American Top 40 (Hot AC) October 17-18, 2009

[Battle601]

After being featured as an extra for three weeks, it's only now that U2 enters the chart with "I'll Go Crazy..." All around, bad timing and I think it will only last for one week. A bit odd to see "Good Girls Go Bad" leave, seeing that it continues to chart on Hot AC. Meanwhile, Rob Thomas and his follow-up single "Someday" has the highest debut of the week. While a milestone has been reached for both "Gotta Be Somebody" and "Hot 'N Cold" with their runs having reached a full year.

"Say Hey (I Love You)" is the biggest mover of the week, up by 4 spots and into the Top 10 after being stuck at #12 for several weeks. "Come Back To Me" falls down 5 ranks for the week's biggest drop.
