I normally blog about the Hot 100 and not the airplay top 40 chart put out by Mediabase. But there's some wild stuff going on right now. Its updated daily the reflect the last 7 days, which is pretty cool.
1. Love Story - Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift claims her first #1 hit. It's only getting 8999 spins over the last week, which is pretty low. Generally #1 on this chart has at least 10,000 spins. Also, she manages to climb from #3 to #1 without a bullet, which is a pretty amazing feat for a song with declining airplay.
2. Circus - Britney Spears
Hot on Swift's heels is Britney, who is just 82 spins away from #1. If "Circus" tops this chart, it will be her fifth time there after "Baby One More Time," "Oops...I Did It Again," "Toxic," and "Womanizer," and notably her first time to score two #1 hits from one album.
4. Gives You Hell - All-American Rejects
Here's another potential #1. "Gives You Hell" is up from #7, making it their first top 5 hit. It may actually keep Britney from #1, since it's gaining spins at a much faster rate than "Circus."
7. Single Ladies - Beyonce
Dropping like a bomb, Beyonce falls six places from #1 where she was 7 days ago. That's a very dramatic drop in airplay, losing over 1300 spins. Perhaps its because both "Halo" and "Diva" are vying to be her next hit, with "Halo" at #40 and "Diva" at #49.
10. Dead and Gone - T.I. Featuring Justin Timberlake
This week's biggest gainer is "Dead and Gone," up 6 spots with over 1000 spin gain. It follows T.I.'s #1 "Live Your Life" and is Justin Timberlake's 12th top 10 hit.
36. The Climb - Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus makes a big leap into the top 40, up from #55. It's her third top 40 hit.

interesting - i am infatuated with Love Story right now. It's that gorgeous key change when she sings "marry me juliet you never have to be alone" that gets me everytime. i am a sucker for key changes :)
I like key changes too. But Love Story is not doing it for me.
