Off the chart:
Adam Lambert-Whatya Want From Me (from #38, 58 weeks on chart)

Use Somebody is this weeks fastest mover in its 95th week.

Interesting note Ryan brought up is that there has been a song from an American Idol finalist on this chart every week for the past 6 1/2 years. This streak is in jeopardy as September is at #37 with no other song on the chart, nor close to charting.

That is crazy that the oldest song on the chart is the week's biggest mover. :o

I'm telling you, they have got to establish some sort of recurrent rule, or "sliding scale" type of chart that would eliminate chart ranking based on recurrent airplay. The Rick Dees chart would NEVER permit an old song to move up like that!

As of this weekend, Virgin Radio 96 (CJFM Montreal) joins the list of stations that previously aired the Hot AC edition of the AT40 and have switched over to the CHR edition of the chart.

Not only does this correspond with the station's gradual transition to a more CHR-oriented playlist in the past few months, but it also marks a return to that edition for the first time since 2004-2005.

CJFM added AT40 to their programming schedule around the same time that Ryan Seacrest made his hosting debut in January 2004.
