"All Over You" is eligible next week, but since the song is at its peak, it could be held over.



Can they do that? Whats the official rule of that? I thought it was below #15, 20 weeks or more and you're out but do they allow it to keep going if your peaking? For how long?

Mediabase has allowed songs below #15 to stay on beyond 20 weeks if they believed the song still has potential for growth. I don't know of any set rules for this, and it's probably left up to the chart manager to decide.

"Nothing Left To Lose" by Mat Kearney was the most recent example of that rule. That song took about 22 or 23 weeks just to make the top 15, let alone the #6 peak that song achieved a couple of months later. If that song had been removed, I'm sure quite a few stations would not have taken a chance it.
