What does it mean when a song "goes recurrent"?

Basically, when a song reaches the top part of an airplay chart, it is given one chance to get as high as it can on the chart. Once the song has peaked and starts declining in airplay, it is designated as "recurrent" and is removed from the chart so as to give other songs their opportunity. This keeps the chart fresh with up-and-coming new songs. The criteria for determining when a song is declining varies. For Mediabase, it is generally when a song goes down in airplay for 3 straight weeks and may require that the song has dropped below a certain position on the chart. For Billboard, it usually requires that the song was on the chart for at least a certain number of weeks, is below position on ther chart, and is declining in airplay.
