"Love Song" continues its run on the AT40 - because apparently 100 weeks isn't enough to warrant its retirement. 
In that case, it's only three weeks shy of reaching yet another milestone - a full run totalling two years!
Uncle Kracker has this week's highest entry as his single "Smile" debuts at #33, marking his first song on the AT40 since 2004. Kelly Clarkson's "I Do Not Hook Up" becomes "Already Gone" as the latter single is this week's breakout, essentially replacing the former.
For the second straight time in three weeks, "Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti & Spearhead is this week's fastest gainer. "Battlefield" also has a strong gain in its second week on the countdown.
The #20s continue to be a "slow zone" for recurring songs that keep shifting up and down - songs like "Hot N Cold", "Shattered" and "Viva La Vida" have barely moved no more than four positions either way for about more than a month now.
The aforementioned "Love Song" is one of four songs tied for the biggest drop this week, along with "1,2,3,4", "Gotta Be Somebody" and "The Climb" which move down four spots each.
And finally, for the last weekend of August, "Please Don't Leave Me" unseats "Her Diamonds" from the #1 spot after two weeks. This makes Pink the only artist this year to have two songs reach #1 on the AT40, and it is the third single in a row off her recent album "Funhouse" to reach the top spot on the chart.
