Why isn't AT40 doing the yearend chart? Or does he just do Top 40 (50) in one week instead of doing two weeks?

[radiobrett]

Yeah, they only do a one week Year End Top 40 for AT40 Hot AC. Or is it a Top 50? I can't remember. I want to say it's just a Top 40...

A Top 100 would allow for too many "new" songs to make it onto the year end. Heaven forbid that a song like "Bubbly" rank higher this year than "Since U Been Gone"!

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Below the 60s or 70s, there are a lot of obscure songs that didn't even make the Hot AC Top 30 probably. At least I remember it like that in the past. Therefore, songs that probably didn't even make it on AT40 (since there's no recurrent rule). I assume you pretty have to make the R&R equivalent Top 30 to make it to AT40 in most cases, eh?
