American Top 40 December 11-12 2004

[95-7 Ben FM]

"Wonderful" should debut if it hasn't already. Any other chart predictions, or does anyone have the chart early?

[Hervard]

I predict that "Only One" by Yellowcard will be debuting, and maybe even "Daughters" by John Mayer, as Good Charlotte and maybe Linkin' Park exit the chart (of course Linkin' Park has been moving down slowly - it'll probably spend another week at #40)  Other than that, I don't know.

[95-7 Ben FM]

"Only One" debuted last week if I remember correctly.

[Hervard]

That's right. Then maybe it'll be John Mayer and Destiny's Child that debut. "Wonderful" only moves 37-34 on the corresponding chart, so it may or may not make it.

[Aussiefan]

I predict 3 debuts this week...

Hoobastank's "Disappear" 
Jay Z/Linkin Park "Numb/Encore"
John Mayers "Daughters"

:)

[Cerebro]

"Only One", "Wonderful", and "Disappear" all debuted last week. I'll have to agree with ulij that "Daughters" and "Soldier" are the most likely candidates for debuts this week. "Since U Been Gone" and "Numb/Encore" are on the bubble, depending on who drops out.

Why is "Daughters" doing so well. That is possibly the worst song of the year :o

[j]

Snoop wants to open an ice cream shop? Really? And then he'll be called Scoop Dogg? Hmn...

[Hervard]

Did Ryan say anything about when the year-end show is going to be? I assume that Part 1 will be run Christmas weekend and Part 2 will be run New Year's weekend, but then again, I thought the same about Rick Dees' Top 100 of 2004 but, apparently, that's going to start next week.

[richie]

He said it would start in 2 weeks. So it is one week out of phase with Rick's yearend countdown.

[Hervard]

Good, that way I'll only have to tape one show while listening to the other for one week. Thanks.

If the 2 big year-end countdown shows don't line up, it always seems to be that Rick's is early. He likes to have everything wrapped up before the New Year.

You're welcome. By the way, I always look forward to reading your AT 10 commentary each week.

[chebingeo]

He played GATBGW not too long ago as an extra.

Does anyone know if Dees is doing a Christmas special this year?

Yes he does. As I said in another topic, back in 1999, which followed the same sequence as this year (i.e. December starting on Wednesday), Rick started his decade end countdown on the weekend of the 18th. I figured that he'd spread the show over two weeks and then do a Top 40 of the year on New Year's weekend, but that did not happen. He went back to a regular survey that weekend.
