This week the top 6 remains the same, the first piece of movemt is The Script moving 9-7 with "For the First Time."

Jason Aldean scores his first AC top 10 hit in only his 5th week on the chart as "Don't You Wanna Stay" climbs 11-10. This marks Kellyt Clarkson's 5th appearance in the top 10. Her last top 10 was "Already Gone" which peaked at #3 in March 2010.

2 top 20 debuts this week. The first one is the debut appearance for country band The band Perry. Their former #1 country hit and current pop crossover rises 21-18 this week. Josh Groban also cracks the top 20 this week. 15 of his 16 AC hits have now cracked the top 20. "Hidden Away", the first single from the album peaked at #12 in January. "Higher Window" rises 22-20.

In the debut department, it's the grand return of Michael Bolton! The first single from his "duets" album is "I'm Not Ready" with Australian singer Delta Goodrem. This marks Michael's 29th top 30 hit. His last AC hit was his rendition of "When I Fall in Love" which peaked at #17 back in October 2003. (Darn, and I just did a 2003 flashback last week, but he had #1 on this week's so it works out!)

The second debut this week is the latest country crossover to the AC chart. Josh Gracin became known after finishing in 4th place during Season 2 of American Idol, and became the first country singer to emerge from the show. "Long Way to Go" is the first single from his 3rd album "Redemption" which drops September 6th. This is his first AC hit.

Bolton actually charted twice since 2003 with "Hear Me" (No. 20) with Jim Brickman and "Til The End Of Forever" (No. 32) both in 2005.

[johnm1120]

I have record of "Til The End Of Forever" which hit during the brief expanded AC chart period, but didn't have record of Hear Me, probably because he wasn't the main artist. So if you include those, it's his 31st top 40, and 30th top 30, but this is his first top 30 as a lead since "When I Fall in Love."
