For some reason I thought "Scars" went top 20 at Hot AC!

"Scars" peaked at #29.

Since the top 10 of the regular Hot AC year end chart is available already elsewhere, I decided just to go ahead and put up the entire chart today.

I will be updating my list of the top 100 songs of the entire history of the Hot AC chart within the next couple of weeks.

I've updated my top 100 songs of the entire history of the Hot AC chart:

I also tried an alternate method of calcuating the top 100, based on how songs compared to an average (see page for details):

Awesome job with these charts! Your alternate rankings are very interesting. It appears that the more recent songs are ranked higher, probably because of the recurrent rules creating shorter chart runs, which creates a lower yearly average.

That's weird, considering it's pretty much representative of what HAC radio plays today and it spent a ton of weeks on the CHR/Pop chart.
