The Pulse 50: March 30, 2004

[Matt4319]

In the weeks since I instituted the new guidelines for posting charts, the amount of time taken to publish each chart has gone down considerably.  However, possibly due to the new guidelines, there has been a gradual drop in reporting levels.  Last week there were only 49 reporters, the lowest number of 2004 -- until this week.  Regrettably, another 11 reporters had to be removed from the panel, bringing this week's number to 38.  This is a trend that I don't see being reversed soon, so I've made the decision to cut the chart in half for the time being.  Unfortunately, there were still a number of ties near the bottom of the chart.

Dayum... I'm assuming that's the biggest drop out of the top 10 in the history of this chart?

I believe so.

Eight of the 11 removed reporters had "JALW" on their charts, and combined with rapidly dropping airplay at CHR/Pop, it's not too surprising to see a big fall, but I didn't expect one quite as big as this.

Well, that really sucks. I'd hate to see this chart go down the tubes.

[Deleted]

umm... this is a huge mess now

I don't know, in the past few weeks I've become completely uninterested in posting my chart here. I guess it's because I've been lacking in keeping my charts up to date.

[Matt4319]

Well, before this gets too serious....

Say it with me now:





















APRIL FOOL'S!

I should have the real chart up by tomorrow.

Didn't you see the April Fool's joke? It is still a top 100. :)
