Happy New Year! This weekend marks the first regular weekly chart for 2010. New year, new chart and again, more or less the same old...so here's a new year's resolution to keep in mind:
For the AT40 (Hot AC), view the chart at your own risk and expect the unexpected. No matter how (choose whatever adjective) it is to anybody who views this. You've been warned. If you agree, you may proceed. LOL ;)
Helping to kick off the new year (and perhaps new decade) are several entries from familiar artists. Creed returns to the AT40 with "Rain", marking their first time on the chart since 2002. We also see the return of Carrie Underwood, as "Cowboy Casanova" makes a fast entry. Her last AT40 hit was "Before He Cheats" which charted in 2007. And finally, it didn't take long for John Mayer to return as "Heartbreak Warfare" has one of the highest debuts in recent months, short of landing in the Top 20.
With a new year, one would expect a major clean up, with several songs that have been on way too long to finally drop off. Of all the songs on this chart, how does "Viva La Vida" (so 2008) somehow remain here in 2010? All this even after the holiday chart freeze. "Hot N Cold" still continues to bounce up and down the chart, and we all know that there's nothing to stop "I'm Yours" from leaving the charts anytime soon - it could even surpass the record set by "Love Song" at the rate it continues to move. "Shattered (Turn The Car Around)" was the only song to leave after a lengthy run that lasted for 74 weeks.
Another song that has dropped off is "Chances". During its previous appearance on the chart, it was at #19, which would make it the first time in recent years that we've seen a song simply drop from quite a high rank on the chart, especially inside the Top 20. If anyone can recall this happening in AT40 (Hot AC) history, I'm interested to know.
AT40 must really like Taylor Swift enough to feature her on both of this week's breakouts for "Fifteen" and "Two Is Better Than One" (in a feature collaboration with Boys Like Girls). Both "Life After You" and "If You Only Knew" are the biggest movers for the first countdown of 2010. Other big movers include "Breakeven", "Sex On Fire", "Haven't Met You Yet" and "Live Like We're Dying". Not so lucky is "Waking Up in Vegas". Also taking a tumble are "Party in the USA", "Never Say Never" and "We Weren't Born to Follow".
The total weekly runs for each song on the chart have 3 weeks added on and not just 1. While the charts were frozen over the past couple of weeks, all songs stayed in the same rank from the last regular chart of 2009 but their weekly runs were still being counted. Songs that have fallen off the chart are added by 2 weeks.
And even the holiday chart freeze was not enough to stop Kelly Clarkson's run at #1 as "Already Gone" reaches 6 consecutive weeks.
Okay, on to the chart. Next week's posting won't be as lengthy as this one.
