Glad to see "Living For Love" will at least get some exposure on here (as it may not make the chart, even though it did crack the pp chart for a week). AT40 looks to air some 353 times over the weekend in the USA- has anyone kept a tally of how many stations playing it are part of the Mediabase pop panel? Thanks, in advance. :)

so im curious to know how "Give Me All Your Luvin" by Madonna made a debut on AT40 in 2012 and received absolutely NO Airplay on my local CHR Station and "Girl Gone Wild" Debuted on Rick Dees and got No Airplay where i am but "Living For Love" has been almost overplayed in my area and it might not make a debut on either chart? is there something im missing or not understanding? it upsets me because Madonna is great and "Living For Love" is definitely her best lead single since "Hung Up" from her 2005 album "Confessions On a Dancefloor"

^If AT40 follows the Mediabase charts, then LFL may eke out a week on the chart- perhaps next week, following its Buzz Song status?

If the CHR panel has 170+ stations, one station isn't going to make a difference.

Did anyone catch when Ryan interviewed Kelly Clarkson? What did they talk about? My Internet connection kept going out on me throughout almost the whole show. >:(

[johnnywest]

She said she's got a duet with John Legend on her new album and she put hardwood floors on her tour bus.

I remembered the AT40 App on my phone and heard it last night. Thank you for telling me anyway. I appreciate it a lot.

There was a cold start again. We got 2 "Love Me" songs in a row, and Taylor replaced herself at #5. I'm still loving Shake It Off.
Bad placement of extras at the end of the first hour, and in the last hour: 10, extra, 9, extra. Ryan cleverly introduced Night Changes by reminding us to change our clocks if we're in a daylight savings time zone. He said that Madonna's new CD comes out Tuesday. That she has more top 40 hits,55, than any other woman, and 15 #1's. Also that she hit the top 40 every year from '83 till '06.

-- 34 (01) Tori Kelly - Nobody Love (34)

While teasing this debut, Ryan mentioned that we were, now, up to 48 hits by American Idol alums. With the help of Wikipedia, I made a list:

Artist - AI Season (* = Non-Finalist) (Number of Charted Singles)
Kelly Clarkson - 1 (19)
Kimberley Locke - 2 (1)
Clay Aiken - 2 (1)
Mario Vazquez - 4* (1)
Bo Bice - 4 (1)
Carrie Underwood - 4 (1)
Chris Daughtry - 5 (8)
Elliott Yamin - 5 (1)
Katharine McPhee - 5 (1)
Jordin Sparks - 6 (5)
David Archuleta - 7 (1)
David Cook - 7 (2)
Adam Lambert - 8 (2)
Kris Allen - 8 (1)
Tori Kelly - 9* (1)
Phillip Phillips - 11 (2)
Total - (48)

It seems likely that this total will increase to 49 in the near future as Jennifer Hudson (season 3) is featured on Iggy Azalea's current single ("Trouble").

Five artists appeared three times each in this show. Who are they?

[jjose712]

Tori was very lucky not making the top 24 the year. Season 9 was a disaster
