Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 4/9/11

[musicfanpete]

Rick's chart is up a bit early this week, so there's no need to wait any longer. Here it is.

This week, Cee Lo Green returns to the top spot for the second time in his career with his latest hit "Forget You!", his first solo number one song. Bruno Mars may join Christina Perri in having a long run at #2 without making it to the top spot as "Grenade" holds at #2 for the third week in a row.

Katy Perry finds herself in a familiar spot once again scoring the week's biggest jumper with her latest hit "E.T." Last week's high jumper "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga stalls out at #7 this week. Also, Sugarland's first top 20 pop hit holds at #20 for the second week in a row, while newcomer Andy Grammer scores his first top 20 with "Keep Your Head Up" up from #24 to #19.

Finally, three artists who have found themselves on the charts quite a bit over the last couple of years debut with new hits. OneRepublic, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Usher all debut this week.

"Hold It Against Me" I believe peaked at #20, so I'm thinking that's one of the quickest chart runs for a top 20 hit on this chart in a long time.

Those first four bonus tracks were probably the #1 songs from 3, 4, 2 and 1 year ago respectively, respecting the fact that "In My Head" was actually #1 CHR, not HAC, but we all know how well Dees distinguishes those facts.

I'll suggest "Money Grabber" will sneak onto the chart next week.

It could happen. I think "Money Grabber" has a better shot to make next week's chart than blow does.
