It’s the start of another weekend, which means it’s time for another trip back into the archives on Adam’s Top 40 Flashback! Every Saturday, the day before my latest top 40 goes up for the week, I feature the highlights of a past countdown. They’re all here — the hit songs, the songs that flopped, and the songs that may be a little embarrassing to reflect on.
This week, we stroll back eleven years and find out what was topping my chart for the week of August 22, 2010:

40. CHRISTINA PERRI, “Jar Of Hearts”
39. GIN BLOSSOMS, “Miss Disarray”
