I've never liked recurrent rules, catalog chart removal, loss of spin rules, or other such nonsense. If an album is one of the 200 best selling albums this week it deserves to be on the chart. Songs the same way, if your song is still popular after 20 weeks and your actually the 24th played song in the USA then you belong at #24, not gone. And don't get me started on how stupid the losing spins 3 weeks in a row country chart rule is!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but on this week's 1976 show Casey mentioned Pat Boone's 4+ non stop years on the Hot 100. Rihanna could soon do much better on the AT40 charts. She's been on there for something like 200 straight weeks. Every single week since 2009, but I don't remember the exact date. "Right Now" is still moving upward, so she's got a shot. |

It would've been ever since "Run This Town" debuted, sometime in the summer of 2009. |

While we're discussing the current AT40, I'll note that Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" this week jumps from #11 to #1--not the all time biggest AT40 or CT40 leap to the top, but biggest since when? I think it's since "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" in 1971, but am not sure. |

I have to admit that this summer I have been enthralled to watch who would make it to the top between Daft Punk and Thicke, and learned that Macklemore is big time as well. I enjoyed the Gotye/ Jepsen battle last year but this one was between two songs that I think are great for any time in AT 40 history. Kudos to Thicke for doing something truly amazing and something not seen in my 40 years on earth: debut in the top 10 at 1! |

Well, hell has frozen over.
As of this writing, we're now at 20 weeks on the Hot Country Songs chart with "Cruise" by those cowabunga dudes, Florida-Georgia Line. Since the introduction of the modern Hot Country Songs chart in October 1958, no song has EVER made it to 20 weeks on top. There were five songs that did that in the pre-1958 chart, with either 20 or 21 weeks:
• 20 weeks: "I Don't Hurt Anymore" by Hank Snow (1954); and "Crazy Arms" by Ray Price (1956).
• 21 weeks: "I'll Hold You In My Heart (Til I Can Hold You In My Arms)" by Eddy Arnold (1947); "I'm Movin' On" by Hank Snow (1950); and "In the Jailhouse Now" by Webb Pierce (1955).
Of those, Ray Price is the only surviving artist. We already know he got pissed off by one current day artist ... wonder what he's thinking now with someone matching his record that he likely never thought could be matched again? (Even among his contemporaries and friends such as Leroy Van Dyke and Buck Owens.)
Bury the classics – "Cruise" appears to have quite a bit of legs left, and then we're left with probably another three months in the top 10 once it does finally fall from the top for good.
Somebody shoot this chart right now ... .
Brian
P.S. – All that said, "Cruise" is not a bad song, and Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are a talented duo with some good songs. It's just that it's become annoying because of its extraordinary long run atop the Hot Country Songs chart. Even with its three weeks at No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart, it would definitely have been in contention for No. 1 song of 2013 (as the song's run at No. 1 on that chart, plus its original run at No. 1 on the all-encompassing Hot Country Songs chart) fall within the 2013 chart year. Now, there's little doubt it will be, and little chance for other deserving songs – I thought Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" would have crashed the No. 1 spot – to even reach No. 1 for so much as a week.
At least Taylor Swift's in good company. (And hey, I liked "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" as well. Just isn't a true country song.)

I like the song. Honestly I like it as much now as I did when it was on the chart that half matters (mediabase). Without its stupid rule it might have been on it for months. Not #1 but on it. I think you are being too hard on it. Sure Billboard sucks but in 50 years people may look at this song as a country music standard and in the same vein as Mountain Music, etc. Country music has changed, embrace it. It's not nearly as bad as CHR.

It definitely deserves props...it came pretty darn close to tying the AT 40 record, if it does indeed jump to 1. I was trying to think of other big leaps to number one between "UA/AH" and "Blurred Lines". I don't know the 70's charts well enough to comment on those. In the 80's, was "Rapture" the biggest jumper from 6 (or 7) to 1? In the 90's, I do remember "I Don't Wanna Cry" jumped, I think from 8-1 in 1991 but I can't tell you for sure about any songs after the revamping in November of that year. |

On CT40 "This Used to Be My Playground" jumped 10-1 in 1992. Shadoe Fan, do you know the biggest jump to number one on AT 40 between 11/30/91 and 1/28/95? |

Looking through my notes, I don't see any stories from 11/30/91-1/28/95 about songs with big moves to #1. When "I Don't Wanna Cry" moved 8-1 earlier in '91, AT40 did a story on it. Thus I'm guessing no song moved more than 7 notches to #1 during that time period. |

Ok. Honestly didn't know. Didn't hear the show in 92 and don't remember the movement in 94. I'm actually wondering in those latter years though if moving up 3 to #1 WAS the biggest move, and "That's the Way Love Goes" also climbed 3 to #1.
