Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 6/11/11

[musicfanpete]

It's a very active week this week as eight songs move up 6 or more spots, two songs post double digit drops, and one song exits the chart from inside the top 30. And we have a brand new number one song this week as Katy Perry scores her fourth consecutive number one song from her "Teenage Dream" album with "E.T."

Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" drops from #1 to #3 this week after seven weeks at the top. However, with her song still bulleted at #1 and holding a huge spin lead over the "E.T." on the Mediabase Hot AC chart, I would not be surprised if Adele at least attempts another push towards the top of Rick's chart before her run with "Rolling In The Deep" is over. But Maroon5, Andy Grammer and OneRepublic will have a lot to say about that before all is said and done.

Other highlights include a big drop and big jump by Bruno Mars. While his older hit "Grenade" drops from #7 to #17, his current hit "The Lazy Song" makes a not so lazy 12 spot jump from #18 to #6 as the biggest jumper of the week while putting this song into the race for #1 as well.

Finally Coldplay and Matt Nathanson return to the chart this week while newcomers Hot Chelle Rae occupy this week's Sure Shot spot with their latest hit "Tonight Tonight". And with Christina Perri's "Jar Of Hearts" exiting the chart this week we have no songs older than 28 weeks on the chart, which may the first time that has happened in the history of Rick's Hot AC chart.

Just updated this week's Bonus Tracks. What's with the Beyonce/Taylor Swift repeats in the same slots from last week?

And did I hear Rick say that "Love Story" was Taylor's first chart hit??!! Did he ever hear of a song called "Teardrops On My Guitar" which charted about two years before this?

I can understand Rick not remembering a detail here and there regarding chart history, but doesn't he have a staff that researches this stuff before they record the show? Amazing!
