I have calculated the top 100 songs from 1994 to 2003 on the Hot AC chart using a simple inverse point system. I will be posting the entire chart on my website later this week, but I thought I would share some highlights: Lowest regular weekly peak position to chart: "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones. The song peaked at #8 on the weekly chart and ends up at #68. Lowest ranked #1 song: "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion at #100. Matchbox Twenty have 5 songs in the top 40. #50 is "Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker, #40 is "Calling All Angels" by Train, #17 is "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls (that is #1 on my calculation of the pop chart top 100 calbean.users3.50megs.com/at40/top100.html) Here is the top 10: 1. Drops of Jupiter - Train 2. Smooth - Santana f/ Rob Thomas 3. Wherever You Will Go - The Calling 4. Hanging by a Moment - Lifehouse 5. Slide - Goo Goo Dolls 6. Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon 7. If You're Gone - Matchbox 20 8. Unwell - Matchbox Twenty (*) still on chart at end of 2003 9. How You Remind Me - Nickelback 10. Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer |

Whoa! No "Iris" in the Top 10 I'm a bit suprised by that too. I haven't heard a single Vertical Horizon track forever on my station, nor "Kiss Me". Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I don't get it...why is the chart on this forum completely different than the chart on the link you made?

The chart has finally been posted. :) You can find it at: calbean.users3.50megs.com/at20/top100hac.html<Oops! I just noticed that some of the position numbers don't show up. I'll have to fix it later...  > Regarding "Iris", the difference between it and #10 is only about 100 points, not very much for songs that spend a while on the chart. "Iris" only spent 43 weeks on the chart, while "Kiss Me" (#10) spent 53 weeks and was able to earn more points. |

Do you have any idea how many points matchbox twenty's "Unwell" ended up with since it's the highest song on the list that was still current at the end of 03?

I made a *few* mistakes, including "Bent". Thank you very much for catching that error!! After going through my list again, I found that I accidentally left off 4 songs. (That's what I get for making the page at 3 in the morning). Anyway, the list has been corrected and posted on the web site. "Bent" came in at #11. Other songs that were added in the correction: "Again" by Lenny Kravitz - #27 "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant - #55 "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind, #78 My original post above was corrected as well. MB20 now have 5 songs in the top 40 of all time.

Now Real World by MB20 is on the chart twice. Maybe one of them is suppose to be "Mad Season" ?
