#20: Before It's Too Late (Sam & Mikaela's Theme)/The Goo Goo Dolls

Personal notes from this week's show

- Four songs are in the "not played list" due to two songs outside the Top 20 being run this week, one of them for the first time, a song called "Pictures Of You" by The Last Goodnight. I really like the song - has sort of a hypnotic effect, especially the intro. On the corresponding chart, it moves 23-22, in its 9th week on. Hopefully it picks up steam soon.

- Also premiering on this week's show is James Blunt's latest. So glad it's not one of his "whiny" songs, like a few of his previous hits. This has almost a jazzy feel to it.

- I expect that the other non-Top 20 song should hit the Top 20 on the R&R chart soon, possibly as early as next week.

LOL! I suppose it isn't too far of a stretch for him...

[Kid Pulse]

So was "Who Knew" played as if it was #1?

[Hervard]

No, it was just the last song played. The songs are not numbered.

Just a nitpick.

Songs in Top 20 of 10/5/07 R&R chart not played this week
#8: Makes Me Wonder/Maroon 5
#16: Wait For You/Elliott Yamin
#18: 4 In The Morning/Gwen Stefani

Personal notes from this week's show

- This marks the first show without "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5 since it debuted on the Hot AC chart way up at #21 this past April. I'm pretty sure we'll hear it a few more times before they drop it for good. But that's cool, because it's a good song. I never really got tired of it, which is more than I can say for their current hit.

- Premiering on this week's show is Santana's latest collaboration with a well-established artist. This time, it's Chad Kroeger, lead singer of Nickelback who have been played on the show for many weeks with their song "Rockstar". The song "Into The Night" should do well on the Hot AC chart, such is the case with many of Santana's collaborations, including several of them going to #1 for multiple weeks.

- As predicted last week, "Paralyzer" hits the Top 20 this week, as does "Pictures Of You" by The Last Goodnight, which was the other non-Top 20 song played last week. On this week's chart, there is only one song that has yet to hit the Top 20, which is the aforementioned Santana/Chad Kroeger song. I'd be surprised if the song doesn't hit the Top 20 by next week.

Personal notes from this week's show

- Not really much out of the ordinary about this week's show. No songs premiere, and a few songs returning after taking a week (or more) off. The usual eighteen songs were played and, with two songs in the "Top 20/not played" list, that means every song this week is in the Top 20 of the corresponding R&R chart.

Songs in the Top 20 of 10/19/07 R&R chart not played this week
#17: When You're Gone/Avril Lavigne
#19: Wait For You/Elliott Yamin

Personal notes on this week's show

- Wow, nineteen songs played this week. However, we see two songs on the "Top 20/Not played" list, which means that there was one song outside the Top 20 played.

- And that song is this week's sole premiere song, a song from a new artist by the name of Sara Bareilles. I like this one. Has great piano work. It has for the most part been taking baby steps up the Hot AC chart, but hopefully airplay on this show (as well as the Hot AC countdown shows - come on, you know them all!) will help the song to pick up speed.

- We finally have a new #1 song on the Hot AC chart. "Who Knew" by Pink finally takes away the crown from that miserably depressing Fergie song. However, hot on the heels of both songs is another song that I sort of find depressing for some reason, "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. Hopefully, the more I hear it, the less depressing that I'll find it, because it has pretty happy subject matter (while Fergie's song is far from being happy).
