American Top 40 (HOT AC) - January 30-31, 2010

[Battle601]

Unlike last week's chart, we see some major movement this week.

Although it's the only debut this week, "Bad Romance" likely marks the highest debut ever for Lady GaGa on the AT40 (Hot AC) chart. So far, her first five singles have charted on both CHR and Hot AC.

Meanwhile, a song that had one of the highest debuts in recent months takes a major drop, as "We Weren't Born To Follow" moves down 17 spots. "Fifteen" advances 13 spots to earn this week's biggest move. "Two Is Better Than One", "Cowboy Casanova", "Breakeven" and "Haven't Met You Yet" also have a steady climb. For the first time in what seems like forever, "I'm Yours" moves down a number of spots since being below the Top 20.

And "Fireflies" takes over the #1 spot, marking the first new song to reach the top this year, following the eight-week run enjoyed by "Already Gone", which started back last December. Owl City joins a growing list of acts to have reached #1 with their first-ever song on the AT40.

For the 4th week in a row, WKDD in Akron has replayed a mix of the January 9/10 show and the January 3/4 decade-end show. The first two hours are January 9/10, but Hours 3 & 4 are a nice mix of segments from both shows. It's quite the entertaining listen. Will they go for 5 weeks?
