I know this is an absurd thing to say regarding a top 20 Mediabase hit, but I do not think "Come On Get Higher" will hit Rick's chart at all at this point. And "Kristy" probably won't now, either, as that has peaked.

Rick hates him. That's the deal. His point in life is to make Matt's life a living hell.

Really, I don't know. There are songs that have been on the chart for less time than him, and yet he isn't on there. Was he an extra, at least?

[atlantaboy]

^Yeah my guess is they're makin a conscious effort to avoid Hot AC/Rock stuff prob. to cater to teen stations that still air his show...he's seriously gotta be hurtin financially (lots of stations in past couple years have flipped to AT40, Dees lost his L. A. morning show, etc.) so this is prob. just a really conservative move to hang on to what CHRs he still has, or maybe to pitch his show to the new pop/rhythmics CHRs that've been comin out in the last couple months

Actually kinda wonderin how many CHRs are still airing Dees...guessin it's about half the number it was in the late 90s

I don't know; haven't listened to it yet.

I was just listening to a portion of this, and Rick played "Kristy" as an extra! Doesn't mean for sure that it'll hit his chart, but it's a good sign.
