Still hanging in there at #26. It's got legs! That's only cause it didn't peak high enough to go recurrent though Mediabase's recurrent rules don't make any sense to me (they reward songs for peaking lower) The song was only in its 17th week on the 11/28 chart. Any song would not have gone recurrent in only 17 weeks. 20 weeks is the earliest a song can go recurrent.

The only reason it is hanging on is because it didn't go recurrent? Didn't The Truth sink like a stone after it peaked? If I am reading correctly, IIHY it only dropped 23 spins last week. Maybe IIHY simply has got legs? It seems to have sales legs too. The song continues to sell inline with September on far less airplay.

All he's saying is that you still see the song on the chart because it didn't go recurrent (and therefore disappear from chart listings). Its losing spins at a rate that is somewhat normal, but we can see it because it was never purged.

Its losing spins at a rate that is somewhat normal, but we can see it because it was never purged. I know what he is saying, all I am saying is that i completely disagree with him that the only reason it is hanging round is because it didn't go recurrent. If I Had You has one of the smallest negative bullets on the chart, some weeks after it officially peaked. I only follow the ai cotestants, but I have also seen how quickly a non recurrent song can fall when it doesn't have legs. Another song that was underplayed IMO, but meh, given up caring about radio play some time ago. Adam has got this.

Jools - I wasn't trying to knock Adam or his song - I was just saying that If I Had You is still visible on the chart, while songs like Use Somebody, I Gotta Feeling, If It's Love, etc. aren't visible, so IMO it kind of undermines the meaning of the chart

:) I didn't think you were neither. I do have to admit I'm confused as hell, the song got an add this week so is this song dead or alive?

It has a positive bullet and is up a couple of spots this week. Can't get much clearer signs of life than that. Not saying it is suddenly going to race to the top 5, but it does seem to have a nice long tail.
