American Top 40 (Hot AC) - December 19-20, 2009

[Battle601]

**FINAL CHART FOR 2009**

Judd Apatow fills in for Ryan this week as guest host.

With the charts being frozen over the next two weeks and AT40 planning a couple of specials, all of the songs listed on this week's chart will remain in the same ranks for the following two weeks (Dec. 26/27 and Jan. 2/3). The number of weeks (Wks) will continue to be counted while the charts are frozen so at the very least, each song listed will have two weeks added on to their total runs. That being said, "Viva La Vida" is guaranteed to reach 80 weeks and "I'm Yours" will hit 85 weeks.

The first regular weekly chart for 2010 will resume on the weekend of Jan. 9/10.

"Sex On Fire" is the week's only new entry and the last one for 2009, giving Kings of Leon their second song on the AT40, following "Use Somebody". Closing out the year as this week's fastest mover is "Life After You", up 12 ranks in its second week on the chart while "Her Diamonds" falls down 6 for the week's biggest drop.

Last but not least, "Already Gone" continues its run at #1 and will remain there at least through the first weekend of the new year.

I like the Rick Dees chart better, but I like the extras Ryan plays better than the ones Rick plays on his show. Nice to see Ryan playing some of the "lower" charting songs of the year that will most likely not be on his year-end show next week. These were all great songs even if none of them made the top 10.
