1/9/04 Alternative Chart

[Mega248]

Lots of big jumps/drops since the moves will actually represent three weeks of airplay.

The biggest news is Incubus will likely debut at #7. Impressive, though it looked like for a while it would debut even higher.

Linkin Park continues to hold on to #1, with a 400+ lead over the #2 song.

It took a bit longer than the other three, but Audioslave's 4th single will make the top 10 this week.

Hoobastank looks done. #9 isn't too bad, but I was hoping for top 5 after the success of "Crawling In The Dark" and "Running Away".

Just like the first two, "Closure" is slowly but surely approaching the top 10.

Moving to recurrent this week are "Here Without You" and "Someday".

Ouch, STP will probably fall 28-47.

Top 50 debuts: Fuel, Courtney Love and, of course, Incubus. There could be a couple more depending on what happens in the next 24 hours.

Is anyone other than myself wondering why the 01/09 r&r chart won't be including the airplay for the week ending 12/21 instead of the week ending 01/04? I mean, the 12/21 week shouldn't have any holiday music effect, but the 01/04 week sure does! Heck, go look at the current mediabase update for the pop chart!

Suprisingly high debut for Yellowcard.. :o
I hope it does something, it's pretty good and better than "Way Away".

From what I've heard from people and magazines, it looks like Puddle Of Mudd doesn't have much of a future on Alternative. Their new album has been called boring and hookless, much like their last. Of course, I won't investigate that myself but if that is true it will be the best news I've heard all week. "Away From Me" was a very lame lead single too.

I wish "Beyond The Gray Sky" hit the top ten.

Glad to see Courtney debut. Next week Korn should place top 50 with "Y'all Want A Single". I am hoping that Orgy will be impacting the charts soon too
