So the AC chart has always been slow.

Keep up the good work. There is a link that will help you with the AC #1s from 2000-today (http://www.popradiotop20.com)

OMG, I just clicked on that link. Are you telling me that Casey actually did countdowns based on this chart, the AC Hot 20 or whatever it was called? In 2002, there were only 3 new #1 songs. What a joke. Wherever You Go had 22 weeks at #1 but is still second to Smooth with 25 weeks at #1. Only CDs are supposed to spend that many weeks at #1.
