Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 3/5/11

[musicfanpete]

With a new week upon us, Train finds themselves in their familiar number one spot for the second week in a row with their fifth number one hit, "Marry Me". Christina Perri should have one last shot at the top next week with "Jar Of Hearts". She would be advised to make it next week with the fast moving "Perfect" by Pink right behind her.

Speaking of fast movers, Lady Gaga easily has this year's highest debut at #24 with "Express Yourself"........I mean "Born This Way"! The similarities between the two songs could not have been illustrated any better by Rick last week. Nonetheless, Lady Gaga should find herself celebrating one of the biggest moves of the year next week at this time.

Maroon 5 has this week's other debut (both within the top 30) at #30 with their latest hit, "Never Gonna Leave This Bed".

Both Cee-Lo Green and OneRepublic have this week's biggest jumper and dropper, respectively for the second week in a row, though Avril Lavigne joins the biggest jumper club of 5 spots tied with Cee Lo with her latest hit, "What The Hell".

When was the last time a song debuted higher on this chart?

Last November Pink's "Raise Your Glass" debuted at #20 on the November 6th chart. Also, Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" debuted at #22 sometime in 2006.

Despite those higher debuts, Lady Gaga still had a very impressive debut this week.

I guess I'm losing my memory - I should have known Pink came in high not too long ago.

I'm listening to the CHR version right now, and this will be the first time I'll have heard "Born This Way".

Hope you enjoyed BTW as it sounds like so much like "Express Yourself" you won't be able to tell the difference!

I don't know - I've been told that so many times, I guess I was a little underwhelmed by the comparison when I finally heard it.
