Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 11/7/09

[musicfanpete]

Not a lot of changes this week on the chart, but John Mayer has this week's biggest mover with "Who Knows". And as expected last week, both Lady Gaga and Owl City debut this week with their latest hits.

And a rarity for Rob Thomas this week. While he has a sizeable jump with his latest hit "Someday", he also has this week's biggest dropper with "Her Diamonds"!

"Gives You Hell" is now the longest-running song on this chart, with 44 weeks. SIX songs on American Top 40 exceed that, often by a large amount.

Exactly why I like Rick's chart a lot more!

I'm up to #36 right now - the first break had no commercials. Hope there aren't any the rest of the way!

There were a few commercials, but the number has been greatly reduced from a couple of weeks ago.

Great to see Kris as sure shot. Do they play the entire song?

Up to #30 now, and the last two breaks have had one commercial each. Definitely an improvement, both in lesser quantity and slightly better quality.

And so far there have been no dead segues... I don't expect that to continue, though.
