Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 4/2/11

[musicfanpete]

Now that the Pulse Music Board is back to normal today, it's time for this week's edition of the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40.

Pink holds onto the top spot for the fourth week in a row with "Perfect", a song that may sit there for awhile. However, Bruno Mars and Cee Lo Green are sure to challange for the top spot in coming weeks, so there's always the possibility of a new number one song as early as next week.

It's a relatively slow week this week, though Lady Gaga regains some momentum as she has this week's biggest jumping song with "Born This Way", up from #13 to #7.

And three new songs make their first appearances on Rick's chart as the latest hits by Stone Sour, Katy Perry and newcomer Grace Potter & The Nocturnals all debut this week.

It'll be interesting to see if "Born This Way" progresses any further.. it seems to have stalled on the Mediabase charts.

I could see #6 or #5, as Rick's charts have been a bit ahead of Mediabase lately. But probably not much more than #5.

Sorry for the delay, but I did update the Bonus Tracks for this past week (only five this week). It did not take too long for Rick to play "Hey, Soul Sister" as a recurrent.

Even worse though was Rick stating that "Live Like We're Dying" was number one a year ago today! Uhhh, according to who's chart Rick?! That song never made it to #1 on Rick's chart, or any chart that I know of.

Nice accuracy by Rick as always!
