Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 5/22/10

[musicfanpete]

A busy week this week as three songs enter the countdown. Two Sure Shots make the countdown as "All For Love" by Serena Ryder does indeed make the countdown after being featured as a Sure Shot two weeks ago. Last week's Sure Shot by Rob Thomas also makes this week's chart along with newcomers B.O.B. & Bruno Mars with "Nothing On Me". And yes, this week's Sure Shot is indeed "Kandi" by One EskimO, which are both spelled "correctly".

The Script holds onto the number one spot for a third straight week with "Breakeven" while Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" is right on their heels.

And for the second week in a row, the week's biggest dropper resides in the #19 spot as "Heartbreak Warfare" by John Mayer takes that "honor".

That first segment had three very good songs, including the first time I've heard Serena Ryder - I hope she has a good chart future ahead of her. Whether or not that happens is another story.

The oldest song is now "Hey, Soul Sister" - I wonder how long it's run will be.

^ I think once Hey Soul Sister goes recurrent on the mediabase chart, it will be dropped from this chart.

Thanks for posting!!

"Hey, Soul Sister" is one of those few rare songs that actually reversed direction on the way down (outside of those three fluky jumps that occurred on the first chart of this year). It had dropped to #11 two weeks ago, but jumped back up to #10 last week and is there again this week. Since it's still #3 on Mediabase, look for this song to kind of hang around the lower portion of the top 10 for awhile, or at the very least it will slowly drift down the top 20 over the next month or two.

Yes, and I believe "Life After You" rebounded last month.

You are correct. It is still holding at #5 this week.

Also, I have updated the Bonus Tracks for this week. At least we have a couple of songs that haven't been played for a few months. :)
