I'd be surprised if it was a mistake. You'd think Billboard would have some kind of computer program that automatically makes the data go recurrent once it falls below the cutoff number (but perhaps they don't). My guess it's some unknown criteria. But I guess we'll find out for sure next week.

I know people over on Pulse were saying it's because Carrie has an active song on the charts from the album ,whichi is BHC on some recurrent charts. The problem is we've not sure if this counts as 'active'. Anyway, someone emailed Billboard, so we should find out why soon. Thanks for the update Cary.
