American top 40 (Hot AC) August 20-21, 2011

[ericNY2002]

Rare 4 debut week. Breakeven finally leaves after 92 weeks. Use Somebody ties I'm Yours for the longest chart run this week as well. History could be made on 2 fronts next week, as Use Somebody should break the record for the longest chart run and there very well could be 2 songs at 100 weeks or more on the chart for the first time ever as well if Hey, Soul Sister stays in the top 40.

Wow! The same thing happened on the Rick Dees Hot AC chart this week, four debuts, with the Script making the highest debut, but all the way at #21. Maybe these charts minus the recurrents on AT40 aren't as different as we thought!

At least AT40 got rid of one of those near two year songs!

"Breakeven" is the sixth longest running song on Ryan's era of the AT40 HAC chart. Like "Use Somebody," "I'm Yours" fell to 33 in its 113th week on the chart; then was purged the following week. So I'm curious to see if this pattern means "Use Somebody" will finally skeddadle next week?

1. "I'm Yours" 113
1. "Use Somebody" 113
3. "Love Song" 103
4. "Hey, Soul Sister" 99
5. "You and Me" 95
6. "Breakeven" 92
7. "Paralyzer" 88
8. "Bubbly" 87
9. "I Gotta Feeling" 82
10. "Viva La Vida" 82
