Personal notes from this week's show
- Wow, quite an unusually long list of songs in the Top 20 that were skipped over this week. That's due to the fact that they played two songs that are edging closer to the Top 20 and the fact that there were seventeen songs played. Do the math and it indeed comes out to five. Most of these are songs pretty much on their way out.
- Two premiere songs this week and those are the aforementioned "Non-Top 20" songs. The first of them is a song that I mentioned several times back in May, the Madonna/Justin Timberlake collaboration "4 Minutes". Oddly enough, the song actually drops a notch this week. They usually don't play downward moving songs outside the Top 20 even if they retain their bullet. But they made an exception this time
- The other song that has yet to make the Top 20 is "Pocketful Of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield. But, given her Hot AC chart history, I think it's a pretty safe bet to hit the Top 20, probably as soon as next week.
- This week's song to watch is "Bottle It Up" by Sara Bareilles. It makes the biggest move on the Hot AC chart this week, jumping from 38 to 31, so it doesn't look to be suffering "recurrentitis" from what could become the year's Top HAC hit, "Love Song".

Songs in the Top 20 of the 5/30/08 Hot AC chart not played this week #19: Love Remains The Same/Gavin Rossdale #20: If I Had Eyes/Jack Johnson
Personal notes from this week's show
- Note that the two skipped songs are at the very bottom of the Top 20 of the R&R chart, meaning that everything from 18 on up was played. That doesn't happen very often. Usually a song or two around #15, generally having run its course and about to be shipped off to recurrentland, is passed over, but not this time.
- No premiere songs this week, but, as I predicted last week, "Pocketful Of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield breaks into the Top 20 this week, moving up four spots to #17, the biggest mover within the Top 30.
- "4 Minutes" by Madonna & Justin Timberlake recovers, moving back up two spots to #21, but since the show stuck to songs in the Top 20 this week, the song was passed over. It could hit the Top 20 next week.
- There are actually two songs to watch this week. The first one is the other new entry to the Top 20, "Love Remains The Same" by newcomer Gavin Rossdale, which climbs 22-19.
- The other song to watch is "If I Never See Your Face Again", Maroon 5's latest smash, in which they team up with Rihanna. Maroon 5 has a pretty impressive track record on the Hot AC chart, for as long as they've been charting. In fact, their only song to miss the Top Ten was their first one, "Harder To Breathe". This one should have no problem joining their other hits that have enjoyed Top Ten success.
- This is actually my third attempt at posting this list. We had two power outages last night and both times, I was working on this. But third time is a charm, as I managed to get this posted without a power failure preventing it.

Songs in the Top 20 of the 6/6/08 Hot AC chart not played this week #12: Paralyzer/Finger Eleven #14: These Hard Times/Matchbox Twenty #20: 4 Minutes/Madonna f/Justin Timberlake
Personal notes from this week's show
- A month back, I noted that "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven had been played virtually every week since its premiere on the show the last weekend of September, 2007. This week, however, they passed over it (even though it actually moved back up the chart). They might play it a few more times before it goes recurrent on the Hot AC chart, though. It should definitely make the year-ender. It has definitely gotten a lot of mileage on the charts.
- One premiere song on the chart this week, and it's one of the songs I mentioned as "song to watch" last week, Gavin Rossdale's debut single "Love Remains The Same". I rather like the song - somewhat hypnotic.
- A song I recently mentioned as "song to watch" is Sara Bareilles's "Bottle It Up". That song, however, is now starting to show signs of recurrent-itis from "Love Song", as it holds at #30 for a second week. Not sure what'll happen; depends on how fast "Love Song" declines.
- This week's song to watch is "The Time Of My Life" by American Idol winner David Cook. On the Hot AC chart, it debuts at #31 with a healthy airplay gain of 258 plays. I heard it several times last week and sounds like it definitely has potential.

Songs in the Top 20 of the 6/13/08 Hot AC chart not played this week #13: Paralyzer/Finger Eleven #16: New Soul/Yael Naim #18: Mercy/Duffy
Personal notes from this week's show
- One premiere song this week, and it's the latest by Jason Mraz. He's had a six hits on the Hot AC chart, but, surprisingly, only one of them went Top Ten - his debut single "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)", which peaked at #4 in late summer, 2003. Will this song become his second? We'll have to wait and see.
- Last week's song to watch, "The Time Of My Life" by David Cook, is now right outside the Top 20. I have a feeling that it'll premiere on next week's show.
- Of the three skipped songs, only one of them is a song that's been on the chart for months and months and is starting to burn out. That song is "Paralyzer" which, until last week, had been played pretty much on a weekly basis since early fall. The other two songs are relatively new, but kind of dogpaddling in the lower reaches of the Top 20.
- This week's record to watch is most definitely "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, no questions about it! The song makes a monster 36-24 move on the Hot AC chart and looks like it'll be a cinch make the Top 20 by next week. Who knows, maybe it'll even premiere on Best Week Ever Radio.

Unfortunately, I don't have the show for June 29, 2008. 98.3 The Coast screwed up and played the wrong show and the other station on which I catch the show, WIMS, was running NASCAR races during the afternoon and, even though I listened for the show at the top of every hour (they tend to play the show randomly on NASCAR weekends), it never came on. If anyone happened to listen to the show, by all means, post the list if you have it!
