Carrie mention in GWR book

ejohnson · 10-04-2008, 06:03 PM

I was flipping through the new Guinness World Records 2009 book while I was stuck at Costco last weekend while waiting for my mom. I was bored but then, I found a Carrie mention! I took notes on my cell phone but could not fit everything(I paraphrased): Carrie is on page 166 around the center, and the paragraph talks about Before He Cheats being the slowest climber on the Hot 100 chart for a total of 38 weeks(updated record). I forget if there is a picture of her or not. I wanted to buy the $20-30 book since Carrie was in it, but my mom would've been mad.
I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet since the GWR book just came out September 17th.

I had not heard about this. Is the BHC's slow rise the only mention?

BHC had a slow rise?

In a manner of speaking. BHC actually peaked 3 times during its run. The 1st peak was after 11 weeks at #16. This was from country airplay and Christmas digital sales. It started dropping, but the Hot AC airplay picked up, as did the digital sales. So it peaked at #17 after 18 weeks. Again BHC started dropping. Then came the slow climb due to Hot AC and Top 40 airplay and the digital sales to the pop crowd. This resulted in its highest peak at #8 after 38 weeks.
