Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 3/27/10

[musicfanpete]

A very slow chart this week, which was expected due to the recent slow chart movements on the official charts. Hopefully things start to move quicker as the big spring releases start making an impact.

Lifehouse holds at number one for the third week in a row with "Halfway Gone". After 21 weeks on the chart, OneRepublic has this weeks biggest jumper with "All The Right Moves".

And this week's Sure Shot goes to the thoroughly mediocre "Imma Be" by the Black Eyed Peas. ???

Finally, an interesting Bonus Track by Mariah Carey with her unsuccessful remake of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is".

I wonder when Pearl Jam's "Need To Breathe" will finally make this chart.

Apart from Mariah Carey, two very bleah extras.

[MostInterestingManInTheWorld]

Also, r/ Mariah, I know she turned 40 this month - I wonder if that's the reason she had an extra. If so, that's a curious choice - as overplayed as it was in its day, "Vision Of Love" would have been a far more appropriate selection.

I think Rick is confusing Kris Allen's chart position on HAC and CHR, haha.

Thanks for posting!!

This may be a slow chart, as musicfanpete stated at the beginning of his post, but it seems that Rick tends to get rid of older songs faster than AT40. Note that the number of songs older than 30 weeks can be counted on one hand. Sort of like Randy Jackson with his Hit List. Generally, he starts dropping songs a little faster once they go recurrent on the Mediabase chart.

^ Yeah, and I think he manipulates the chart a bit (sometime a lot, LOL!).
