Forgive is started, but I didn't see it in the first three pages. This will debut between 47 and 49 on next week's Billboard Rock Songs chart. Mayer's first ever on that chart I believe.

Two Taylor Swifts in one year for rock radio. Poison I tell you. She is not featured, but there is a female presence at the very end of the song I noticed.

Two? She featured in a Boys Like Girls song, but that barely counts.

That was the other one. And I skipped over Who Says, which was his first Rock Songs charting single.

No it's not! Bite your tongue. Luckily she's not namechecked on the entry, so we're all safe for now!

Artie, Taylor is indeed the "female presence" at the end of the song. I believe that on the album it's credited to John Mayer (feat. Taylor Swift).
As the resident John Mayer obsessor, I'll confirm this. The only reason that it's on the Rock Songs chart is because it's top ten on AAA. (#3 to be precise)

That's what I assumed. But to add to the confusion, the promo CD shipped to my radio station does not mention Swift anywhere. I purchased the LP, which lists the last song on Side A as (With Taylor Swift). There is no CD single or 45 that I know about, so I'm guessing Billboard is using the original CD pressing by not crediting Swift on the single.

Has any of his songs even touched any Rock format?

No Such Thing peaked at 60 on Modern at the time! No other entries found.

I never understood why the Triple A category is lumped with Hot Adult on this board. 3A, Alternative, Active, Mainstream, and even Metal radio should be merged into this section.

Admittedly, this is the only page on the site I read. But it looks like this would be a better grouping:
Adult Contemporary / Hot AC
Alternative / Rock / Metal / AAA
CHR / Rhythmic (Urban)
Country & Western
Christian
Dance
Global with Latin as a sub board

Lol at a thread for a John Mayer song being created here. Not that I haven't seen stupider things...  Anyway, you know what? I actually would love to see him charting on Alternative. I mean, if Jack Johnson does so... I love this song. Without a doubt one of my top 10 favorite songs from 2009. |

Not so weird. But if No Such Thing could barely get Modern airplay, I'm not sure anything else will.
