American Top 40 - February 13, 2011

Avril debuted!!!!

[/li][li]I'm not sure what "Bass Down Low" is meant to be. He announced it as the Subway Fresh Buzz Song, so is it a breakout or an extra? I assume it's a breakout since it was the only new non-countdown song played in the first hour, but it's so old that it does baffle me a little. I guess I should learn to never overestimate Ryan.[/quote]

Since it's the first time the song was played on AT40, I'm going with "Breakout". Like you, I, too, refuse to use the words "Subway Fresh Buzz Song".[/quote]

Okay. Yeah, it makes most sense like that, but it's been charting steady for a long time, has a bullet (was dropping for a while I think) and mainly isn't gaining enough that it would make the top 40, unless it gets a big rebound. Ah well, it's Ryan Seacrest.

[/li][li]When "Born this Way" was played, I'm pretty sure Ryan announced it, but it appeared in my station's log, which only their programming (non-AT40) does, usually. Is it station technical errors, or was it not part of AT40? I need someone listening to another station to confirm for me.[/quote]

Must've been a random extra thrown in on your stations. Definitely wasn't played here. Nor does it show up on the stations I've tracked on yes.com.[/quote]

Okay, removed it.

Most likely, the show was produced and everything before there would've been any hope of including it. (i.e. before yesterday)

Thanks, Slizzard, for posting very well-presented and informative AT40 charts. It's good that the last segment is back to just the top 2 again. Now we can vote for the Subway FreshBuzz song, complete with grammar error (who's):

He spoils the suspense at the beginning again by announcing there is a new number one song.
