This goes recurrent in Hot AC, without making a significant dent in CHR.

Wow, so many interesting highlights in this week's chart.

Thanks heaps for this! :)

You beat me to it! Yes, it did peak at #22.

Also, forgot to note how amazing it is for "Thinking of You" to go recurrent in Hot AC, despite its modest peak (just outside the Top 10, which is underperforming but definitely not a flop).

Barring any hitches, WUIV should be a 4th smash hit for Katy in Hot AC. This can solidify her status as a core Hot AC artist, a la Kelly Clarkson and P!nk.

[Gravity.]

I'm disappointed that Thinking of You didn't go top ten on HAC. I wanted all of her singles to peak in the top ten here. (I'm sure that Waking Up In Vegas will be a top 10 at least.)

From the latest published Hot AC chart:

2 1 SHINEDOWN Second Chance 3401 3116 285 16.029
1 2 FRAY You Found Me 3239 3251 -12 17.993
5 3 NICKELBACK If Today Was Your La... 3159 2967 192 16.164
6 4 THEORY OF A DEADMAN Not Meant To Be 2954 2790 164 12.501
3 5 ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS Gives You Hell 2890 3091 -201 16.513

Current Top 5 songs are from bands. When was the last time this happened?

[Hot AC Archiver]

I did a quick check...and I believe this is the first time since September 2004. Here is the top 5 for 9/24/04:

1. She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
2. The Reason - Hoobastank
3. Heaven - Los Lonely Boys
4. One Thing - Finger Eleven
5. Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows

Too bad, "This Town" missed the chance to go recurrent.

And I gotta feeling IGF will be BEP's biggest HAC hit.

I do wish some songs finally go recurrent. The HAC chart has been pretty boring the past couple of weeks.
