Randy Jackson's Hit List 5/8/10

[musicfanpete]

Well it looks like Randy finally has updated his website with the most current chart. Therefore, I have posted this chart with the chart movements comprised of the previous three weeks since the last chart was posted. Because of this, the chart movements appear much larger than in reality. But it does make for a fun "old school" type of chart.

I have added seven weeks onto each song's Weeks on Chart column from the last chart I posted on March 30th. I also estimated the weeks for those songs that debuted after March 30th, so they should be pretty close to their actual chart run. Finally, I did not include this week's droppers since I did not have access to last week's chart.

I can't guarantee that I will be able to post next week's chart considering how erratic their website has been recently. But at least this chart is now caught up to the current week.

27. 29 TiK ToK - Ke$ha
30. 30 Smile - Uncle Kracker

Dropped:
#28: Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon

Of all the AC charts, I like this one best. Jackson tends to balance accuracy with freshness. The oldest song on the chart is "Smile" by Uncle Kracker, with 38 weeks on, as opposed to AT40 and "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, which is now close to completing its second year on the chart.
Yet there doesn't seem to be any kind of recurrent rule in place. The older songs just tend to fall faster (and not yo-yo up and down for weeks and weeks), but they don't get removed from the chart when they still have a lot of life left in them, such is the case with the Billboard chart. I don't think that 26/10 rule was necessary at all.

Thanks for posting the charts Hervard! I will double check the chart weeks and positions later tonight or this week.

Updated to include chart week corrections.

Interesting to see "Today Was A Fairytale" by Taylor Swift as one of this week's biggest jumpers considering it's rapidly dropping on the official charts. Therefore, look for this song to reverse directions within the next week or two.

Dropper-
Kings Of Leon: Sex On Fire (from #28, 23 weeks on)

Is there a reason why their website always posts two week old charts when their actual program carries the latest chart? Again I can't post these shows as I am usually not around to listen live online. At least I can dial up Rick's shows anytime I want.

[Hervard]

It's because they have blindfolded monkeys posting the charts on the website. ;)

(But seriously, I agree - if they can't post the correct chart, they might as well not even post it.)

I am listening to the show right now, so I'll try to remember to post the chart when it's over with.
