Sorry for the delay, but I had some errands to take care of today, plus I wanted to double check the validity of this chart!
In probably the strangest week in Rick Dees chart history, Michael Franti & Spearhead has the biggest mover of the week....after having the biggest drop last week!!! :o Rick is attributing this to an increase in downloads, sales and requests. I'm not sure if this is the real reason or he just had an active week at the "dartboard" this week, but this is confirmed by Rick himself on his program.
Also reversing directions this week is the Black Eyed Peas as "I Gotta Feeling" moves back up 2 spots to #10, and "Chances" by Five For Fighting moves back up 3 spots to #31. As I have noted before in a prior thread, very rarely, if ever do songs reverse direction on the way down the Rick Dees charts, although some have on the way up. So to have three songs in one week pull off this feat is something rare indeed!
To make a strange week even stranger, last week's Sure Shot did not chart, making Adam Lambert one of the few artists who did not chart after being featured as a Sure Shot! This week's Sure Shot by Orianthi will probably not repeat this rarity though as "According To You" has been a very quick mover up the official Mediabase and BDS charts.
Finally, to put a capper on this historic week in Rick Dees chart history, this is the first week in a long time where no new songs enter his chart! Now I was thinking that Rich may have switched sources for his chart. However, after thinking this over for awhile, I came to the conclusion that that would not be the reason for this week's "supernatural" activity as the bottom six songs remain parked in place. So I guess Rick just wanted to shake things up and see if people would notice!
Anyway, enjoy this week Rick Dees fans since we probably won't see another like this for quite awhile!
