@#38: "Everything Is Easy" - Third Eye Blind. It's Third Eye Blind's 7th charted song, and their first in 12 years.

What's the biggest gap between chart appearances? Did Sir Paul set that mark earlier this year with "FourFiveSeconds"?

You got it! Paul's 17 year plus gap is the biggest gap in HAC history.

SO glad to see that Rachel made it to #1 and to score her first #1 on HOT AC. I've been rooting for her ever since she debuted on the chart. Hopefully a second single can be released soon enough.
