DROPPERS:

Selena Gomez - The Heart Wants What It Wants (from #31, 15 weeks on)

- Paul McCartney update: Sir Paul has now achieved his highest chart position in more than 30 years (since "No More Lonely Nights" peaked at #4 in 1984).
- Speaking of "FourFiveSeconds": This is the third straight week it was featured as the Two-For-One (and the second straight week featuring Rihanna)
- Ellie Goulding came so close to cracking the Top 10 with not one but both of her songs.
- Amazingly the Top Four songs hold for a second straight week (You'd think "Style" would've moved up to #2 at least).

It looks like a good show coming up this week. However, not much movement at all. The biggest mover is only up five spots, where the biggest droppers are tied at dropping only four spots apiece. Eh, hopefully next week will have more movement.

Ed might get a third week at #1, but Taylor will get there either next week, or in two weeks.

Nice to see Ed get two weeks, here. I was expecting that since he hit #1 "early" on this chart. Overall, this week is a bit on the slow side for chart movement. I suspect Taylor will be #1 next week.

My biggest question about this chart is what in the world is "Heroes" still doing in the top 30? Realistically, it should have disappeared a couple weeks ago. Even with the difference in reporting panels between AT40 and Mediabase, I think you'd still be hard pressed to bend the math in it's favor.

Also, "Night Changes" seems to have lost a few weeks at some point. This is it's 14th week on, not it's 8th.

On the whole, this seems to be closer to the March 1 Mediabase chart rather than the March 8 chart - I get a sense that this week's countdown chart is from just three or four days after last week's countdown chart (sigh ). The telltale signs: "Heroes", and nothing moving more than five in any direction (other than Selena falling off from 31).
