Just look at Madonna. 4-5-6 Greatest gainer in a row! :o

[DuckHead]

The way that all of the songs at the top are from the last couple of years gives proof to the theory that stations overplay songs more than they used to.

Also, it's pretty shocking to see "Iris" at # 81 on any list!

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Yay for Avril's two appearances at the top and bottom of the Top 10!
