Falling off:

-- 11 26 Michael Bublé - Hollywood (6)
-- 29 20 Enrique Iglesias - I Like It (20)
-- 30 06 Sick Puppies - Maybe (27)


This week only the top 3 hold steady as there are a couple of flips in the top 10 this week. It's Bruno's 8th week at the top.

With 2 songs going recurrent this week, it allows for 3 debuts. Michael Bublé replaces himself on the chart with "Hollywood" getting purged and "Hold On" being the highest debut at #22. This is Michael's 12th AC hit.

The next debut is from current it girl Adele. The British singer has been getting a lot of good press lately for her album "21" resulting in the first single "Rolling in the Deep" to jump in at #28 this week. It's her 2nd AC hit. She peaked at #23 with "Chasing Pavements" in January 2009.

Finally, at #30 the award winning country duo Sugarland makes their debut appearance on the chart with "Stuck Like Glue." With this entry, it means 1/6th of the AC chart this week is by country acts.

Thanks!

It still boggles my mind that AC literally passed on Chasing Pavements. A #23 peak is almost a joke, the song couldn't have been more AC-friendly.

4/2 chart:

Adult Contemporary
*** No. 1 *** "Just The Way You Are" Bruno Mars
Greatest Gainer No. 4 "Firework" Katy Perry
Debut No. 28 "Downtown Train" Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Debut No. 30 "F**k You (Forget You)" Cee Lo Green

^With Katy Perry jumping to #4, maybe Train finally fell off the chart?

[johnm1120]

Hopefully Taylor didn't go 4-6

How is it that Sara Bareilles isn't on to "Uncharted" yet? Truly baffling.

I don't particularly care for the track; but as far as AC appeal goes, I agree. What's her track record like?

[areyoureadytojump]

Hey Soul Sister did fall off the AC chart this week.

[johnm1120]

Yup! Will have the full chart up soon.
