American Top 40 (Hot AC) - September 5-6, 2009

[Battle601]

Another slow chart as "Love Song" still lingers and "99 Times" finally enters. Unsurprisingly, "Lovegame" makes a quick exit. Following its high debut last week, "Smile" has the biggest gain and for the second week in a row, more than one song is tied for the biggest drop. “Say Hey (I Love You)” continues to climb in only its fourth week.

"Already Gone" should already be on the chart but is this week's extra track, while "Good Girls Go Bad" is the breakout and will likely make little to no impact. Hopefully starting next week, singles like "Chances" and "We Weren't Born To Follow" will be featured as breakouts, and it won't be long before they enter the chart.

Daughtry returns to #1 for the first time since last year with "No Surprise", the lead single off the band's sophomore album "Leave This Town", removing Pink's "Please Don't Leave Me" which enjoyed only a one-week stay in the top spot.

Not to be the bearer of bad news or anything, but its chances of getting on the AT40 are slim at the moment. Unless the song somehow rebounds, it will be quite a long wait, especially as it sits in the mid-30s, and even has a negative bullet (in single digits).

This is behind the likes of U2, Train, Howie Day, All-American Rejects ("I Wanna"), Blue October, Ingrid Michaelson, and even Miley Cyrus has managed to squeak past Madonna, all of them with positive bullets.

Two more weeks to go for Sara!
