American Top 40 - March 2, 2013

[Cerebro]

Last week's chart seemed behind schedule. We've got a little bit of catching up happening, this week.

With the two 40+ weekers being expunged (I thought Ellie would hit the 1 year mark), Justin Bieber and Alex Clare both assume the mantle of chart seniority.

Among this increased movement, "Don't Stop the Party" takes an 18 notch dive that must be one of the steepest drops in a while that wasn't skewed by "frozen" holiday charts or some other special factor. At the same time, Pitbull's followup nicely replaces it, jumping in at #29.

The mirror image of that, in a sense, is "Kiss You" jumping 13 notches for the week's biggest move up while 1D's previous "Little Things" falls off. Bruno Mars also makes a double digit climb, while almost everything else makes less dramatic moves. Only three songs (including the top two) stay put in last week's positions.

Yea! Gold should stop its back steps this week with this..should at least have a positive bullet

I'm kind of shocked they dropped 'Lights'. Oh well, they tend to drop old recurrents faster than they used to.

I'm kinda shocked it wasn't played as an extra.

[johnnywest]

^Why would you even expect it to be played? So far this year, none of the optional extras have charted in 2013, and all of the filler extras have been non-recurrents.

awesome 19-14 jump for Catch My Breath!

[musiciscool]

I'm very glad with this week's chart. Great movements for the most part, up and down. Glad and was surprised to see Fun. "Carry On" debut at #39. Lastly, still happy to see Ke$ha "Die Young" still on the chart and now falling more slowly.

[richie]

Very nice chart! I'm glad that Don't Stop The Party isn't going to have the longevity of Party Rock Anthem. There are only 6 songs in the lower twenty with more than 20 weeks on. That's one of
the fewest of the Ryan era. The extras are all well-placed: one breakout in each of the first 3 hours, and the 241 lengthening the 06-07 segment. And no annoying on the verge stuff.
Ryan pointed out that three tracks in a row (16, 15, 14) all jumped 5 notches (a word he doesn't usually use anymore) He also said that Rihanna now has 33 hits in 8 years, compared to Madonna's 55 which took her 30 years. Rihanna is tied at #6 on the list of female hitmakers. (with Dionne
Warwick, as he said some time ago)
I saw the list for the Hot AC version of the show. It's like from a parallel universe with some older songs still on there, and some songs that I've never heard of.

[BillboardBoy]

When introducing #1 , Ryan pointed out that it's the first song to top 16,000 spins at pop radio stations in a single week.

I'm surprised he didn't say VOTES.
