Looks like the #2 curse may end......in this morning's update.......3DD is back at the top. (by 15 spins) Why does Beyonce always slow down for the weekends?

3DD is back at the top. (by 15 spins) Why does Beyonce always slow down for the weekends? Beyonce's spin gain has moved up a bit since yesterday, so I don't think she slows down over the weekend. More like on Thursdays and Fridays. Maybe if she keeps going to #1 on Tuesdays she might beat the record for "Most Number Of Times Hitting #1 On Weekdays Without Actually Getting #1 On The Final Update". |

What other songs would be on that list? Possibly "Foolish" or "All My Life"? Did Savage Garden ever regain the #1 spot midweek sometime during "My Heart Will Go On"'s run at the top (they did eventually get back to #1)? This whole thing has got me thinking. A song could be #1 almost the whole week, and suddenly drop to #2 on the final Sunday update, therefore never making #1! I realize Rick Dees often uses mid-week Mediabase charts for his show (he's not done that lately though). Perhaps this could explain why certain songs that were not #1 on R&R reached #1 on his chart (like Cher's "Believe" or Santana's "Maria, Maria") and songs that did reach the top on R&R only peaked at #2 on Rick Dees (like Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" and Third Eye Blind's "Jumper".) Just a thought; sorry to go off-topic. |

You're right, radiorules; CHUD did peak at #2 sometime midweek, but lost a few spins before the final update. "Can't Hold Us Down" had a small move, the real reason it fell to 4 were the big bullets of the current Top 2. |

Yeah, "Bring Me to Life" has gotten screwed by this on two different charts. It was denied #1 altogether on Alternative by "Somewhere I Belong" despite being #1 from Tuesday to Saturday in some week, and was #1 for most of the week after its only week at #1 at Pop. |

This is great news. 3 Doors Down have their second consecutive #1 on the pop charts. How often does that happen these days for a rock band? I'm REALLY glad it's 3DD's turn to shine on Pop. Someone besides some bimbo-ish nonsense other teen pop. This IS the year for ROCK! I guess we'll see if MB20 hits #1 again with Bright Lights, seeing the song is @ #6 on the Hot AC chart. It's not at all, "far fetched"  I really hope both of these bands go away from awards this year, with MANY in there hands. Both are very deserving of EVERY award they may/will earn! |

I REALLY hope Beyonce can hit #1. She deserves it more than 3 Doors Down.
What happened to the pop-leaning rhythmic music? Everything's either AC/rock or yelling and screaming like "Get Low" these days.

I wouldn't mind another week for 3 Doors Down at the top... Beyonce's gains and audience impressions are higher, so there's always next week for "Baby Boy".

Yeah, but it's only 15 songs out of 50...that's not very much...
And I don't consider Christina Aguilera rhythmic, so it's really 14/50.

Yeah, but it's only 15 songs out of 50...that's not very much... That's a third of the chart, and it's all you can really ask for. Anything over one-third (of rhythmic, rock, or pop) is a pleasant surprise (or disappointment, depending on which genre you favor). And I don't consider Christina Aguilera rhythmic, so it's really 14/50. It hit #20 on Rhythmic midweek, so I'd consider that enough evidence. And I kept Lil' Jon out because you singled it out as being "screaming", but I think it belongs on the list, so it's 16/50. I think there's a pretty good balance of rock and rhythmic leaning stuff on the chart right now. |

That's a LOT more pop-friendly than "Get Low." I'd guess "Stand Up" is not pop-friendly, although I haven't heard it, but "Act A Fool" was EXTREMELY pop-UNfriendly. IMO a good balance would be 25 rhythmic, 15 pop/dance, 10 rock, 0 country. I don't think anything with a country sound should be NEAR the Top 40, although there were 2 such songs in the Top 10 this year ("Picture" and "Drift Away"). The only rock should be mainstream stuff like "Here Without You", "Stacy's Mom", "Why Don't You And I" and NOT hardcore stuff like "Headstrong" and "Someday." |

Since we're talking about the CHR/ Pop format, the ideal balance would lean toward pop/dance, with rhythmic and hot AC/rock making up the remainder. You want music weighted toward rhythmic, that's why there's a CHR/Rhythmic format. |

"Hey Ya" hit the Alternative chart and not the Rhythmic chart (although that's probably due to it not being the primary release to that format), so I felt I couldn't classify it in either category. And my list wasn't supposed to be "pop-friendly rhythmic songs", although I know that's what you were talking about at first. IMO a good balance would be 25 rhythmic, 15 pop/dance, 10 rock, 0 country. I don't think anything with a country sound should be NEAR the Top 40, although there were 2 such songs in the Top 10 this year ("Picture" and "Drift Away"). Well, that's your opinion, and it's obviously a subjective one. My statement about being a good balance was objective -- I'd rather see the pop chart more Hot AC- and Alternative-leaning, but that's just me. The only rock should be mainstream stuff like "Here Without You", "Stacy's Mom", "Why Don't You And I" and NOT hardcore stuff like "Headstrong" and "Someday." "Someday" hardcore?? LOL... maybe for the AC chart! |

The problem with the rhythmic chart is that it's TOO far toward rhythmic...there should be a "pop/rhythmic" chart that's in between the two. |

There should also be a "pop/alternative" chart, an "ac/country" chart, a "Christian/jazz" chart, a "Latin/metal" chart, and an "aaa/urban" chart too. That way everyone's satisfied. Come on... it's unrealistic to have two charts that are pretty close to what you like and being satisfied with neither. |

"Headstrong" is above both "Get Low" and "P.I.M.P." on the Pop chart.

There is always so much competition whenever Destiny's Child or now Beyonce release a single. "Crazy In Love" was neck in neck with "Where Is The Love", "Baby Boy" is Neck in Neck with "Here Without You", "Survivor" was blocked out of #1 by "All For You" and "Say My Name" by "Bye, Bye, Bye".

You win the dumb post of the week award for this statement! Actually, that's not a dumb statement at all. Up until about 2 years ago, the Rhythmic chart was exactly what Eyeball described. |
