Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 7/31/10

[musicfanpete]

This week's highlights include the number one song spending the second of many weeks at the top, another big move for Sara Barellies, and perhaps the highest debut in the history Rick's Hot AC chart.

Since Katy and Snoop Dogg will most likely be holding down the number one spot for quite awhile, let's look at the other highlights of the week. The previous two Sure Shots debut this week as The Dirty Heads debut at #34 with "Lay Me Down", while Maroon 5 vaults in at #21 with "Misery". From my recollection without having looked back at my chart archive, I want to say that this is the highest debut in the history of Rick's Hot AC chart. It is definately the highest debut since Fall Out Boy debuted at #22 several years ago with "Sugar, We're Goin' Down". So "Misery" may very well be the new all-time high debut here.

For the second time in three weeks, Sara Barellies ties for the biggest mover on the countdown with "King Of Anything". This time she ties with (who else) Daughtry's "September". Conversely, Kris Allen has one of the biggest drops of the year as "Live While We're Dying" plummets 14 spots to #33.

Also, Rick continues to give lots of love to Angel Taylor and Kelly Clarkson as "Like You Do" by Taylor moves up to #14 and "All I Ever Wanted" continues a much slower decent than what has occurred on the other national charts.

Finally, Shontelle has this week's Sure Shot with "Impossible". Now we will see if one or both of the Hayley Williams songs show up next week, as Paramore's "The Only Exception" and B.o.B/Williams "Airplanes" both continue to rapidly climb the official Mediabase and BDS Hot AC charts and AT40.

No problem tim! I always find this chart far more entertaining than that "other" chart.
