The two rules for a song that would still position to fall off the chart are:

> 20 weeks on chart, falls below #50
> 52 weeks on chart, falls below #25

They can't even keep rules right. It was 50 and up for Radioactive iirc -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 4, 12:28 1
- It prompted the one year rule to clear out the top 40 a little faster. -- nm - Tim Aug 4, 12:41
What would happen if it jumped back up to #24? -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:38 1
- Weird/sudden boosts in sales/airplay/streams are handled on "case by case basis" per Billboard. - Tim Aug 4, 11:40
