Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” holds at #1 for a 2nd week, but is only 23 spins ahead of 3 Doors Down’s “It’s Not My Time”.
Kid Rock continues his climb up the chart, moving 5-4 with “All Summer Long”. David Cook gets pushed back down to #7, but the song is still gaining spins and is just a few spins behind Gavin Rossdale at #6. Just below the top 10 Daughtry moves up to #12 with “What about Now”. If his gains continue, he could be top 10 next week.
Jesse McCartney gets a 2nd top 20 hit as “Leavin’” moves up to #20. The Jonas Brothers get their first top 30 on Hot AC with “Burnin’ Up”, which moves up to #29 in its 4th week on the chart.
Carrie Underwood leaps 7 notches to #31 this week and is the biggest mover within the top 40. Interestingly, she only had an increase of 34 spins over the previous week. Thus, unless more stations play the song, don’t expect much of a move up next week. The song is being played on about 20% of the Hot AC panel of stations.
Staind has the highest of the 3 debuts this week. They come in at #34 with “Believe”. The song is their 5th Hot AC hit. Newcomer Estelle enters at #37 with “American Boy”, and Leona Lewis debuts at #39 with her 2nd hit “Better in Time.”
