American Top 40 (Hot AC) - November 21-22, 2009

[Battle601]

Probably for as long as I've been listening to the AT40 over the last two years, I have never come across a weekly edition that devoted nearly all of its segments to one subject, namely the New Moon franchise. Luckily, that did not get in the way of the music, which included a debut for Kris Allen, the latest American Idol winner and a return to the chart for Lifehouse, as "Halfway Gone" is the highest entry of the week.

Even more amazing is the quick climb for "Fireflies" which is already near the Top 10 after only three weeks.

Just a head's up: Taylor Swift will be filling in for Ryan as guest host on Thanksgiving weekend (November 28-29, 2009)

This actually looks like a normal chart this week. That is the older songs are mostly all down and many newer songs made sizable jumps. How about that?!
