In case anyone is wondering if there's been a time where 2 songs with the same title were charting at the same time: yes. Back in late 2003-early 2004, "Breathe" by Michelle Branch and "Breathe" by Melissa Etheridge charted at the same time.

It hasn't been updated so I want to know. Has any song beat the spin record set by Blurred Lines?

[Hot AC Archiver]

Due in part to panel changes (and I'm not sure of the current # of stations on the published panel), the record max spins on HAC is 7305 spins by "Sugar" on the 12 April chart.

What is the highest debut on Hot AC? Thinking Taylor didn't get that or else you would've mentioned it, but it gets me to wondering who does have it.

Taylor debuted at #10 last year with "Shake It Off".
