Great chart as always!

Quick question. Are you adjusting your weekly song spin totals based on recurrent airplay, or just adding each station's "raw" spin total?

[atlantaboy]

^Hey thanks man!

Those are raw spin totals - I left in MGMT and Metric, cause they're basically "new" on Hot AC, even though they charted on Alternative two years ago (and even some of the Alt. stations on the panel are playing them for the first time) - I wasn't sure about Dirty Heads, but I left it in just cause a lot of the Modern ACs are playing it for the first time

I didn't include clear recurrents though, like Breakeven, King Of Anything, Hey Soul Sister, Use Somebody, Sex On Fire, and Uprising

If anything starts to stick around excessively long (like All In), I was thinking about dropping it when it falls below 200 spins

^ How about just use that until your chart lasts 20 weeks then introduce recurrent rules.. like anything that falls below #10 and is on the chart for more than 52 wks, anything that falls below #20 and is on the chart for more than 20 wks.

[atlantaboy]

^Yeah, the 20/20 rule sounds good once I can use it (since that's what the real charts use anyway)

The 200 spins rule sounds good in that a song won't drop off as far as when using the #10/26 rule or #15/20 rule. That would make the chart move more "naturally", though it is your chart and you can do what you want.
