The top 4 remain the same this week. The Band Perry inches 6-5 this week giving the band their first top 5 hit.

David Cook's "The Last Goodbye" climbs 23-20 making David 4 for 4 on top 20 hits on the format. His last top 20 was "Come Back to Me" which peaked at #15 in September 2009.

Coldplay has the biggest move of the week as "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" climbs 28-23 in the song's 8th week.

The Script leads 2 debuts this week at #27. "Nothing" is the 2nd single from their current album to chart and their 3rd AC hit overall. "For the First Time" peaked at #5 and is currently sitting at #7.

Kelly Clarkson makes her solo return to the chart with the first single off her upcoming album "Stronger" which drops October 25th. "Mr. Know It All" debuts at #29 this week. This is Kelly's 12th appearance on the chart. Her duet with Jason Aldean "Don't You Wanna Stay" is currently sitting at #4. Her last solo appearance was "Already Gone" which peaked at #3 ion March 2010.

Be on the lookout, as there is potential to have 3 songs go recurrent next week. Richard Marx, Cee-Lo Green and Plain White Ts are all possibilities to make a little room next week for new songs, or probably re-entries. Will Selena Gomez get a 4th run on the chart?

^Thanks!

Yeah, 3 droppers next week!

Wow Kelly made a quick debut.... kinda like when Lady GaGa's "Born This Way" debuted the same week of single release on other formats. How did AC get this so quick?

[johnm1120]

Probably because the artist is popular on AC, some stations were willing to add it early, but also it doesn't take many spins to make this chart.

What will be the question will be how it does in the long run. Despite "Born This Way's" quick debut, it hit an early brick wall and only peaked at #22.

22 24 06 Hot Chelle Rae - Tonight Tonight (22)

oh my! as much as i love the song, i just cannot believe that this song can manage to chart here. what happen?

[areyoureadytojump]

4 Debuts!!!

10/1 chart:

Adult Contemporary

*** No. 1 *** "Rolling In The Deep" Adele
Greatest Gainer No. 13 "Someone Like You" Adele
Debut No. 24 "Let The Rain" Margo Rey
Debut No. 25 "For What It's Worth" Stevie Nicks
Debut No. 29 "Tell Me I'm Wrong" Justin Hines
Debut No. 30 "She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)" Roxette

[HolidayGuy]

Another example of the Billboard-Mediabase differences: Roxette isn't ranked on Mediabase's top 37.

Would be nice if AC radio played the songs at the bottom of th chart more than a few handful of times.

Gonna have some interesting stories in the commentary this week.

[HolidayGuy]

PEAZO, "Tonight Tonight" currently has 175 spins on Medibase's 7-Day-Rolling AC chart. It's currently on nine of the 90 AC stations- those nine stations are spinning it quite a bit. :)
