It seems that Country Top 40 with Bob Kingsley has just introduced a new recurrent rule to their chart as from this weekend's show. They are still based on the latest Mediabase chart but skipped many of the old songs going down the charts, including former #1 songs. They started with # 40 Saturday Night by Wade Bowen, which is # 44 on the Mediabase, and skipped 4 songs on their way to the #1. There may be requests from their affiliates to exclude the old chart songs. But, American Country Countdown has excluded the #40 - # 31 portion to exclude the brand new songs. Anyhow, Country Top 40 takes completely adverse approach taken by Ryan's AT40. I do not like either, though. Why not just following the official Mediabase chart?  |

Could it just be that since is the first regular show of the new year --- and was probably recorded prior to the Christmas holiday, that for one week Bob and his crew just did a "dartboard" chart so they could have a regular show produced for this week? The weekend after the year-end countdowns is always sort of a crapshoot as to what chart you will get on these shows. Wait until next week and see if things return to normal.

Thank you, BrettVW for your comment. I also hope that is the case. However, I am a bit pessimistic. They basically used the brand new Mediabase chart for this week's show, which was tabulated based on the actual airplay monitor data from December 25 through December 31. So, the show must not be taken before January 1. |

I've always hated Mediabases recurrent rule and think the country shows are a near disaster because of it. I can't imagine it's any worse than its been. |

I seriously doubt that happened. Unpublished, maybe. But Bob isn't the dartboard type. Although the year end tabulations are shady, even that's not a total dartboard in the vein we are used to. |

Actually, the Mediabase rule for the country charts hasn't changed in ages; any song which is ranked below #1 and is down in both spins and points for three consecutive weeks will be moved to recurrent.
Hope that helps.
