AT40 (HOT AC) - SEPTEMBER 18-19, 2010

Notables:
"Mine" has the highest debut of the week at #32. The song was never featured as a breakout or extra.
"Speakers" checks in at #40, marking the debut of Days Difference to the AT40. It started off as a breakout three weeks ago.
"Teenage Dream" is the week's biggest mover up 9 spots in its third week.
Both "This Afternoon" and "Bulletproof" fall hard losing 10 spots each.
Both "Say Hey (I Love You)" and "I Gotta Feeling are pushing towards a 60-week run.
"Cooler Than Me" enters the Top 10.

This also marks the first weekend without Kelly Clarkson on the chart. With "Already Gone" finally dropping, it ends her consecutive run of 84 weeks where she had at least one single on the chart, starting with "My Life Would Suck Without You" back in February 2009. Throughout that run, she had four singles.

"If It's Love" becomes the second #1 single for Train this year, knocking "California Girls" after eight weeks. It will be interesting to see whether they can hold on next week or if "Misery" will shorten their run at the top. Either way, hats off to Train for scoring two #1 singles from Save Me San Francisco. This joins "Hey, Soul Sister", "Calling All Angels" (My Private Nation) and "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" (title track), all of which reached #1.

Lady Gaga, Pink and Daughtry have also had very long runs in the Top 40.

Indeed. Especially Pink and Daughtry. Their consecutive runs have managed to stretch over two eras, going back to 2007.

Pink had "U + Ur Hand" enter the chart in January 2007, followed by "Who Knew" later that year. Both singles were off "I'm Not Dead" released originally back in 2005. As "Who Knew" was spending its final weeks on the chart in late 2008, the Funhouse era began spawning "So What", "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me" and "Glitter in the Air". What's interesting to note is that on the same week "Please Don't Leave Me" left the chart back in May, "Glitter in the Air" entered, essentially continuing her lengthy run on the chart.

Daughtry had "It's Not Over" debut back in January 2007, off their self-titled era which also spawned "Home", "Over You", "Feels Like Tonight" and "What About Now". The latter single from their previous era carried on long enough just as "No Surprise" entered the chart to mark the start of the "Leave This Town" era in May of last year, which has also included the singles "Life After You" and "September".

As for Lady GaGa, she was one week ahead of Kelly Clarkson's pace. "Just Dance" entered the chart in late January 2009 one week ahead of "My Life Would..." Since then, she has had at least one single every week on the AT40. Her least successful to date was "Lovegame" which appeared for only one week in August of last year. Throughout most of her run, she has had two or even three singles charting at the same time.

Nickelback and John Mayer have also showed some staying power in recent years. Nickelback have had at least one single on this chart every week since the start of the "Dark Horse" era nearly two years ago. It marks the second time that they have had a long run, following the "All The Right Reasons" era.
