American Top 40 - August 13, 2011

Just edited a few things, but the correct chart is all set.

And speaking of songs that won't die, "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" also moves back up five notches, from 38-33. This occurs as Enrique's followup, "Dirty Dancer", falls off the countdown.

Another interesting occurrence; Rihanna and J. Lo both have hits situated back to back, and right next to one another to boot.

Hopefully Foster the People debut next week. :)

Next week Dynamite could take a 32-39 big drop, with Tonight I'm Loving You dropping 33-40.

I've never liked Dynamite, I don't get it why he is staying in top40 for so long

I just listened to this weekend's show and the guest hosts were really fun to listen too and they actually talked about the songs they were playing, while endorsing their Glee 3D movie at every opportunity....they also cracked jokes on why Ryan wasn't there. It was a good show...and, as predicted...lots of HOT chart movement action...especially for a GUEST HOSTED AT40 show...

Okay guys/gals....if you want to preview next week's show to see how your favorites hits are doing coast to coast...see my predicted chart below...it should answer all of your questions above:

Dynamite is expected to stay on for at least another 4 weeks: 32-35-36-34-33....
This would take its AT40 chart run to 61 weeks by 11 Sep 11 weekend show.

Expect a high debut for Pitbull f/ Marc Anthony.

Also, the "song of the summer" will debut, Pumped up Kicks....NBC Nightly News that title to the song on last night's show.

Rihanna's California King Bed should fall out of the survey from #26. If that doesn't happen, expect Hello to drop. Either way...we will see three debuts next week.

That also means we will say goodbye to two long running songs...Perfect and Stars are expected to bow out next weekend.

He and the American Idol judges have been on tour this summer. It's easier to have a guest host then for him to do both. Here are the audition cities:


St. Louis, Missouri June 28, 2011
Portland, Oregon July 2, 2011
San Diego, California July 8, 2011
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania July 15, 2011
North Charleston, South Carolina July 22, 2011
Denver, Colorado July 29, 2011
Houston, Texas August 26, 2011

That is a good point. This COULD be the Hot AC chart where you still have 3 songs on there from 2009 for God's sake!!

I hated all that giggling they were doing.
