Songs in Top 20 of 8/24/07 R&R chart not played this week
#14: If Everyone Cared/Nickelback
#20: Wait For You/Elliott Yamin

Personal notes from this week's show

- My station had technical difficulties at the end of the show and the last segment was omitted, so the last song was approximate (before cutting to commercials in the segment before, they mentioned that Pink was coming up next, so that's how I know the first song in the segment). As far as I know, the last song might have been a song below #20 (such as "Dreaming With A Broken Heart" by John Mayer), but, unless someone here heard that show and was taking notes, we'll probably never know, so, since I like shows in which nothing but Top 20 songs are played, that's why I picked "The Sweet Escape" (besides, I like that song a lot better!"

- One song premieres this week, and that is by a newcomer by the name of Colbie Caillat. The song is called "Bubbly", a relaxing song with a somewhat melancholy melody. The song enters the Top 20 on the corresponding R&R chart, making an impressive 25-18 move, so I think we can expect to hear this song a lot in the weeks ahead.

- My least favorite song on the chart, "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse, looks to be just about done, as it's #15 on the chart, without a bullet. With a whole bunch of songs coming up behind it, I have a feeling that it will soon leave the Top 20 (and, as a consequence, the show).

Songs in Top 20 of 8/31/07 R&R chart not played this week
#10: The Sweet Escape/Gwen Stefani f/Akon
#13: U + Ur Hand/Pink
#14: If Everyone Cared/Nickelback

Personal notes from this week's show

- Two songs premiere this week. The first one is John Mayer's latest "Dreaming With A Broken Heart" (of course, it's not known for sure whether or not the song was played last week, due to the technical difficulty I spoke of then), which is a beautiful song, but the subject matter is kind of depressing. Somehow, depressing songs seem to get to me this year more than they had in previous years. But I digress.

- The other song is another such song, but I really like it. It's the new song by Daughtry called "Over You", which, like the John Mayer song, enters the Top 20 of the corresponding R&R chart this week, although Daughtry's seven notch move dwarfs the one-spot move of "Dreaming". Daughtry's preceding hit, "Home" is still going strong in the Top Five, so we're probably not quite done hearing that song yet.

- One song was played that's outside the Top 20. That would be
"Dig" by Incubus, which is practically on its last legs. Being on the chart for eighteen weeks, it only has two more weeks in which it is playable on this show (theoretically, anyway, since Best Week Ever Radio has yet to play a song that's been moved to recurrent).

Songs in Top 20 of 9/7/07 R&R chart not played this week
#14: U + Ur Hand/Pink
#17: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs/Fall Out Boy
#20: All At Once/The Fray

Personal notes from this week's show

- When the show started out, the normal amount of songs played was sixteen. Nowadays, the average is eighteen, which I think is cool - we hear more variety.

- One song premieres this week and it's the only song played this week that's outside the Top 20 on the corresponding R&R chart. "Her Eyes" didn't miss by much though; it shoots ahead seven spots to #21 and should hit the Top 20 next week.

- I was kinda hoping that they'd play "All At Once" by the Fray, since it's probably not going to be hanging around the Top 20 for long. Even though it moves ahead three spots, it doesn't have a bullet.

Unfortunately, due to yet another technical difficulty (is it me, or has 94.9 The Coast been having lots of those with this show lately?), they repeated last week's show. At least it's not as bad as Fox All Access - they've been playing the one from August 12 every single week since then! Methinks they should fine tune their computer!

#8: Home/Daughtry
#14: The Sweet Escape/Gwen Stefani f/Akon
#17: Before It's Too Late (Sam & Mikaela's Theme)/The Goo Goo Dolls

Personal notes from this week's show

- Two songs premiere this week. The first one is by Finger Eleven. You remember them, don't you? They had a big hit in 2004 called "One Thing". That was a ballad, but they rock out on this new song, called "Paralyzer", which is also the only song featured this week that's outside the Top 20. It climbs 24-22 and should make the Top 20 soon.

- The other song I'm not sure whether it's a premiere or not. Since I didn't get to hear last week's show, and it was #18 on that, it very well could have been played last week. Anyway, the song is "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5. I'm not too much for that song. It's definitely not as good as their preceding song, which is still going strong in the Top Five.

- My favorite song on the chart, "Over You" by Daughtry, enters the Top Ten this week. They backed off of their preceding hit "Home" this week and I have a feeling they might not play it quite as often now. I have noticed that once a given artist's new song hits the Top Ten, Best Week Ever tends not to play the older song but just a few more times.
