Falling Off The Chart:
Killers - Somebody Told Me (# 30 )
Notes:

Dees obviously used the pop version for the # 1 song saying that BoBD jumped from 5 to 1 and put it there to avoid a Mario return to # 1 on the pop chart
Some of these look like they were just put in and how in the hell is Seether and Amy Lee still on this chart.
It was more balanced to used the RR chart but this more interesting because you don't know where some of the songs are going to land giving more of an element of surprise

[Hervard]

Yeah, this is messed up! How come Rob Thomas debuts all the way down at number 31 when it was at #11 on the R&R version of the AC chart.

As wacky as it is, however, I gotta say that it makes more sense for Rick to have a full Top 40 chart than thirty songs with ten or so extras and still calling it "Rick Dees Weekly Top 40". He could have renamed it "The Rick Dees Weekly Countdown Show" or even "Rick Dees Weekly Top 30". Calling it "Top 40" when it's only Top 30 just doesn't seem right. So at least it's more accurate now, even though some of the positions don't make sense.

When did Rick go from 30 to 40 songs on his Hot AC show? This is news to me. I haven't heard the show in a couple of years.

[Hervard]

I heard that it was on the first show of the year.

There is a station in Benton Harbor that runs the show, but it's hard to get on my radio. Besides, who wants to get up at five in the morning to listen?

I will post for the 3/6 show tomorrow night as well as hopefully the listing for the American top 20 show.

I didn't know Kelly was #1 on this chart...oh wait it's Rick Dees..for a sec I thought it counted for something
