I think 2009 has seen more songs at #1 than any other year so far this decade.

Not yet. There have been eight #1s this year so far. Every year back to 2006 has also seen eight #1s.

But 2001 had ten #1s. Starting with 1/12/01:
"If You're Gone", 9 weeks
"Again", 2 weeks
"Thank You", 7 weeks
"Follow Me", 5 weeks
"Hanging By a Moment", 5 weeks
"Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)", 7 weeks
"When It's Over", 2 weeks
"Drops of Jupiter" (again), 3 weeks
"Hanging By a Moment" (again), 1 week
"Only Time", 4 weeks
"Superman (It's Not Easy)", 4 weeks
"Wherever You Will Go", 1 week (last chart of 2001)

I updated the thread of all HAC #1s through 9/6/09. My last post has all of this decade together. The year with the most so far this decade has been 2001 with 10. We're currently 1 ahead of where 2001 was at the first week of September.

Wow @ "Boom Boom Pow" spending its 20th week in Hot AC, without even (or barely) touching Top 25.

I can't find any threads in Hot AC forum to post these and I reckon it's too premature to start threads for these, but 2 tracks on the verge of entering Top 50 are "Paparazzi" (121 spins as of this morning) and "Fireflies" (119).

Without doing the research, I'd suggest that Enrique Iglesias' "Escape" might hold the record for lowest peak with a 20 week run...

[Hot AC Archiver]

"Not Ready to Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks spent 21 weeks on the chart and never went higher than #32.
"Can't Stop Loving You"-Phil Collins, "The Way You Move"-OutKast, and as Halfway noted above, "Escape" by Enrique Iglesias spent 20 weeks on the chart and peaked at #32.

Other interesting runs: "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne peaked at #21 but spent 24 weeks on. "I'll Stand by You" by the Pretenders had 2 runs for a total of 29 weeks on the chart, but never peaked higher than #20.
