Please excuse me while I LAUGH MY ASS OFF at finger eleven. I KNEW IT! The same thing that happened to Colbie Caillat a few weeks ago would exactly happen to finger eleven - fall down to #39 or #40 only to rebound several spots and become one of the fastest rising songs of the week. Seriously, this is just becoming a joke now. And where the heck is Natasha Bedingfield's "Soulmate"? They couldn't at least let another song fall off to make room for her on the chart? Close to reaching Top 20 in Hot AC and all they have to show for it so far is a breakout for one week...

Close to reaching Top 20 in Hot AC and all they have to show for it so far is a breakout for one week... "Soulmate" is rapidly gaining momentum on the official charts, so it will undoubtedly debut here soon, probably next week. But I agree 100% regarding the longevity of some of the songs here! However, if you take a look at the official charts with the recurrents left in, "Bubbly" and 'Paralyzer" are still in the top 40. But this is why Mediabase and BDS publish charts without recurrents and hence the reason for the recurrent rule in the first place! I understand why AT40 keeps them in, because they don't want to play songs that are unfamiliar to their affiliates. However, many of those songs are too old and I believe even adult listeners want to hear some newer music, at least more than just one or two new songs a week. My suggestion is to have AT40 instill a "60 week, below #20" recurrent rule where any song older than 60 weeks that has fallen below the top 20 is removed. Therefore, this method still keeps the newer songs to a minimum, but removes songs that have been on a ridiculous amount of time. And that 60 week number can be tweaked. 52 weeks might be a good number to use as well, but if that results in too many new songs, 60 weeks could ultimately be used. Regardless of the number, something needs to be done soon because even fans of the show are probably getting really exhausted hearing this stale music on here every week!

I completely agree, but no matter how much we complain, nobody at AT40 is going to care.

Another thing to point out is that at the rate this is going, Bubbly might last for 100 or more weeks.
Not that I'm saying it will happen, but anything's possible.

Well, give it another 3 months and see what happens. If it can actually last for that much longer, it could very well break the record set by Lifehouse ("You and Me") which remained on the AT40 for 95 or 96 weeks. And let's not forget "Paralyzer" as well. Honestly, I don't think anybody thought that it would last this long either, only one week shy of "Bubbly". From the way both these songs have been moving on the chart lately, they're on pace to be making history here if this keeps up.

The optional extras were the same as on the CHR/Pop show.
Avril Lavigne - I'm With You Buckcherry - Sorry Gwen Stefani - Cool Jordin Sparks - One Step At A Time
Did anyone notice that, when "Cool" was played, they repeated the last "chorus" ("And I'll be happy for you/If you can be happy for me")? Perhaps that's something they regularly do on the show and I just didn't notice until now.
Regarding "Paralyzer" making the biggest jump of the week even though it's been on the chart for over a year and a half, I was like WTF too. Ryan seemed rather surprised about it too. I don't mind that much about the older songs staying on the chart, though. It's basically just something I've learned to accept.
