So "Lady Marmalade" left the Top 40 after only 5 weeks? Wow, is this some kinda record? I know this is because of recurrent rules, but still, dude, that's one fast dropper!

On AT40, this is true, but at that time R&R also had a "silly" recurrent rule - 25/-3, which basically meant any song that did not have a bullet for three straight weeks and was below #25 was moved to recurrent. Victims of this rule included LM and Pop by *N Sync.

Also, on R&R, LM only spent 9 weeks @ #1 and fell 1-2-8.

We never did find out which recurrent rule AT40 used during the time they deviated from the R&R chart, did we?

As far as we know, they drew the titles of songs that were more than ten weeks old out of a hat.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Except 'Nobody Wants To Be Lonely', which was 9 weeks when it fell off, wasn't it? At least in Top 40 terms.

[Eyeball]

Wasn't it something like, songs that are unbulleted for 3 weeks and outside the Top 10 are taken off?

That produced some weird chart runs...for instance, Coldplay "Yellow" fell off from its peak of #22.

It seems to have caused some kind of vicious cycle effect...songs are removed from ridiculously high positions (as high as #11), causing more songs to rise on the chart while losing spins, so they went recurrent only a week or two after peaking on the chart because they "vacuum-effected" to their peak. Those songs being removed causes MORE vacuum effect, and so on and so forth.

Later I think they changed it to 3 weeks unbulleted and below #25, causing songs like "Drive" and "Drops Of Jupiter" to get more weeks on than they should have had, making for less debuts and a slower-movibng lower part of the chart.
