Thanks for posting the chart.

I like the way that AT40 plays old optional songs that we only hear on this show once per year. A few years ago, they were repeating the same songs every few weeks.

Gaga gets a massive debut and it's done already lol

So true. I wonder how high up it'll go on AT40 and how many weeks it will get.

I noticed there is a trend of self-empowerment songs:
#39, 33, 25, 10, and 7.

Ryan interviewed Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, and idol producer Nigel Lythgoe; and separately Jennifer Lopez. Gotta drum up some support for American Idol.
4 songs were the biggest droppers at 5 spaces, and 3 were the biggest movers up 5. Is this by design?

LOL

Ryan made a mistake. He referred to both of the "breakouts" from the previous week making the chart. But only one of them was
a "breakout", and the other the "Subway..." you know the rest.
