As expected, The Fray got a high debut. Likewise, Taylor Swift also enters the countdown thanks to a fast start. Neither one of them were featured as breakouts.

Speaking of breakouts, "Keeps Gettin' Better" by Christina Aguilera is questionable at this point, considering how it's pretty much peaked and overall has about run its course. A few weeks ago or a month ago maybe, but this late in the game, it's not going to go far. I think it should have jumped on to the chart instead of having to go through the breakout and extra phases. My pick for breakout this week would have gone to Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy".

Seems like all those new entries in the last week and even the last month didn't do much...Missy Higgins drops down to #39. Kevin Rudolf manages to move up only one and The Killers move down one. Yet, "Bubbly" still hangs on for week #70 and "Paralyzer" doesn't even move from where it was last week.

Last but not least, I'm amazed to see how Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call" (finally gone from the chart) had such a long run on the AT40 to outlast any of the other singles from their recent album, even "Makes Me Wonder". Did it also manage to outlast the runs by any of the singles from "Songs About Jane"?
Sure, "Wake Up Call" was a hit but I never thought it was a song that would have been on the AT40 for more than a year, let alone at least one.

is the top 40 version of At40 airing part one of its year end show?

[ericNY2002]

Makes Me Wonder spent 52 weeks on this chart. Not sure about any Maroon 5 single before that though sorry.

As for the pop AT40, I think its a regular chart this week and the year end the next 2 but Iam not sure, as hot ac was supposed to be year end shows 12-27 and 1-3 but now 1-3 will be a regular show.

I read from a post on another AT40 topic within this forum that indeed mentioned the year-end show for Hot AC will air the weekend of December 27 and 28.

For the weekend of January 3 and 4, it will be a regular weekly show with a guest host.

The CHR version of the AT40 will be running year-end charts as follows:

Part 1 (100-51): December 20 and 21
Part 2 (50-1): December 27 and 28

Regular weekly shows return in the new year for the weekend of January 3 and 4 with a guest host, likewise with the Hot AC version.
