Couple of things about this week's chart.

First, why is "Song 4 U" listed in New & Active? It appears to have lost spins this week, and I thought N&A was defined as the next 5 songs with bullets.

Also, I noticed that for the second week in a row the "Most Played Recurrents" list does not correspond to the "sans recurrent rules" chart. Why is that?

N&A songs have to be the top 5 songs with at least 10% of the panel reporting and song and at least one of the following conditions:

1) It has gained spins over the last week, and/or
2) Has gained an add over the previous week.

My guess is that Song 4 U gained an add but lost spins, making it eligible for N&A.

Also, I noticed that for the second week in a row the "Most Played Recurrents" list does not correspond to the "sans recurrent rules" chart.  Why is that?

One possibility is that I think R&R has I Hope You Dance as a gold, while Mediabase has it as a recurrent.  Since I use the Mediabase update for the sans recurrent chart, I list that as a recurrent.
