Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 12/3/11

[musicfanpete]

Kelly Clarkson holds onto the top spot this week with "Mr. Know It All". Adele's "Someone Like You" hangs on at #2 and could possibly regain the top spot. More likely though, Colbie Caillat and/or Lady Antebellum have the best shots at unthroning Kelly from the top in the next week or two, though we may only have one or possibly two new weekly charts left for 2011. And if Colbie eventually takes over the top spot, she would do it with one of the slowest moving songs of the year.

More good news for Adele as she has this weeks highest debut all the way up at #24 with "Set Fire To The Rain", which should give her a good start to 2012. Also debuting in the top 30 this week is Christina Perri's latest, "A Thousand Years" from the Twilight soundtrack. It has been a while since we have seen two top 30 debuts in one week, and look for both of these songs battling for the top sometime early next year.

Finally, Florence & The Machine debut with the Sure Shot from two weeks ago, "Shake It Out", as she "bookends" the year with her two hits including "Dog Days Our Over".

I know. I never did get last week's Bonus Tracks up. Better late than ever. Love the one CHR "exclusive" track he played this past week as well.

Which would be the CHR 'exclusive'?

"Carry Out". I don't know of any Hot AC station that played that song considering the racy lyrics. I did like the song though, and am surprised it did not at least crack the Hot AC top 40 with what is getting played on the format these days.
