Congratulations to James on his first HAC Top 10 hit! This week, "You're Beautiful" jumps 9 places from #16 all the way to #7. It's the greatest gainer at the format with a +208 bullet! I'm enjoying this chart success, seeing a jump THAT big is verrrrry rare for this chart. Sorry for what may be a silly question, CaptainOats, but what sort of influence does this chart have on the Billboard singles chart and how does it differ? I do notice that seems to be a massive jump for this particular chart, as most of the moves are very small. Excellent!

CaptainOats, but what sort of influence does this chart have on the Billboard singles chart and how does it differ? This chart counts directly towards the Overall Airplay chart used for the Hot 100 (and Hot 100 is based on a mix of sales and airplay). Basically, this huge jump on the HAC chart (HAC is called 'Adult Top 40' by Billboard) means airplay for the song is really picking up. HAC stations tend to give heavy airplay to older songs, so the most played song on a HAC station is usually played between 40 and 60 times a week. This compares to Pop stations where the most played song is played between 80 and 100 times a week, and some hip-hop stations play their most-played song as many as 120!!! times a week. This means that the HAC chart doesn't have AS much influence on the Hot 100, but it's important and contributes to the chart nonetheless. Also, when a new artist goes Top 10 at HAC, it pretty much guarentees some attention from Pop stations a little down the road, and Pop audience really helps on the Hot 100.

Horrible! I've tried to understand his appeal, but I simply can't find it.

When's the last time the same song topped the Hot 100 and HAC/Adult Top 40? Nickelback in 2001 I guess?
