How many weeks has "Down" spent in Mediabase? In BDS, it's already on its 20th week based on the most recently published chart there.

19 weeks, so it will go recurrent in 2 weeks.

Since the BDS chart has different recurrent rules than Mediabase, this allows songs to drop off faster. Therefore, this probably allowed "Down" to debut a week earlier there than on Mediabase, and hence will drop off the BDS chart a week earlier as well.

Could you do the same for triple A too?

[webdude]

Thank you Hot AC Guru for you great job! I'm wondering if I can find somewhere the Recurrents chart (Top40, or maybe Top50 Recurrents). Is there someone publishing it?

Sorry, I don't have any archived data for AAA. Besides, I barely have time to keep up with Hot AC.

Thanks! :) You can get some recurrent information by signing up for AllAccess. You can view a chart made up of currents and recurrents. Also, BDS shows their top 20 recurrents on their chart: charts.bdsradio.com/bdsradiocharts/charts.aspx?formatid=10
