Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 8/21/10

[musicfanpete]

In a major surprise this week, Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg drop out of the top spot after just four weeks with "California Gurls" despite the fact that this song remains entrenched at the top of every other major countdown this week. Taking their place is John Mayer and Taylor Swift with "Half Of My Heart", this being Mayer's first song to hit the top after a couple of close calls with his previous hits.

Otherwise, the remainder of Rick's chart resembles a typical AT40 chart, though ironically AT40 had one of it's most active weeks of the year this week! The two "big" movers this week are Paramore's "The Only Exception" and Jack Johnson's "You And Your Heart", moving up and down five spots respectively.

The Plain White T's occupy this week's Sure Shot with "Rhythm Of Love". Look for Katy Perry to possibly occupy that spot next week with her latest hit "Teenage Dream". Also, there are no new entries in the top 10 or top 20 this week, with just one debut in the top 40. That being Uncle Kracker and Kid Rock's "Good To Be Me".

I'm holding off commenting until I listen to this weekend.

Ok, I'm up to #5 now. Certainly the bonus tracks were better, although I could have gone without the gut-wrenching tune that was played between 23 and 22.

You weren't kidding! Some great ones this week, including one that did not even chart on the Hot AC countdown. Sounds like he decided to play all CHR hits this week, but I'm not complaining except for that afforementioned song.

Have now updated the chart to include the Bonus Tracks.

By the way, a couple of weeks ago we were talking about Hayleys Mills and Williams. I don't know if you watch AMC's Mad Men, but this week's episode had a Hayley Mills reference.

Oh great! Let's not confuse Rick any further regarding this!
