Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 10/16/10

[musicfanpete]

Maroon 5 holds onto the number one spot for the third week in a row with "Misery". Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" jumps up 3 spots this week to #3, setting up a three-way race for the top next week between Perry, Maroon 5 and Daughtry, anyone of which could wind up on top.

There are three big movers this week giving the chart a bit of an "old school" feel despite only one debut. Bruno Mars and Bon Jovi make big jumps up the chart while "Bulletproof" by La Roux took a big hit dropping 14 spots to #37.

Hanson makes their first appearance on Rick's chart in years with their latest hit "Thinkin' Bout Somethin'". To put this in perspective, the last time these three brothers had a big hit was when they were 8 to 16 years old, over a decade ago!

Finally, there is at least one interesting Bonus Track this week. I'll leave to everyone to figure out which one it is!

Hmmm.. the Script is eight weeks away from tying Jason Mraz's longevity record, right?

And yeah, I wouldn't have guessed "3" unless I was given about 1,000 chances.

Yes, the Script is eight weeks away from tying "I'm Yours", which ironically was played as a Bonus Track this week (probably for about the fourth or fifth time this year).

And "3" was an interesting choice for a Bonus Track considering it did not make Rick's Hot AC chart, though it was a Mediabase and BDS top 40 Hot AC hit early this year. But these are the kind of Bonus Tracks I like. Even a few of the lower ranked songs from four or five years ago would be nice to hear every so often.
