Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 1/28/12

[musicfanpete]

As expected we have a very active chart this week as Rick's chart "catches up" a bit to the official Mediabase Hot AC chart. Lots of big movers both up and down the chart this week, with Kelly Clarkson making what could stand as the biggest jumper of all of 2012. Her latest hit "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" leaps up 17 spots from #37 to #20 (I love how Rick still gets excited when these kind of jumps take place!). I'm sure this song will be parked at #1 within the next month or two.

Three songs debut this week including the second chart hits for Jesse J and Andy Grammer. With eight new entries the last two weeks, look for the chart movement to slow up a bit in the coming weeks, outside of a big mover here or there.

Other chart highlights include Gavin DeGraw, eight years after he first charted with "Follow Through", capturing the top spot for his first number one hit with "Not Over You". That will probably be short lived as Katy Perry gains momentum on the Mediabase Hot AC chart and should finish this week at number one with "The One That Got Away". Therefore, look for Katy to grab her record setting sixth number one song from the same album within the next week or two on Rick's chart. Adele should follow soon after with "Set Fire To The Rain".

Also, Ellie Goulding rebounds back to her previous peak of #22 this week with her first hit "Lights", while Train makes another one of their typical high debuts with their latest hit "Drive By".

Did Rick played Always Be My Baby before #1? He did this on the Pop countdown.

No, he did not play it on the Hot AC version this week, though he sometimes does play a former #1 song before the current #1 song is played. But some weeks this does not occur, including this week.

Just click under the charts menu at the left and you can choose the show.

Also remember that Rick's current shows can be listened to anytime online at Rick.com. Plus he has over two years of the Hot AC version archived, under 2011 and 2012 shows, though there are quite a few of the 2010 shows listed there as well.
