I realize that Ryan Seacrest is the tool to end all tools, but this is pushing it.

I'm happy Hedley got another week on AT40.

Jesse McCartney's Shake was an extra? Did that even get HAC play?

[Devin]

^ I think the extras are the same for CHR and HAC AT40s usually. That's probably why.

[ericNY2002]

Dino is right, both shows basically share the same extras now except for breakouts and extras that were breakouts a week or 2 ago.

Its sad but it seems the Hot AC show is basically just thrown together quickly now. Ironically the show is probably on the most stations its ever been on since On Air started (stations that picked up ON Air get AT40 on weekends) and AT20 ended. Back when I started listening to this show in early 05 (had to really look to find it), the Hot AC version actually had its own Optional extras with Ryan talking about its chart peak and such.

As for the chart, we should get a 3-4 song debut week soon. ****in Perfect, Little Lion Man, and possibly Back to December could debut next week. We are due for a catchup week of sorts on the show.

Well you'll be happy to know that Hedley inches up to #26 on the Rick Dees Hot AC chart. While I don't expect this song to move up much farther, at least this should give them a few more weeks on his chart.

Yeah, I remember that. Years ago when I heard the HAC version, "World On Fire" by Sarah McLachlan was an optional and I'm certain that wasn't played on CHR.

Thanks for posting, Eric, but you missed Cooler Than Me at 31, down from 29 last week. Unfortunately, my station did not play Kelly. :'(

oops, thank you tealsunset for pointing that out
