Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 1/30/10

[musicfanpete]

Well, Rick's chart returns to some semblance of normality this week as we have two debuts and a relatively slow chart. Surprisingly, "Fireflies" by Owl City does not hit number one this week as Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" hangs onto the top spot for the 8th straight week. This means it's possible that Owl City may not make it to the top of Rick's chart after all, but we'll see how things go next week.

The country "craze" on adult pop radio continues as Lady Antebellum has this week's Sure Shot, while last week's Sure Shot by Orianthi does actually debut this week.

Finally, the three downtrending songs that reversed direction last week all hold steady this week. Coincidence? I'll let the members of this board decide that!

The website mentioned it was a Grammy-oriented show, so hopefully The Fray, Nickelback, Jason Mraz and Pink have won something recently. Otherwise, I don't know how the show would go on.

Yeah, no kidding!

The chart has now been updated to include the Bonus Tracks.

Thanks for posting!

I never listened to that show. It looks very similar to AT40. Is Rick Dees better than Ryan Seacrest, though?
