Another week at number one for Kings Of Leon along with a debut by current American Idol winner Kris Allen, and the return of Creed to the countdown. Also, OneRepublic makes the "right move" with their latest hit "All The Right Moves", which is this week's biggest mover.

Just corrected the Sure Shot. :)

Wow, he actually played a new song as an extra.

I'm listening to the CHR version this week, where he leaves out the "up to" on annoying number of songs, including the high jumper. Did he mention that Owl City climbed 11?

And what is the highest jumping hit of 2009 so far?

About a month ago he played Shakira's "She Wolf" as a Bonus Track, so I guess he does feature a new track occasionally, though fairly rarely.

Don't know about Owl City as "Fireflies" climbed 6 spots on the Hot AC chart. I'm assuming you're talking about the CHR chart?

Don't know what the biggest jumper of the year is without going back to look at the chart, but I'm willing to bet it belongs to someone like Rob Thomas or John Mayer.

Oops, my error... for some reason I was thinking that "Fireflies" had actually debuted at 36 last week, which would have meant an 11 point jump. The 16 point move it made on AT40 would have to be close to a record, I'd think.

Which is another reason I wish Rick would include "LW" as part of his chart listing, but that probably would be asking too much.

As I mentioned above, I listened to the CHR version this week (I move around), and the worst sin occurred at #1 - he said that Billy Ray Cyrus had a #1 with "Achy Breaky Heart". Now, while that did go to #4 on Billboard, it only reached 27 CHR, neither of which is exactly #1.

Oh boy! I like Rick but he's always sloppy when it comes to chart facts. I know "Achy Breaky Heart" was a #1 country hit, so I'm sure that's what he meant. ;)

As far as the LW issue is concerned, that's why I post it the charts for everyone. Obviously they are posted on his website, but you can get the "Weeks on chart" and LW figures on my posts. And each chart gets added to the archive of posts on this web board.

Regarding big moves on AT40, while a very big move this week, Owl City's jump is nothing compared to Matchbox Twenty's jump a couple of years ago. "How Far We've Come" managed a move of 27 spots in one week from #35 to #8 in 2007 I believe! We probably won't see anything like that again for quite sometime. :)
