Cruel Summer rose 6 spots? 💪💪💪💪💪

[gemini44]

It was odd for Fortnight to debut at #33 in the first place, that was so random

[chickythelittlechicken]

“Something odd for our longest running song at 46 weeks, it’s up 6 spots”

[musiciscool]

Very nice and surprising to hear "Replay" by Zendaya as an extra. The show needs to play more extras like this, not the same ones they play over and over again.

Agreed. They really need to lay off on "Yeah", "DJ Got Us Fallin In Love", "Lose Yourself", and "Mirrors", just to name a few.

[pmbeditor]

Two songs rising and falling by 20 as fastest riser and biggest fall. That's got to be rare.

[pop]

Beyoncé Knowles is about getting ready to tumble hard too either next week or the following by close to 20 notches with ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’.

.... Rihanna as well

Got another trivia question, and you might see me doing this more often. There was a four-way back-to-back of songs in the C-scale. Can you guess which ones they are?

That would be songs 27-24.

A little fun fact here. Beautiful Things is the first song by an American Idol contestant to rip the chart since Stronger by Kelly Clarkson back in 2012. The only other Idol artists to have a #1 hit on AT40: Chris Daughtry and Jordin Sparks.

Tate McRae still in that top 10 with ‘Greedy’ from starting the year at number 1 and we are in Mid May. It has to be a record in this regard. It also has to be a good start for most plays of the year with the official tabulations in mediabase 24/7 recording from Nov to Nov. This song should have one more week in the top 10 on the AT40 countdown

Yes. That rise in the chart may have made ‘Cruel Summer’ by Taylor Swift have chart life into the actual summer 2024. We will see the direction it takes next chart.
