While it's nice to see some new songs on this chart, it would have been even better to see songs like Wake Up Call and Paralyzer drop off rather than the newer ones that did.

Hard to believe that Bubbly's still there. 65 weeks on the chart and still hanging in the top 30? That is so 2007. Seriously, I question whether it will finally disappear by the end of the year. And to think, that only a few weeks ago, Colbie Caillat had three songs on the chart - her most recent single "The Little Things" was the first to fall off. Realize will probably be next before Bubbly.

What's the record for the longest run for a song on the AT40 to date?

[ericNY2002]

The record for the longest run on this chart belongs to "You and Me" from Lifehouse which was on the chart for 95 weeks.

"Over my Head (Cable Car) by the Fray is 2nd with 78 weeks.

[Battle601]

Wow, thanks for the info. So Lifehouse had one song that stayed on the charts for nearly two years.

I do recall The Fray having one of their songs stay on the chart beyond one year - I wasn't sure which one it was. I intially thought it was "How To Save A Life" and I'm guessing that song also lasted 60+ weeks.

Thanks for the info.

Based on the latest Mediabase Hot AC charts, I'm hoping that the latest round of new songs should help speed things up a bit. Note the rapid rises by Coldplay ("Lovers in Japan") and Beyonce ("If I Were a Boy") so both of those songs should jump on the chart in the next weeks. There's also Kevin Rudolf, Christina Aguilera, and The Killers, all of which should be getting some exposure by now, at the very least as breakout features.

Hopefully we will see some action pick up soon, as the songs you mention will hopefully help out: Heres other long chart runs:

The Fray: How to Save A Life 74 weeks
John Mayer: Waitin On the World to Change 71 weeks
Pink: Who Knew 67 weeks
Green Day: Blvd. Of Broken Dreams 62 weeks
Natasha Bedingfield: Unwritten 61 weeks
Nickelback: Far Away 60 weeks
Mat Kearney: Nothing Left to Lose 60 weeks
Staind: Right Here 60 weeks
Nickelback: Photograph 60 weeks
