Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 4/10/10

[musicfanpete]

Rick posted his chart a bit early this week, so here it is. :)

Lady Antebellum holds onto the top spot for the second week in a row with "Need You Now". Kelly Clarkson becomes the second artist in three weeks to claim the week's biggest jumper and biggest dropper. Also, the Barenaked Ladies enter the top 20 for the first time in years with their latest hit "You Run Away".

And for the third time this year, the previous week's Sure Shot fails to debut, as "One Day" by Matisyahu falls short of the chart this week. Perhaps it will show up later, but for now he joins Owl City and Adam Lambert as the other artists who did not debut the week after Sure Shot status. Lambert is the only artist who eventually did debut as "Whataya Want From Me" moves up to #11 this week.

One other trend we are seeing more this year are songs rebounding on the way down the chart. This week, Kris Allen moves back up one spot to #9 with "Live Like We're Dying" after falling the last several weeks.

And just as a side note, the CHR version of Rick's chart actually has a debut at #40 this week with the new Timbaland/Katy Perry (no joke!) hit "If We Ever Meet Again". Maybe some week down the line we will see a #40 debut again on his Hot AC chart.

This is the second straight week a song has debuted at #40 on the CHR version. Last week it was Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet".

The last time Barenaked Ladies were in the top 20 was in 2004 with "Testing 1,2,3".

Helluva tumble for "Already Gone", although I'm guessing it's so it matches the CHR chart.

Glad to see Pearl Jam finally make this chart.

Killer bonus tracks

^ LOL, what? Haven't Met You Yet is on the CHR version of this chart. It hasn't even entered the top 40 on the mediabase chart.

I didn't know why Live Like We're Dying was moving down here, while it was still moving up on mediabase. It peaked last week, I think, at #3. Funny thing that it was moving up on the CHR version.

Thanks for posting!!

I also noticed the same thing with "If You Only Knew" by Shinedown. It peaked at #17 here compared with a #12 peak on Mediabase. And it started dropping here while still at its peak on Mediabase.

I don't know if his chart is based on requests, affiliate airplay, his own "dartboard" chart, or a combination of all three of these factors, but it's interesting comparing his chart with the official charts. That's what makes his chart far more interesting than the AT40 Hot AC chart. :)
