So either the interest in posting predictions is starting to dry up, or people are just way too busy lately. Or people are not wanting to have to go back and modify their picks later. Is this the first time that the Highlights have been posted before there's been a single prediction posted?

[rowdawg21]

I think more people have been waiting to see Monday's Mediabase update before they make their predictions. There used to be 2-3 people who would always post predictions on Sunday, but those people are waiting an extra day now.

I have been quite busy to post predictions for a few weeks.
Also, waiting for the pre-chart stats IS like getting that 'Free Space' in Bingo.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

I'm guessing that Taylor stayed on. Otherwise, Alan would be at #33. There's no way Phil could be above him.

[S4C]

Yeah, she must have. Plus, the songs falling off are pretty predictable. Jewel lost almost ALL of her plays, and Carolina Rain lost half of theirs. Plus, Relentless went recurrent.

If these past couple weeks don't make BB reconsider the 20 week recurrent rule, I don't know what will.

[dcowboy77]

the problem isnt the bb 20 week rule....its the programmers that rushed the songs into the top 10 too fast....if keith, sugarland, taylor wouldve had runs like "just a dream" is having there wouldnt be a problem.

[kw9461]

^ I agree, but BB can't really control what PD's are doing, all they can do is react and make the chart rules accordingly. I actually kind of like the quicker charts. Sure, songs are getting rushed into the T10 based upon nothing more than name recognition, but that was happening anyway. At least this way the weaker songs are out of the T10 after 15 or so weeks. It wasn't that long ago that almost every #1 was spending 25+ weeks on the charts, which for someone like me who grows tired of songs rather quickly, was often agonizing.

[S4C]

^Those are my thoughts exactly.

I think they should install a 15/15 rule. It'll get the Sugarland/Taylor Swift/Brad Paisley/etc.'s off the charts when they fall below #15, but it would give the songs that stall just outside the top 10 a chance to rise some more before they fall off.

[zaclord]

i like that rule.

Wow, Darius had a .737 GAIN and was marked with no bullet.

EDIT: Brad Paisley and Kid Rock also had gains too. Must have something to do with the 3 re-instated stations.

Wow, I suck. Seriously, I think my total's a little low because I had to disqualify myself twice (forgot a song and didn't realize until it was too late).
