Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 8/15/09

[musicfanpete]

There's a brand new number one this week with Rob Thomas taking over the top spot on the countdown. It will be interesting to see if Pink and Daughtry follow in short order as has been the case on the Mediabase Hot AC chart the past two weeks.

As far as new artists go, The Ting Tings make their first appearance on the chart and Kate Voegele moves up to #34. Also, the Black Eyed Peas have the biggest mover and their first Hot AC top 20 hit with "I Gotta Feeling".

Hearing Rick play the samples in the plagarism suit between Ryan Tedder/Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson brought back memories of other famous music suits-like George Harrison having to pay money to creators of the old Chiffon's song He's So Fine and the guy who ripped off How Deep is Your Love by the Bee Gees-although in the later case, the case was thrown out.
