American Top 40 - April 19, 2014

[Cerebro]

No, the iHeart stations's STILL not playing it, yet. But I was able to locate it on the web site (hey, it's a start). So all of the extras are still unknown. jdelachjr2002, once again, saves the day with extras . Also from the site, it looks like the Subway Fresh Buzz Song will either be "G.U.Y." or "The Big Bang" (the third option is "Summer", but that's already charting).

I'm also anticipating that "Sing" will turn up among the extras, somewhere.

[jdelachjr2002]

According to a source I just got from apparently the people that handle the AT40 shows for iHeart Radio are in Ohio (for vacation I'm not sure).

[musiciscool]

Wow, "Wake Me Up" is now the oldest song on AT40 with 34 weeks. The fact that Avicii is only at #27 and holding on is amazing.

And since "Find You" is nowhere to be seen, I'm betting it will, probably, be On The Verge, again. Since it lost it's bullet on Mediabase, I'm wondering if it will, actually, chart here. Next week seems likely to be it's last shot at squeezing in a week.

Bizarre that CC would let a product go outdated while a whole department goes on vacation.

I believe the first terrestrial station to air AT40 is Virgin Radio Dubai, Fridays at 8 a.m. their time. That's midnight tonight EDT. But sometimes the show is heavily edited.

Next stop would be Hit FM in Beijing, which has the show at 8 p.m. Friday EDT. No edits there but the stream is not too dependable.

Last I checked, stations in Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Australia run the show early Saturday morning EDT. TNL Radio in Sri Lanka speeds up the show. Fly FM in Malaysia and Hot 100 in Australia were both good. But I haven't checked these in a while. I've gotten spoiled by hearing the show on iHeart.

Hey, iHeart, please fix this!!

AT40 Update: From my source, apparently the show wasn't transmitted to the iHeart Radio people yet so hopefully it will be up soon.

In the meantime, here are the extras I got

Optional Extra: Beyonce featuring Jay-Z - Crazy In Love (after #31)
On The Verge: Zedd featuring Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant - Find You (after #26)
Optional Extra: Ne-Yo - Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) (after #21)
SUBWAY Fresh Buzz Song: Katy Tiz - The Big Bang (after #18)
Optional Extra: Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop (after #11)
Two-For-One: Demi Lovato - Heart Attack (after #8)

Well..nuts! As I'm heading out of town for the holiday, I hoped to listen to the show before I left (or, at least, record it to throw on my iPod). So much for that...

Kinda interesting that Demi Lovato gets the Two-For-One treatment. She appeared on American Idol last night.

Also pretty interesting to see "Hey Brother" at the top 10. Proof that they do use a mid-week chart since it reached the top 10 before the Published chart that week it was taken.

Doesn't really prove anything. Sometimes they seem to use mid-week data. Sometimes, the data is more closely aligned with the published chart. I think they're working around Ryan's schedule more so than sticking to any fixed chart.

Does anybody else notice that "Crazy In Love" and "Forget You" are optional extras so often than others? I just know I heard those 2 before as optional extras many times before.

[johnnywest]

You're probably thinking of Rick Dees. One play per year for optional extras on AT40 seems to be the average. And so far, both songs follow that same pattern.

Crazy In Love:

April 19, 2014
April 6, 2013
March 10, 2012
I don't see any plays for 2011

Forget You:

April 19, 2014
September 28, 2013
August 11, 2012
I don't see any optional plays in 2011; last charting date was October 29, 2011

The new show is still nowhere to be found, yet, on the iHeart station. Per goodguy's suggestion, I'm, currently listening on this station. The stream quality seems pretty good. Station site is here: hitfm.cri.cn/

The direct link to the stream is: 58.68.255.152/hitfm.mp3

[goodguy]

For anyone interested, all the stations I mentioned are also available via TuneIn.

[jdelachjr2002]

Just out of curiosity which AT40 stations are capable of playing all four optional extras (either CHR or HAC since they're the same anyways)?

[jdelachjr2002]

Hi all,

Has anybody had any luck recording Seacrest's AT40 shows (especially getting the missing op extras)?

So far I've only been able to get the Cee-Lo extra. I'm missing the other three. Need help.

On Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons, 92.7 KTPZ airs AT40 - they always play the optional extras. It's a CHR station format.

I haven't listened to KIIS in a while. Last I knew, they usually played all the extras. It's Ryan's "home" station, these days, so I guess that's not surprising.

[jasonharper2004]

last 3 month only play 1 or 2 extreas on sunday but on Saturdays play 3-4

[richie]

We get 3 S songs in a row to start, ABC songs(14-12), and a couple of "... Of My Life" songs.
Lady Gaga is still being promoted this week. Ryan talked some more to Ed Sheeran. Ryan called
#Selfie, just Selfie. That song is infectious. It seems like they could have a couple of breakouts
each week. Oh well.

[Libra]

I'm actually thinking next week will be a little more plentiful in the debut department. On the comparable Mediabase, there's four Top 40 droppers - all of which are actually still in the survey here now.

So what would debut to replace them? Sing and G.U.Y., for starters. This next week is when Sing would finally show up on AT40's tracking, so it's possible that it might fall short for them - but given it's extremely fast impact, they really would be doing themselves no favors by holding it back another week. As for G.U.Y., it's been extra-played for 3 weeks now - time to debut.

Given two more debut slots, I'm thinking one might actually go to Find You (also extra-played for 3 weeks), even if it's to be for just the one-week stay. The fourth? "She Looks So Perfect" by 5 Seconds of Summer - which probably would have made more sense as this week's Buzz Song instead of Clear Channel's pet project "The Big Bang".

...s**t. It just dawned on me that that's probably going to take either Zedd's or 5SOS's debut spot.

[Cerebro]

Just checked the iHeart station, out of curiosity. The 4/12 show is STILL playing. It seems they never got 4/19. I hope they get back on track and, properly, switch over to 4/26 later today.
