Well, with two exceptions, it looks like Rick put away the dartboard this year. This actually looks like a legitimate Hot AC chart!

That said, I will wait until next week before I jump to any conclusions!

[musicfanpete]

Actually, upon further review, Rick does rank eight songs at the same spots on both the Hot AC chart and CHR chart. There are also two artists ranked at the same spot on both charts, but with different songs on each chart. So while he is still copying his own charts, there are far fewer CHR crossovers appearing on his Hot AC chart this year. And surprisingly, most of those eight songs rank fairly close to their spots on the official Hot AC charts, Paramore and We Three Kings notwithstanding.

1 Leona Lewis: Bleeding Love

Gee, what a shock. He has the same number one song as on his CHR chart....again! But nice to see strong showings by Fergie, Madonna and Delta Goodrem. I like that his chart isn't entirely the same as the official charts.

Surprised to see "Chasing Cars" on there. Didn't that fall off in mid 2007?

[musicfanpete]

I'm pretty sure it did. But, that's another of Rick's "requirements" for his year-end charts. Throw on a couple of two year old songs to account for recurrents. :) Seriously though, there are quite a few stations that had this ranked in their year-end top 50 this year, so it is still getting quite a lot of recurrent airplay.

Ditto with "It's Not Over" at #48.

Does anyone have the CHR Top 100 of 2008

I would think it was posted somewhere on the CHR board. I can check to see if it is.

[raydio]

no - not posted

[Hervard]

Yes it is posted. Here is the link:

pulsemusic.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=pop&action=display&thread=80260

("Rick Dees" wasn't in the subject line, so it was easy to overlook)

The Hot AC chart looks a lot like the CHR/Pop one, heralding back to the late 1990s, when Dees took the CHR/Pop chart, poked a few holes in it, and called it Hot AC.

Unfortunately the entire chart was not posted. I don't believe it is still on Rick's website, so hopefully someone else has it.
