Thanks for the update! Nice to see AT40 celebrating thier 37th anniversary this week. I remember listening in 2005, the 35th anniversary, when Ryan Seacrest played a clip from the very first countdown show.

And I'm surprised to know that P!nk has more Hot AC hits than Collective Soul!! :o

Also, nice to see The Goo Goo Dolls go 13-for-13 with thier hits making the top 20. They're one of my favorite bands.

Thanks for the update! Awesome to see Nickelback break that record! It's a bummer how close Kelly Clarkson came without breaking it in 2006. I think Daughtry might make a run at that record, too.


Great to Matchbox get back in after all this time!!
