this will never happen. :(

If AT20 continued I'm pretty sure that the Top 60 of the year would air on the 12/19 and 12/26 weekends with the Top 30 of the decade on the 1/2/10 weekend. However, I plan to do a Top 30 of the decade for the Mediabase Hot AC chart so look out for it here at the end of the year.

Do you have a subscription with Mediabase or something? Or are you keeping track of spins yourself? |
