I can't believe "Here Without You" has been #1 for 7 weeks given the amount of negative sentiment I've seen for it.

I can't believe Spears is ahead of "Hey Ya". It seems like practically everyone likes the latter, which makes me wonder why it's only #4 instead of #1 (or #2 with Branch at #1, since practically everyone likes her as well)

What's the chart run for "Meant To Live"? Also, was "Going Under" the first #1 to miss the top 40 on pop?

(Co)leading:
7) John Mayer - Bigger Than My Body (#1 and I know it says #3 )
41) Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down (#2)
69) Chevelle - Closure (#4)

Haven't heard:
99) Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name
98) Kelis - Milkshake
94) Deepest Blue - Deepest Blue
89) Finger Eleven - One Thing
84) Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth
80) Lillix - Tomorrow
73) Tori Amos - Strange
70) Missy Elliott - Pass That Dutch
62) Cold - Suffocate
59) Madonna - Nothing Fails
56) Mya - Fallen
50) Chingy - Holidae In
43) Simply Red - Sunrise
22) Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within
3) Britney Spears - Me Against The Music

85%. I think that's a new low for me.

Yeah, it seems that way to me too, that "Hey Ya" should be the #1 song (not just personally, but judging from board opinions).

Oh, and for the record, "Hey Ya" is just 1 point behind "MATM".

Here Without You - 1412 (+32)
Breathe - 1230 (+63)
Me Against the Music - 1220 (+82)
Hey Ya - 1219 (+154)
Bright Lights - 1179 (+8)
Stacy's Mom - 1061 (-15)
Bigger Than My Body - 1040 (-22)
White Flag - 1033 (+40)
(There's Gotta Be) More To Life - 994 (+110)
It's My Life - 936 (+276)

There was a net increase of 2 reporters this week, but "HWY" stands to lose 140 points among the reporters that have been frozen for two weeks (i.e. if they don't report next week).

The complete list of #1s and CHR/Pop peaks:

1 Here Without You - 3 Doors Down
1 Complicated - Avril Lavigne
1 I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
1 Crazy in Love - Beyonce f/Jay-Z
2 Hero - Chad Kroeger f/Josey Scott
1 Beautiful - Christina Aguilera
3 Gotta Get Thru This - Daniel Bedingfield
1 Without Me - Eminem
49 Going Under - Evanescence
1 Bring Me to Life - Evanescence f/Paul McCoy
8 Intuition - Jewel
4 The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
3 Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake
3 Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue
11 Love at First Sight - Kylie Minogue
1 In the End - Linkin Park
2 All You Wanted - Michelle Branch
4 Are You Happy Now? - Michelle Branch
1 Hey Baby - No Doubt
2 Just Like a Pill - Pink
5 The Game of Love - Santana f/Michelle Branch
4 Whenever, Wherever - Shakira
8 All the Things She Said - t.A.T.u.

So not only is "Going Under" the first R&R/Pulse 100 #1 to miss the top 40, it's just the second one to miss the top 10.

It's probably not #1 because of a lot of people refusing to add any hip-hop or R&B to their chart...I really don't like the extreme Hot-AC lean of the Pulse 100.

Well, "Hey Ya" is on 33 reporters' charts this week, tied for the second most...

Don't look at me. The song is #1 on my chart.

I don't "refuse" to add hip-hop to my chart. I don't find what is so magnificent about Hey Ya personally, so I don't have it on my chart. Besides, this song is beginning to irritate me...

And as far as being "extreme Hot AC", I don't wholeheartedly agree with that. I would say it is extreme "CHR". Stacie Orrico, Britney Spears, Evanescence, and Hilary Duff may be played on Hot AC, but I would not call them Hot AC artists.

Good god, another music comment from Eyeball

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

'Hey Ya' is #1 on the new PeopleBase 3.0... hmmm.... maybe PB3 is more accurate than the Pulse 100? ;)

[dragoneyez]

I think I forgot to send in my chart for both this week (11/11) and last week (11/18), so, had I done that, Hey Ya woulda been ahead of Britney. :-! :(
