American Top 40 - April 4, 2015

[jdelachjr2002]

I'm a day late with this only because I was encouraged not to post the playlist on April Fool's Day (blame Libra for this people).

Other than shaking one Taylor Swift hit off the countdown, there's nothing new about this chart.

Plus it might have ended up under the Country board. (Though at least there Taylor Swift at #1 was once a plausible result.)

Waves gained 6 spots that's kinda weird to me...?

Only one debut this week, was hoping for maybe another like "Shut Up And Dance". Anyway, I wonder if "Style" gets one more official week at #1 or if "Sugar" will take over next week on this show.

That it is, even more so by its jumping over Imagine Dragons and Sam Smith. Granted, the former doesn't look like it'll be a substantial hit, but still. Been a while since we've seen a random rebound for an older song like this.

When introducing #1, Ryan mentioned that the only solo women to have three #1s from the same album this decade were Adele, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, although he listed some others who came close.

Well, it's not usually a radical change from week to week, and we do get some movement, and even 2 new breakouts.
I've been rather lazy lately and listening to the same show 2 weeks in a row, though I do get the new songs.
Usher doesn't mind being at #16 for 3 weeks in a row. We get 2 Time songs in the top 10. (3 if you count Four Five Seconds)
Night Changes continues its erratic climb, though it slipped down 3 different weeks already. I noticed that She Knows
and Drake's Headlines both mention the now-defunct soap opera All My Children.

Wait...Shut Up And Dance still isn't on the chart? I know that AT40 is usually behind but rest of the chart is current though (i.e. GDFR in top 20) and SUAD debuted on pop what feels like at least 2 months ago and is currently in the top 20 there...doesn't make sense
