Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Hot AC 4/23/11

[musicfanpete]

On this Easter weekend, Adele takes over the top of Rick's chart with her first number one hit "Rolling In The Deep". This probably leaves the Script out in the cold at #2 for awhile as Adele should enjoy a fairly long run at the top.

Amongst this week's debuts, Duran Duran returns to the chart after a several year absence with their latest hit "All You Need Is Now"

And it wouldn't be a Rick Dees chart without at least one strange move per year. OneRepublic's "Good Life" inexplicitly drops off the chart after just two weeks despite continuing to climb on the Mediabase chart. I will double check the chart later to make sure this wasn't an error on their part, but if not, I would not be surprised to see this song reenter the chart in the very near future.

The other surprise is that we have a song become a sureshot twice in six weeks. I would be willing to bet this hasn't happened in the whole history of the show, and it's also weird in the sense that "MoneyGrabber" isn't exactly tearing up the Mediabase chart.

Regarding "Good Life", yeah, I think somebody just screwed up.

Strange.... OneRepublic fell off the chart from number 25 last week when it was in its 2nd week and rising...

Due to the non-existing recurrent rule Good Life was sacrificed for a new entry by Duran Duran.

I expect OneRepublic to re-enter the chart next week on position 32 (Plain White T's) or 25 (Sugarland).

Yeah, actually I meant to say I wouldn't be surprised if "Good Life" reenters the chart soon. I corrected that in my "monologue" and added the Bonus Tracks as well. Surprised to see "Just A Dream" played as a Bonus Track so soon after dropping off the chart.

More accurately, it was sacrificed for an extra week for "Dynamite," since it would presumably get pushed off the table when "Good Life" was correctly slotted in, with everything behind getting pushed back a spot and Duran Duran debuting at 40.
