Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 12/10/11

[musicfanpete]

On what may be the final new weekly chart of the year, Kelly Clarkson holds onto the top spot for the third week in a row with "Mr. Know It All". This song also hits the top of the Mediabase Hot AC chart this week and will probably stay atop both charts through the holiday break. Lady Antebellum is poised to take over the top of the chart in January with "Just A Kiss", up from #4 to #2 this week.

After several weeks of inching up the chart, Snow Patrol has this week's highest jumper with "Called Out In The Dark", up this week from #35 to #28. LMFAO has to settle for the week's biggest dropper for the second week in a row with "Party Rock Anthem". Look for their follow up "Sexy And You Know It" to debut in early January, whether people like it or not!

Kid Rock has this week's only debut with "Care", while Lady Gaga looks to pick right up where she left off in 2011 with this week's Sure Shot, "Marry The Night".

Rick gave no indication of whether next week will feature a regular weekly chart or not. So we'll have to wait and see until next week at this time what show will be played. My guess is he might have one more new weekly show before the end of the year.

The chart has been updated to include this week's Bonus Tracks, including one song that I suspect most people will not want to hear!

As I stated above, no indication as of yet whether or not this was the final weekly chart of the year or not. Next week would be the last one if there is one.

Upon further review, I now believe next week may be the Top 40 of 2011 show as it was aired on the week of December 18th last year. This would most likely be followed by Rick's Christmas countdown show airing during the Christmas weekend, followed by one of his "Top 40 of whatever decade" show he usually airs the week after that.

If that's the case, I have completed my calendar year inverse points method Rick Dees year end chart. However, I will let Rick release his official year end chart before I share mine. :)

I am waiting to see how the next few weeks unfold too.
