I know this has gone for official play at Hot AC, but has it at AC/ It's currently at the bottom of the Mediabase AC top 40. After "Rolling in the Deep's" success, I'd think AC would give this a decent reception.

#36 this week
Up 2 plays.
The AC chart is a joke.

^Indeed- but this track still should be getting a lot more play. But, RITD is still gaining at the format, so maybe that's why SLY isn't taking off yet. Does AC usually give heavy simultaneous play to two tracks by the same act? Maybe not, as it's late to the party with a number of tracks.

Keep in mind that "Rolling in the Deep" is still at #1 and by a margin of over 400 spins. Typically the followup to any massive hit on AC will initially face a steep uphill battle, as the format is very slow to drop songs. This tends to be the case especially if it's an artist who is less established.
I do think "Someone Like You" will eventually be a huge AC hit, but not until November or December. "Rolling in the Deep" is going to need to have dropped significantly first, and that's unlikely to happen anytime soon. I don't ever remember an artist occupying 2 spots in the AC top 5 before, even the ones with dozens of hits under their belts.

LOL, j7- I scrolled the chart a couple of times and must have overlooked it. Yah, mega- AC is very slow to pick up current tracks. SLY probably will hit No. 1 at the format in January.

This is roughly 700 spins out of No. 1 right now- will it hit the top before year's end, or will a new holiday track steal its thunder?

Christmas is still 9 weeks from Monday, so even when some AC stations flip to all Christmas sometime next month, this song should still be on the rise, and especially since 'Rolling In The Deep' isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I'm wondering if this song will replace 'Rolling In The Deep' at #1. If so Adele would set a new record for an artist having back to back #1s (Well at least from 96-present). Even if 'If Die Young' were to hit the top spot for a week or two, SLY would still set the record for shortest time between #1s on the AC chart.
Right now the shortests amount of time between #1s is 10 weeks, set way back in 1998 by Celine Dion when 'To Love You More' hit #1 10 weeks after 'My Heart Will Go On' was #1. Incidentelly the shortest time before that was 13 weeks between 'Because You Loved Me' and 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now.'
I'm sure there is a shorter time between #1s on Billboards charts.
Just for fun. On The HOT AC charts the shortest time between #1s is 4 weeks. A tie set by Elton John's 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' and 'The Circle of Life' as well as Pink's 'Raise You Glass' and 'F**kin' Perfect.' Daughtry replaced themselves at #1 in 6 weeks, and Katy Perry replaced herself at #1 in 7 weeks.
I wonder if Adele will help the AC chart move towards a faster move to single rate. I think Katy Perry, Train and Lady Gaga have already helped to a degree.

Bruno Mars wasn't able to do that. Grenade has already gone recurrent, and it looks like now The Lazy Song will go recurrent before JTWYA.

I just noticed that Adele has the top two songs on AC this week. "Someone Like You" is only 21 spins away from "Rolling In The Deep", and so she should replace herself at #1 next week. Pretty impressive.

This song will probably be on the AC chart for the next 5 years.

I don't ever remember an artist occupying 2 spots in the AC top 5 before, even the ones with dozens of hits under their belts. Looks like I almost got the first part of that right, but completely bombed on the second part. "Rolling in the Deep" has lost over 400 spins since its peak, but I figured it would need to fall all the way out of the top 5 before "Someone Like You" had a shot at the top spot. Very impressive to see one artist occupy the top two spots on AC. Of course, now whatever she releases next from 21 is really going to get hosed on AC.

The whole Medibase AC and Hot AC top 10 is bulletless at the moment- this should climb to No. 1 on Billboard's AC chart next week, yes? it's losing less than The Band Perry's track.
