Anoop: “Dim All the Lights” – Spins: 3 (3 AC)

Yay! for Jennifer Hudson going to number 1 with her new song.
Yes!! I love me some Jennifer Hudson. I can’t wait to go to her concert next month! I hope her movie with Forest Whitaker (Winged Creatures) comes out this year.
The season 8 spins are interesting too. If we go by this, the order by first to last would go like this:
Adam (10 spins)
Kris (5 spins)
Anoop (3 spins)
Matt (3 spins)
Danny (1 spin)
Allison (1 spin)
Lil (0 spins)
With the exception of Anoop, it looks like the bottom 3 was correct last week if you go by the number of radio spins from last week performances.
Is HAC = Hot Adult Contemporary? or Hit? Or something else???
I think its hot adult contemporary
Yeah, it’s Hot Adult Contemporary.
Yay! Go J-Hud! Is it easy to get R&B no. 1s or do they just like to play her? She may be able to go platinum with all this airplay.
I see Melinda and Elliott aren’t top 50 anywhere? I still think they should’ve gotten a spot over certain other contestants- mainly MJ and Carly, Kellie, and Archie. Those 3 were terrible. I’m sure Elliott and Melinda would’ve made much better use of such a great and much needed opportunity.
Wasn’t the MJ & Carly thing as a last minute replacement for someone else who was supposed to perform (a non AI related performer)? I thought I remembered hearing that. So, I don’t think they took a designated “former contestant” spot. But, TPTB sure do love pimping those two together LOL.

Geesh that whole HDD chart looks ugly.
WPLJ – New York (#1 HAC station) just added CBTM! YAY!
I think Carrie’s having an Entertainer of the Year award boost, just like Taylor Swift when she was nominated for Grammy’s Best New Artist. I mean the album is out for 1 1/2 years already and still selling?
Twitter from Zapoleon Media Strategies (radio program advisors):
Hot New songs Sean Kingston, Pussycat Dolls and Kings of Leon…Kristinia Debarge is a hit and the new Daughtry tunes sound great

music to me ears.. :bye_tb:.. looking for daughtry to come out swinging once again….. been a good year so far for north carolina – unc wins ncaa national championship, miss nc wins miss usa – so keep it going chris!
Can we please have a leak!?! Like yesterday?! I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out until the AI performance :jittery_tb:
Glad to hear WPLJ added CBTM. Not surprising though because they really love DC. They still play TOML and LO over and over and over LOL
Here are the 7 CBTM adds:
AC
HAC
I went to request songs on one of my local radio stations today, and Adam Lambert’s If I Can’t Have You is at the top of the form. What a nice surprise! If I understand the rules correctly, that means this station has played it at least twice this week. So, I guess at least 2 of this week’s 6 AC spins were by WBZZ.
