Thanks, Archiver.
areyouready- I thought it could have entered Billboard's Adult Pop Songs chart, but today's update pushes it back to 42 on Mediabase. It did reach Mediabase's official top 40, though (as that runs on a Sun.-Sat. period).

HOT AC chart is only 40 spots in Billboard, or is that the old version?

Looks like it's peaked at AC, but we'll see if it reverses course at Hot AC.

Well this seems to have done about as well as Cher's I Hope You Find It, which is what I was hoping for at the very least.

Will HAC adds on Monday give this a boost. Hopefully. Proud of this song anyway.

Some notable differences between the Hot AC peaks listed earlier and Billboard's Adult Top 40 (because they cover different periods, these different peaks happened every now and then):
*"You Must Love Me" peaked at 23 Billboard, but 16 R&R *"Ray of Light" peaked at 39 on Billboard, and 30 R&R *"The Power of Good-Bye" peaked at No. 40 Billboard, but didn't crack R&R *"Sorry" peaked at 36 Billboard, but 40 R&R

R&R's HAC chart also only went down to 30 for the first so many years, didn't it? Certainly it still did in 1998, given the 1 week and #30 for ROL.
In any event, the dual recurrencies for "Blank Space" and Sheppard will put this back at #40.

^Most likely was 30 positions back then.
While "Ghosttown" will bounce back to 40 on Mediabase, it probably will miss out again on Billboard's chart. So close, yet.... :) (Though sometimes there are discrepancies- they just haven't worked in "Ghosttown's" favor on Billboard)

The Radio and Records Hot AC chart was a 30 position chart from April 22, 1994 to May 10, 2002. The May 17, 2002 chart was the first 40 position HAC chart.

Likely will miss Billboard's Adult Pop Songs chart this week- again- but at least it's been hanging on in the same vicinity for the last few weeks.

Seven adds (KLTG-FM KSII-FM WAJI-FM WJLK-FM WMEE-FM WRMF-FM WSJO-FM) makes this tied for sixth-most added this week along with Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness (Fall Out Boy leads with 13).

^Looking at the Mediabase chart (which has its differences with Billboard), the 29-39 range is pretty competitive, so, unless it reverses course, it's not going to debut on the Billboard chart. And No. 41 on Mediabase ("Elastic Heart") is on the verge of passing "Ghosttown."

Many radio stations update their playlists on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, so mid-week spin changes may indicate the trend for the next 5-6 days. It would be sweet if "Ghosttown" continued to gain 15-20 spins daily and ended up with a +100 a week from now. Three of this week's adds are already on board: WJLK Monmouth-OceanKSII El Paso and WSJO Atlantic City, with KLTG Corpus Christi new today (spins reflected in tomorrow's numbers). Additionally, WQLH Green Bay, one of this week's two adds at AC is spinning. As always, this list of Ghostations is updated regularly.

Another of this week's adds, WMEE Fort Wayne, is now spinning, but that still leaves three add stations that have yet to play 'Ghosttown.' Their coming on board would help get the song closer to the +15 daily updates that I'd hoped for earlier this week. Last week, as the HotAC add date approached, I heard several stations experimenting with two different radio edits. The first eliminated the chords directly after the bridge, so after "mad, mad world," Madonna came right back in with the more gentle version of "when it all falls, when it all falls down." The second went even further, eliminating the chords after the bridge and the gentler chorus, so right after "mad, mad world," Madonna sings the final bombastic chorus, and the song ends. Most stations have returned to playing the album version. Since they are apparently out there, I wonder if placing a radio edit on iTunes would help with the song's sales. 'Ghosttown' appears to be faring well at one of my local HotAC's, KLLC San Francisco. Every time they play it, the DJ comments on the number of requests they are getting for Madonna. The station is also playing Adam Lambert's 'Ghost Town,' and the DJ's are having fun with it - when they play Adam, they'll say something like, "not to be confused with Madonna's 'Ghosttown,' which is coming up next hour." Edited to add - Welcome to the 'Ghosttown' WRMF West Palm Beach and WAJI Fort Wayne - both just played the track for the very first time!

I finally heard the song on the radio yesterday for the very first time, grant it, I hardly listen, but it was nice. Station was WNIC 100.3 in Detroit. Anyone know if they have "added" it?

Thanks for the updates, botox.
Even if it doesn't break the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart, it's been a consistent performer in the 41-45 range.

I had the wrong info posted for Hot AC yesterday; I've fixed it. Here is today's update:
Mediabase AC (Published Panel Chart)
16 17 MADONNA Ghosttown 342 340 2 3.13
+6 Spins +10 Bullet +0.04 AI
Mediabase Hot AC (Published Panel)

Matt Kearney's "Billion," for some reason, was ranked notably higher on Mediabase than Billboard for the 5/2 chart. So, it probably will be the one that debuts this week (as one track goes recurrent), which will leave "Ghosttown" with another week as New & Active. And then there are a couple of tracks gaining bigger than "Ghosttown" that will probably pass it within the next few days.
