AT40 (HOT AC) - OCTOBER 16-17, 2010

Notables:
"What Do You Got" has gone from breakout status last week to being the only new entry on this weekend's chart. It debuts at #34.
After spending the first four weeks at #40, "Speakers" moves up one swapping places with "The Sound Of Sunshine", which drops one rank from its debut last week.
"Just The Way You Are" is this week's biggest mover - up 6 spots.
"The Only Exception" takes a considerable drop - down 8 spots.
"If I Had You" enters the Top 20.
"Animal" enters the Top 10.
"Teenage Dream" enters the Top 5.

Between "Breakeven", "Hey, Soul Sister" and "Use Somebody", which of these songs are on their way to having the same lengthy run like "I'm Yours"?

Nickelback's run on the AT40 has reached two full years courtesy of four singles released from the "Dark Horse" era. It all started when "Gotta Be Somebody" had a high debut at #12 back late in October 2008. It remained on the chart for 56 weeks, 6 of which were at #1. Follow-up singles included "If Today Was Your Last Day" (37 weeks, #2 peak) and "Never Gonna Be Alone" (27 weeks, #5 peak). Still charting, their most recent single "This Afternoon" peaked at #4 over a run that has reached half a year.

I tried listening, and who is on but Nicole Richie (as alluded to above). Now I ask this in the kindest sense possible, but what the f*** is she doing on a countdown show? Personally I prefer David Cross' description of her, as simply a c*nt.
