The chart is still rather stagnant, but not near the bottom. There are THREE debuts! We're usually lucky to have one. I don't remember the last time there were three debuts on AT20. What's even more amazing is that all three droppers fell off naturally.
It looks like Phil Collins will be dropping off next week, since it was a year ago next weekend that "Can't Stop Loving You" debuted. Then again, who knows? Back in February, "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias stayed on for a week after he dropped from the R&R chart, simply because he was still in the Top Ten on the R&R chart. But this was when they had a few flaws on the chart, like John Mayer falling out from a high position, then coming back at around the same position from which he fell out. Since then, things have been pretty consistent.
BTW, I tuned in late and then fell asleep during the show, so I had missed some songs. Thanks to Gil and AT40fantoo for filling in the blanks.

I missed #20 as well. I started listening halfway through "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart".

#3 Celine Dion - "Have You Ever Been In Love"
#4 Luther Vandross - "Dance With My Father"
#5 Shania Twain - "Forever and For Always"

Extras
Kelly Clarkson "A Moment Like This" (played after "The Game of Love")

AT20 Archives
1976 Chicago "If You Leave Me Now"
1989 Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time"

LDD
Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over"

9 of the 20 hits are by "foreign acts".

It was mentioned that is Phil Collins' 6th week at #10.

I found the story behind the dedication for Angel a little silly. If the girl leaves you after you tell her your history, then she's not worth pursuing, let alone writing an LDD to! I bet it was fake.

I started listening at #15 so I don't know #20. What were the 3 droppers? Jim Brickman?

Those last two songs are not even on the R&R AC chart yet! :o Urgh, why can't they play other songs that are doing decently on the R&R chart???

Personally, I'd rather hear the more upbeat songs than the sappy AC stuff like "Peace (Where The Heart Is)." I believe the AC chart they use doesn't use airplay from Delilah's show.

Anyway, here are the highlights for the Hot AC show:

Dedications: It's Been Awhile, Missing, Angel - Aerosmith.

Dropper: Big Yellow Taxi

My Sacrifice
Run-Around

Casey also did an obit on Johnny Cash.

[johnnywest]

Is the Michael Buble song a Bee Gees remake? And how did Casey pronounce Michael's last name?

[Hervard]

Yes, it is a remake of the Bee Gees classic from 1971. His last name is pronounced "boob-lay" (DON'T LAUGH!!)

BTW, that rhymes with the name that the Swiss group Double was supposed to be pronounced (you remember them, right? They had a Top Ten A/C hit in the summer of 1986 called "Captain Of Her Heart". The song was peaking about this time that year on CHR radio.

Ah, yes. I remember that song. Didn't remember who did it though. I just remember that that song had a strange note in it that almost sounds off-key. If you hear it, you think, "he using one of those black keys on the piano."

[j]

Yes, that's how Bublé is pronounced. Notice the little thing above the e.

And yes, it's a remake of the Bee Gees song. I heard a version where parts of the song were sung by very distinctive Gibbs brothers voices. I don't know whether it's a radio remix that superimposes the two, or whether that really is the only Bublé version around.
