It's a busy week this week as four new songs debut on Rick's chart, and a new song takes over the top spot. Once again, Train scores yet another number one song as their latest hit "Drive By" pushes Kelly Clarkson down to #2 after a five week run at the top. This week's chart plays "catch up" a bit as the first hit by Fun, "We Are Young" is the week's biggest jumper for the third time in the last five weeks, jumping up 7 spots to #6. Also contributing to this week's shakeup, Taylor Swift has the highest debut of the year so far with her big hit from the mega box office hit "Hunger Games" with her latest, "Eyes Open", debuting this week at #20.
Some other chart oddities this week include a huge dropper off the chart, and a song that just popped in for a week last week. Snow Patrol plunges off the chart all the way from #21 with "Coming Out Of The Dark", reflecting a very rapid drop off the Mediabase Hot AC chart as well. "International Love" by Pitbull and Chris Brown falls off the chart after just one week on, and after a pretty high debut last week to boot. This becomes the first song since Madonna's "Celebration" a couple of years ago to spend just one week on the chart.
Also, Jason Mraz bounces back up to a new peak this week after dropping to #7 last week. This week he breaks into the top 5 as "I Won't Give Up" lives up to its name, moving up 2 spots to #5.
Finally, the world lost a legend in the music business this week as host and TV producer Dick Clark passed away from a heart attack at the age of 82. Amongst the many people he influenced was Rick Dees. I'm not sure if he mentions his passing on his show this week as it may have been recorded prior to that, and I haven't listened to the show yet. But there are many tributes from Rick posted on his website at Rick.com from various shows he visited this week, including "Entertainment Tonight", "Access Hollywood", "NBC Nightly News", and various local Los Angeles talk shows. He was very appreciative that Dick was able to get his career going in Hollywood, and echoes everyone's sentiments that he will definitely be missed.
