I've been trying to compile some chart records for the HAC chart. I used a computer program to analyze some of the data to come up with records and have not completely double-checked the results. Therefore some of the following may not be correct! Those I am not sure about have a (*) in front of them. Corrections/comments are welcomed:
("Most weeks" records do not include the weeks R&R takes a holiday break)
Most Weeks at #1: 23 weeks. "Smooth" - Santana f/ Rob Thomas
(*) Most Weeks in the top 5: 33 weeks. "Smooth" - Santana... & "Drops of Jupiter" - Train
(*) Most Weeks in the top 10: 52 weeks. "Drops of Jupiter" - Train
(*) Most Weeks in the top 20: 68 weeks . "Drops of Jupiter" - Train
Most Weeks on the chart: 71 weeks. "Drops of Jupiter" - Train
Most Weeks at #2 (for a song that peaked at #2): 17 weeks. "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback
Most Weeks at #3 (for a song that peaked at #3): 13 weeks. "Barely Breathing" by Duncan Sheik

matchbox twenty has the record of most total weeks over any other single artist at #1.
Also, I don't know whether "This Love" beat matchbox twenty's record of total spins in a single week of 4361 for "Unwell" or didn't.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

I wonder how close HBAM by Lifehouse came to most weeks in the top 5. It returned to #1 MONTHS after it fell out originally...

yes, it did it with more than 4400 spins In previous years, I don't know how many or how many less monitored stations they had monitoring the formats, but as far as the highest number of spins in a single week divided by the number of stations, "This Love" would have the highest per-spin average in a week.

Because competing singles fell from the Top 5 faster than Train and Lifehouse, they both kept rebounding position-wise while losing spins. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

There was a Santana song that jumped 10 notches a couple years ago. I'd be willing to bet that that was some kind of record for biggest mover within the Top 20.

"Hanging by a Moment" by Lifehouse and "Whereever You Will Go" by the Calling are tied in third place (remember, there is a tie for first) for weeks in the top 5. They each spent 30 weeks there. |

Thanks for the info. So interesting to me. Appreciate the effort. It is interesting how some songs just linger so long. The mark of a great song. Some artists' songs zoom up fast and then fade fast. I was just thinking of the longevity issue when I noticed Here Without You by 3DD and Unwell by MB20 (or was it BL) on some Billboard chart for almost a year. Wow, congrats to any artist that can accomplish that!
