that's what i was just thinking!!! Chiddy Bang isn't even increasing a lot, and i think she's at 570-590 spins so yeah she could be in top 50 with the regular update. And then she could theoretically be top 45, because many songs get purged (Fray, We The Kings, Colbie) and Selena will DEFINITELY go recurrent, Hot Chelle Rae and LMFAO probably too

6) What is a recurrent song? If a song is purged, is it also recurrent? but then, what does going recurrent mean?! I'm confused!!!

I would start by saying that recurrent is a song that is not 'current' but is played on the radio often.
Mediabase has a ranking that includes Currents and Recurrents, which means including all songs that are highly played in a radio station, independent of their 'age'.
However, there are also rules for songs to go recurrent or earn recurrency.
There are two main criteria to consider to know if a song is going recurrent:
- Number of weeks: the song has been inside the Top 40 for TWENTY (20) WEEKS.
- Position inside the chart: the song has slipped outside of the Top 20.

If a song fulfills both criteria, then on the Sunday official chart, the song will NOT appear in the Official chart anymore: the song went recurrent!!

Let's use few current examples (from the chart updated on Sunday March 1st, 2009):

CASE 1:

29 28 KANYE WEST Love Lockdown (Roc-A-Fella/IDJMG) 1377 1635 -258 10.329 (20)
Will Kanye go recurrent next week even if it drops out of the Top 40?
Kanye spent his 20th week today. If this coming week, Kanye plummets and by Sunday is already out of the Top 40 at let's say #43, it WILL go recurrent!!
Because it already spent 20 weeks INSIDE the Top 40, and is below #20.

CASE 2:
15 16 T.I. Live Your Life f/Rihanna (Grand Hustle/Atlantic) 3806 4498 -692 26.091 (20)
Will TIRi go recurrent next week?
Well, it depends. If TIRi stay inside the Top 20, it will NOT go recurrent! Remember, it has to be BELOW #20 to go recurrent.

CASE 3:
Sunday Morning Update:
37 50 LESLEY ROY Unbeautiful 526 931 -405 2.231
On Sunday Afternoon Update, Lesley disappeared. Did she go recurrent?
NO! She had not spent 20 weeks inside the Top 40, so she was PURGED!!

So... that is when we use the word 'being purged':
When a song that didn't fulfill the criteria to go recurrent is removed from the chart because it is already decreasing spins considerably (and Mediabase decides is not relevant anymore to be counted in the official chart).

There is no specific criteria for a song to be purged... and Mediabase can do purges randomly, but generally refers to songs that are unbulleted and below the Top 40. These songs will be included in the "Mediabase w/Recurrents" chart, since they are considered non-currents or 'recurrents', but they did not 'earn recurrency' but were 'forced' to become recurrent, or 'purged'.

Going recurrent is a sort of status of a song that managed to remain inside the Top 40 for enough weeks that could 'graduate' from it with honors instead of being 'dropped out'

.

Nevermind.

Saturday's update :
52 52 LOVATO, DEMI Give Your Heart A Break 585 541 44 2.83
woo! (Foster is #51 but they're falling)
btw i think the update was +6 so it's not even THAT bad
585 spins, so she might have lik 620 or more if Saturday Night Online had that big of an influence she might even stay before BOB, who's #53 and increasing a lot. We'll see

She might even be 650+ because Saturday Night Online reaches over 60 cities!!!

I REALLY hope so! But she might not, because some stations already played her and maybe decreased her spins this week, but w/e the update will be good!

Don't get your hopes up.
