Subject: Charts Improving?

I recently made an observation about the current charts, most notably the Pop and HotAC charts that Casey uses, and wondered if anybody else would agree with me. Does it seem like the charts have started to move a little bit faster in recent months?

Case in point, I noticed that on this weeks AT20 HotAC show, the oldest song in the countdown is now "Don't Know Why" at 32 weeks. Given that this chart typically sees songs hanging around for twice that long ("Drops Of Jupiter" anyone?), I find this quite an improvement.

Meanwhile, over on the pop chart, I've noticed that a great many former top 10 hits are falling below #20 without going recurrent and then remaining on the chart for several weeks afterward. Compare this to a few years ago when pretty much every top 10 song had long surpassed the 20-week mark by the time it fell below #20, and therefore fell clean off the chart.

Has anybody else notice this? Do you think it's a positive trend or just a fluke?
