DAN'S NOTES

*I'm surprised that Madonna debuted below Alanis. I mean, it's not THAT weird, but I've heard NOTHING from Alanis, while Madonna has been super hyped! I was almost expect a "Better Days"-like debut from Madge.

*Congratulations to the Goo Goo Dolls, for ruining a great song and charting with said ruined song for FAR too long. The DVD/CD combo was released back in November of 2004, with the single coming even earlier, and yet THIS is still around.

*I expected Train to just about be off the chart this week due their losses the past few weeks, and then they "surprise" me with a one spot drop? No fair! Leave, Train!

*I love the fact that they're using the optional extras to play the Breakouts. Kinda like, "Yeah, we know we said it was coming, but not this week"

*AHHHHH! The return of Creed!!! (kinda, but just as bad)

*Bon Jovi is charting FAR too high for a they've already released as a different song.

*I love how Ryan always gives little promos of who's coming up.. "Hey, imagine going to college next year and THIS guy is your roommate... that's coming up." I mean, for the love of God, Ryan, we know it's Rivers from Weezer. It's the only damn thing you mention when you talk about Weezer!

*Gwen Stefani doesn't know if she has a vagina, apparently. Gender confusion in rock! LOVE IT!

At least finally the Killers are gone! But with that said, they need to not keep playing songs as extras that JUST dropped out of the countdown.

[HolidayGuy]

How many stations does this countdown air on (if it indeed does air)? Is it also based on stations that carry the program?

Good that Hung Up's now appearing widespread on the various radio countdowns!

Yes. The chart is based on airplay for their affiliate stations as monitored by Mediabase 24/7.

That phrasing "as monitored by Mediabase 24/7" always trips me up. Does that mean only Mediabase-monitored affilates count toward AT40, or does a non-monitored station that carries AT40 also contribute?

You need to be a Top 100 market radio station to count for the countdown spin totals.
