I'm glad that "Telephone" will go recurrent. And 3 new acts debuted in the chart.

And looks like Train won't spend a year in the charts with "Hey Soul Sister". The Script might be the ones attaining that feat, with still 9 weeks to go.

How many weeks does "Need You Now" have on the chart?

25 weeks.

[95-7 Ben FM]

I think Neon Trees' song is "Animal", not "Animals".

[David]

It looks like songs are going recurrent now once they fall below #10, not #15.

OneRepublic:

Apologize
Stop And Stare
All The Right Moves
Secrets

What's missing?

[erzo01]

Did "Say (All I Need)" chart here?

[Hot AC Archiver]

^^ No. Remember, both versions of "Apologize" charted separately.

1. Apologize w/ Timbaland
2. Apologize solo
3. Stop and Stare
4. All the Right Moves
5. Secrets

Really? When did the non-Timbaland version chart? How high did it go? I don't have any record of this.

The song debuted on the 1/6/08 chart and spent 13 weeks on:

I guess this was Mediabase, not R-n-R - I have "Hate That I Love You" as #36 for 1/6/2008, "Our Time Now" as #38 for 1/13/2008, and so on. I had no idea that the solo version had ever charted.

Regardless, I'm only counting "Apologize" once, so as far as I'm concerned, OneRepublic has four hits.

[Hot AC Archiver]

Yes it's Mediabase. Mediabase is all I've followed since R&R was bought out.

[crazychick]

Am I right about these songs that are currently in the Top 20 going recurrent when the published chart is released tomorrow?

Hey Soul Sister
Alejandro
Breathe
Your Love Is My Drug

"Alejandro" wouldn't as it is still in the top 15 and well below 26 weeks on. The others most likely would, though "Breathe" just lost it's bullet, so they possibly might keep it around one more week. Ditto for "Your Love Is My Drug", though it's losing spins very rapidly now so this may be the end for this song if it's past 20 weeks.

"Hey, Soul Sister" is definitely out as it has been around for 40+ weeks and has fallen below the top 10.

Yes, that 's right. Alejandro will only be in week 12, Your Love is My Drug will be in week 14, so those are several weeks away from going recurrent. Breathe could be, it depends on if Mediabase thinks it's ready to go. Train won't make it to 50 weeks and will have to do with 49. :)

ok thanks for the info
