Kelly Clarkson has the third biggest dropper of the year, in a year that has seen several of these big drops. No mention of this week's biggest dropper by Ryan though.

This is also the same biggest mover in terms of the amount and the ranking as we saw with Captial Cities last week. Overall, the AT40 Hot AC chart was more active than the AT40 CHR chart this week.

And it will be very interesting to see where Katy Perry's "Roar" debuts in the coming weeks. Based on last week's mid-week Mediabase data, she will either debut relatively low next week, followed by a monster jump the week after, or she will debut potentially in the top 15 two weeks from now. Either way this will be very close to a record high debut or jump. Let's see if she equals Usher's 25 spot jump that he accomplished last year on the AT40 CHR chart with "Scream".

Hmmmm...."Scream", "Roar". I see a pattern here!
