AT40 (HOT AC) – JULY 24-25, 2010

Finally some major moves on the chart this week. Probably the biggest move comes from a song that not only overstayed its welcome in more ways than one, but also currently holds the longest run in the history of the AT40 (Hot AC) chart. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz ends its run after 113 weeks.

Also worth noting is that it was exactly one year ago this weekend, when "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles reached 96 weeks to surpass "You and Me" by Lifehouse for the longest run on the chart. "Love Song" went on to have a run of 103 weeks before finally retiring last September, and held the record until "I'm Yours" shattered it back in May.

With "I'm Yours" now out of the picture, "Second Chance" claims the longest run for a song on this week's chart and holds down the #40 spot once again. Not far behind is "Use Somebody".

We also see three new entries for the first time in a long while. Last week's extra track "Kandi" debuts at #39 to give One eskimO their first ever appearance on the AT40. "Bulletproof" by La Roux makes an impressive debut on the chart at #29. And rounding out the new songs is a return for Maroon 5 as their single "Misery" comes in at #24.

Jason Mraz all of the sudden dropping off from #33 seems a bit suspicious to me. I'm guessing they just finally got tired of it hanging around for so long as dropped it, which they should have done months ago.

A good thread going on the CHR board regarding all the movement on their chart this week, so it looks like the AT40 folks decided to perform a little "house cleaning" on both charts this week.

I'm disappointed. I've spent the past month and a half putting together a proposal to flip to the CHR version of the AT40 on my station based on the insane chart run of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," a song that is in GOLD in our library, and the week we make the flip, it falls off the chart.

I knew it was bound to happen, but I almost would have rather it stuck around for an extra month to 100% justify my proposal.

Don't worry. I think "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon or "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train will eventually 100% justify your proposal!

I was kind of thinking the same thing too. A lot of the songs that had lengthy runs (i.e. Love Song, Paralyzer, Bubbly) did not leave the chart in a dignified manner and were just simply dropped from any given position other than the bottom end of the chart.

Which leads me to my next question. Why don't they just drop the song off the chart once it falls below the top 20 considering they are going to eventually pull it off anyway?

Wow tealsunset! That puts his entire chart run into perspective! First who would have ever thought that you would need a chart that big to fit one song's run.

And second, amazing how it broke the entire pattern and just "disappeared" suddenly last week.

Nice recurrent rule AT40 has! The 113 week below #33 rule!

[MostInterestingManInTheWorld]

Although, it does appear the song took about a 20-28 drop a few months back, so I suppose it's technically possible it did a 33-41.

Not buying it.
