What's the explanation for how Birds of a Feather avoided recurrency this week? Down 3 weeks in a row, 20+ weeks on chart, below #1 and below #5 ... so it would seem to meet any criteria for recurrency. Or is it now 25 weeks? It has to be below #10 for the 20 weeks criteria to apply. I think it has to be 25 weeks for songs to go recurrent below #5 (although the new rule hasn't been made clear - I know some people also are guessing the new rule is 26 weeks). Also, no songs are able to go recurrent "below #1." The person who said that a couple pages ago was just joking lol. So that's very much the rule on the country chart. With Espresso and A Bar Song getting pulled last week despite being in the Top 10, it was unclear whether Mediabase was now applying the country rule to pop ... or some new pop rule. We can now conclude that it's *not* the country rule ... but based on Birds of a Feather staying despite being down, below Top 5, and a 20+ week veteran, they also didn't just move the threshold from Top 10 to Top 5. Hence my speculation that it's maybe 25 weeks before a song could go recurrent. Point is ... we should all want to know what the rule is. By far the most interesting thing on the pop chart right now. |

What’s interesting is that the new rule isn’t actually making the chart fresher. If the old rule were still in place, “Please Please Please” and “360” would both be gone.

If the old rule were still in placeRule addition, not rule change (meaning 'the old rule' as you put it, is still in place). Also, 'Please Please Please' never left the top 10, it was #10 in the morning update before 'Espresso' and 'A Bar Song' got wiped. So it wouldn't have left the chart regardless. |

So, 12/8 will likely be the last week recurrents and purges are removed. Then, the chart is "frozen" for 12/15, 12/22, and 12/29. |

If Espresso and ABS didn’t leave, PPP would’ve been #11 and 360 would’ve been #42 on yesterday’s update, meaning that both would’ve left the chart. |

The more likely three weeks this year would be the weekends surrounding the shortened holiday weeks of Christmas and New Year's: 12/22, 12/29, and 1/5. |

Yep, the #40 song on last week's chart would've still been #40 without the recurrent rule changes. Essentially, really old songs are being kept safe in the top 10 due to the removal of really, really old songs from slots 6-10. |
