Awwwwwwwww. :(

That's depressing...I was getting into this song.

It seems both these links, that have been reflecting HAC songs for so long are now reflecting Top 40.

Anyone know why or a better link to this particular chart?

There's something wrong with Mediabase's system. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

[ariesrising]

Thanks.

[Hot AC Archiver]

I noticed the same thing. I hope they get it fixed. The chart appears ok on AllAccess.

[crazychick]

Anyone have an update for this last official chart and about what songs are eligible to go recurrent on the next chart? Thanks

[Hot AC Archiver]

^^I hope to update tomorrow.

[Rumors]

So the mediabase HotAC chart has been out of commission for awhile (no longer at that link)? I keep getting the pop chart. Shoot.

Is there a direct link for allaccess?

Yes, that too. I somehow skipped that one. it happens when you get to my age. ;)

Ok, call me slow, but I'm a little confused whether Lullabye will go recurrent this coming weekend -- or the one after that.

By my estimation, the song will not be on the 6/17/12 chart. It should be recurrent then.

[crazychick]

Ok thanks

Underneath the black bar menu at the top of the page, there should be a line that says:

Why isn't "Rumour Has It" eligible to go recurrent this week? It has fallen out of the Top 10 now.

"Rumour" was only in its 17th week on the chart on 6/17. The rule is 20 weeks for either the #10 or the #15 rule.

[crazychick]

Oh ok. Thanks
