Her album can be very tiring, despite the a few gems that I would rather pluck on to a playlist. I'm surprised this actually did something here.

Just curious, why is this song still hanging around on the chart? It's lost its bullet, it's been on for more than 20 weeks and it's below #15.

Just curious, why is this song still hanging around on the chart? It's lost its bullet, it's been on for more than 20 weeks and it's below #15. I was wondering that myself. This song singlehandedly kept "Disturbia" by Rihanna out of the top 20, though it has spent two weeks at #20 on the BDS chart. I sometimes wonder if the chart "keepers" try to keep songs like "Disturbia" out of the top 20 since they sound more CHR sounding than Hot AC sounding. Maybe I'm just sore and overreacting, but you never know how things work sometimes. Anyway regardless, these charts need to stick to the recurrent rules and not play games. It is not fair to other songs trying to climb up the chart, it slows the chart down and fewer songs become hits because stations give up on songs when recurrents are kept on longer than they should. Unless the song is being rereleased or still bulleted, those recurrent ready songs should be taken off immediately after the song reaches the 20 week criteria. That is only fair to the rest of the songs on the chart.

In the latest R&R chart, it's still bulleted despite the loss of spins:
18 17 22 ADELE CHASING PAVEMENTS XL/COLUMBIA 1055 -9 2.803 26
Probably has to do with this ruling: "A song will also receive a bullet if its percentage loss in plays does not exceed the percentage of monitored station downtime for the format."
However: "A song that has been on the chart for more than 20 weeks will generally not receive a bullet, even if it registers an increase in plays."
Man, IDK.

I'm really not sure why this song hasn't been removed to recurrent. It lost its bullet last week and yet was left on the charts. One explanation is that the record company is really pushing this song and encouraging Mediabase to leave it on. You may recall that a while back "Put Your Records on" suddenly came back from recurrent status because the record label said it was still actively promoting the song.
Another explanation is that Mediabase simply forgot to take it off this week when it lost its bullet. It's happened before. However, given that BDS is also keeping the song on, I would go with my first explanation above.

Were there any singles besides CP? They should release something to capitalize on the grammy attention. I love Hometown Glory.

#7 on iTunes. They should send this for a wider radio release.

She's going to rechart on my personal chart, CP reached #2 in March 2008, pwned by Kylie's Wow, will she get to #1?
