Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 5/1/10

[musicfanpete]

There are several highlights of note on Rick's chart this week. Lady Antebellum holds onto the top spot for the fifth week in a row with "Need You Now". There are two big movers this week with Nickelback's very "Def Leppard" inspired "This Afternoon" moving up six spots to #25, while newcomer Jason Derulo moves up eight spots to #30 with "In My Head".

Adam Lambert becomes the latest American Idol finalist to score a top ten hit as "Whataya Want From Me" jumps two spots to #9.

Also, Rihanna makes her first chart appearance since her infamous dust up with Chris Brown with the very appropriately titled "Rude Boy" at #38.

And newcomer VV Brown enters the countdown at #36 with "Shark In The Water", while we say goodbye to "Fireflies" by Owl City and thankfully "Imma Be" by the Black Eyed Peas!

Finally, Rick's first two Bonus Tracks consist of the previous years of number one songs on this date. Of course by that we mean the number one songs on his CHR chart, not the Hot AC chart! An interesting choice for his third Bonus Track though as Rick features "Sometime Around Midnight", the recent chart hit by Airborne Toxic Event.

And I don't believe "Pocketful Of Sunshine" reached #1 on his CHR chart either, although it got close.

"Sometime Around Midnight" - definitely a bold choice by this show's standards.

Imma Be dropped off from the CHR chart before the HAC one? LOL.

RE bonus tracks: Maybe he played the same bonus tracks on both charts this weekend.

Thanks for posting!!
