Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 12/17/11

[musicfanpete]

Well, we get one final weekly Rick Dees chart for the year. With next week being Christmas weekend, Rick did state he would be counting down the top Christmas songs next weekend. Most likely he will countdown the top 40 hits of the year New Year's weekend, followed by most like another one of Rick's "top requested decade" countdowns of some sort the week after.

This week brings us a slow chart, but with a new number one song as Lady Antebellum finishes out the year at the top with "Just A Kiss". Never mind that Rick mentioned that this was their second week at number one even as he promised a new number one song earlier in the countdown! Maybe that was meant to be for the first new chart of the new year! Either way, Colbie Caillat has a good shot at the top in early January with her latest hit "Brighter Than The Sun".

Only two songs manage to move 4 or more spots as Cobra Starship has the year's smallest "biggest" dropper with "You Make Me Feel", down from #12 to #16. Christina Perri has the week's biggest jumper with "A Thousand Years", up from #26 to #21.

In addition to Lady Gaga's debut at #36 with "Marry The Night", all Hot AC fans will be happy that Flo Rida debuts at #40 this week with "Good Feeling". Ironically this replaces OneRepublic's "Good Life" at the same #40 position from last week.

Updated the chart to included this week's Bonus Tracks, and to modify my post from earlier today. Rick will be counting down the top Christmas songs next week, so we will probably have to wait until New Year's weekend for the Top 40 songs of 2011.
