Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 2/26/11

[musicfanpete]

We have a new "winning" song just in time for Oscar's week this week as "Marry Me" by Train takes over the top spot. This is familar territory for Train as this is the just the latest in a whole bunch of number one hits for this group. Look for Christina Perri to try to slip in for her first number one hit before Pink's "Perfect" makes it's run to the top in a couple of weeks.

This week we have debuts by Far East Movement with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Colbie Caillat. And no shock that Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" is this week's Sure Shot, which is about as "sure" a Sure Shot as we will see all year. Look for a very high debut next week, one that could challange the #20 debut of Pink's "Perfect" just a few weeks ago.

Finally the first solo hit by Cee Lo Green, "Forget You!" makes this week's biggest jump, up from #32 to #23.

Sorry. Just got around to posting this week's Bonus Tracks. There are only five this week as Rick did not play last year's number one song for this week. The reason being is that he used it to intro Train's latest number one hit "Marry Me" by saying Train also hit number one on the same weekend last year with "Hey, Soul Sister". So that is why it was not played in full as a Bonus Track this week.
