Note: All Access said the 12/16 chart was the last "published" chart of 2007. However, the charts at mediabasemusic.com continue to accrue weeks on, so I am taking those to be "official" charts. Also, the recurrent rule may be suspended, as there are songs on the AC chart that should have been removed. We'll see next week for sure on the HAC chart as "Her Eyes" is supposed to go recurrent then.

#1: "Bubbly" holds at #1 for a tenth week.

Oldest Song: "First Time" with 34 weeks on.

Oldest Song below #15: "Calling You" with 24 weeks.

Possibly Going to Recurrent: "First Time", "Big Girls Don't Cry" when the songs fall below #15.

Going to Recurrent: "Calling You" is in limbo. It's losing spins, but it's been left on the chart. "Her Eyes" would go recurrent next week, but it appears that the recurrent rules are suspended during the 2 holiday weeks.

Biggest Mover: Maroon 5's "Won't Go Home without You" jumps 5 notches to #29 for the week's biggest move.

Debuts: "Say" by John Mayer enters at #40, this week's only debut. It's his 10th hit.

Exiting the Survey: "Light Up the Sky", 9 weeks

Other Notes: "Apologize" climbs 2 to #2. It's the only song to move up in the top 10 this week.
In this slow holiday period, half of the top 20 songs remain in the same positions as last week.
"The Way I Am" climbs 3 to #20.
Most of the songs on the chart move 2 positions or less.
Ouch! of the Week: Only a small "Ouch" this week: "Hate that I Love You" falls 3 to #34.
