Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 2/27/10

[musicfanpete]

Rick had his chart up a bit early this week, so here it is. Train takes over the top spot this week in it's 23rd week with "Hey, Soul Sister", their first number one song since "Calling All Angels" ruled the charts over half a decade ago. Lady Antebellum and The Fray have this week's two biggest movers. And for the third week in a row we have a song that drops off the chart from a high position as "Come On" by Green River Ordinance drops off the chart from #26. This leaves Rob Thomas and Beyonce at the bottom of the chart for at least the third week in a row!

Didn't "Calling All Angels" also go to #1? I know it did on the R-n-R Hot AC chart, but I wasn't following Rick during 2003, so it's possible it missed the mark on his chart.

And it looks like we're back to some more predictable extras, although "It's My Life" is at least somewhat different.

And not to nitpick, but shouldn't "Syndicate" also get greened? At least the convention for high jumpers isn't blue, although it is for debuts. Can you imagine if you forgot to indicate Melissa Etheridge as a debut?

You are correct on both counts. Sorry, it was after midnight when I posted this, so I guess I wasn't thinking too clearly at that hour. I have modified the chart to reflect both corrections.

I basically chose the colors based on how others highlight the AT40 chart. So no rhyme or reason for the color choices.

Thanks again tim for spotting the errors. :)

No worries. I'm just hoping that someday, somehow, there will be the need for the following sentence:

"I blue Melissa Etheridge".

Ha ha! Very good!

I just realized the oldest songs on this chart have been on for (only) 42 weeks. Use Somebody, which went recurrent on the mediabase chart, slipped from #12 to #21. Interesting.

Thanks for posting!!
