Total chart life of "How To Save A Life".

I believe somebody asked about a poll on The Fray, so here it is.

Did the song debut on the chart in October, 2006?

If so, I vote for October, 2007. It'll have fallen out of the Top Ten by then. Perhaps it'll even have fallen out of the Top Fifteen before then - thus, September, 2007 or before should have been an option.

But it'll probably still remain. "Look After You" was certainly overshadowed by this song.

Keep in mind though that this poll is based on AT40 Hot AC, which has no recurrent rule.

This should have been recurrent status about 4 months ago. It's a good song, but too overplayed. I'm really tired of it!

In fact, it's spun so much that its follow-up "Look After You" didn't stand a chance of going top 10. "Look After You" and a few other uncharted tracks on their CD deserve more airtime than "How".

Let's face it - "How" has had its moment in the spotlight. It's been on the Hot AC chart since last summer, and enjoyed a 12-week run at #1. It needs to go away.

Oops! Sorry about that. I should have read the entire post.

That said, I don't think it'll go recurrent until sometime in early 2008. Still a little early to tell when, but January or February sounds feasible. March or April should have been an option, too, because I doubt it'll fall off in October. But then again, I really don't know, since I don't listen to AT40 HAC and hence, I don't follow the chart.

Younger crowds still "cling" to this particular song by the Fray - if you combine Hot AC and Top 40 charts, "Over My Head (Cable Car)" was the #1 song of 2006 - "How To Save A Life" has got to be the #1 song of 2007 (think it'll stay around much longer than "It's Not Over") - "Look After You" definitely got shafted b/c it sounded too similar to "How To Save A Life"

LOL at the two votes for Never!
