TOP 40 CHART: 01/10/2010

[Az Paynter]

I completely forgot to do this. Given how close it is to the update, what I'm gonna do is waive the Tuesday late penalty to give people more time to put in their picks. But the penalty from Wednesday onwards will remain unchanged so if there's any later ones they still get -5 onwards. Meanwhile, the Mediabase PDF is more confusing this week. According to current data this is Jason Derulo's 20th week but by the PDF this is Jasons 21st week...

Just a reminder...

Most stations aired year-end countdowns on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and/or the two weekend days that followed. This means recurrents comprised a higher than normal portion of airplay through Sunday, January 3.

Due to holiday and year-end countdown airplay, bullets for newer songs will...
Be lower than normal: Through January 4
Transition from lower than normal to higher than normal: January 5-10
Be higher than normal: January 11
Transition from higher than normal to normal: January 12-17
Return to normal: January 18

It feels like Monday but I just realized it was Tuesday. I fell asleep at 6pm last night and slept until work this morning so I missed my chance. Aw well. I'll do terrible anyway so it's ok that I'm late.

^ It's okay anyway. You're not late *this* time (well under normal circumstances you would be). ;) I completely spaced and forgot all about putting up this week's round until like 5 hours before the Tuesday update. No-one's really around during those 5 hours of course, so I'm dropping the Tuesday penalty so people can put in a prediction. Now if they post on Wednesday, then it's a -5 as normal.
