Thanks for putting these up every week! Is it 2 or 3 weeks at #1 for Ellie on AT40. Was thinking it was the latter?

This is Ellie's third week at #1 with "Love Me Like You Do". (Incidentally, "Lights" did the same.)

Thanks for catching that. Of course, Ellie was replaced at #1 on the recent Mediabase chart with fellow "50 Shades of Grey" song "Earned It". Will "Earned It" top AT40 next weekend (or should that be next Weeknd? :))? Tune in next week.

Hahaha, indeed! I'll leave my radio dial right where it is, as Casey used to say :)

Earlier this week I realized that this is the first time a song from the same soundtrack has replaced a song at #1 from the same soundtrack since July of 1998. That year, Alanis Morrissette spent 2 weeks at the top with "Uninvited" which was unseated by the Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" which then lead the chart for 4 weeks. Both these songs were from the "City of Angels" soundtrack. 

I can almost hear Casey Kasum's voice... "And that means we're up to number one song in the USA..." Definitely miss that man on AT40!

I've been listening to old 90s AT40s. I just finished listening to the Top40 of the 90s countdown. I miss Casey.

[musiciscool]

"Jealous" is now the oldest song on AT40 with 33 weeks. If that falls off next week, there will be a three way tie for oldest song with "Lips Are Movin'", "Take Me To Church", and "Blank Space" all at 26 weeks apiece.

Or should that be "Earnd It"? :)

Where did you listen to these old 90s archives? I'm so intrigued.

[Deleted]

Four songs contain "Love" I Need Your Love, Nothing Without Love, Nobody Love And Love Me Like You Do. (5 including the Ne-Yo extra Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself) )


Three songs feature the line worth it-

earned it - "cause baby you're perfect; you're always worth it"

Worth it- (duh)

one last time- "I swear I'll make it worth it"

Also its a shame that Overload never made it on the chart...

If I'm not mistaken, "Overload" is the first Fresh Buzz Song that failed to crack AT40 since New Hollow's "She Ain't You" around this time last year.

Though it should be noted that there are only a little over 21 months of Casey AT40s from the 1990s (March 28, 1998 was the first, and the last would be the decade end special, which is replayed at iHeart Radio.) Before that would be Casey's Top 40.

I believe that's correct. I just went back and looked through since last March and She Ain't You was the only one I could find that didn't chart (5/5/14).  Although a few songs only charted one week, Madonna's Living for Love and Zedd's Find You.

^ Oh, yes you are, Sam.

I forgot to mention that last week Ryan said that Diplo was the first artist in AT40 history
to appear in 2 breakouts during the same weekend. This week we got at least one former #1
every hour. It seems like the names of the artists are getting stranger. I don't mean group
names. Like #40, 38, 35, 34, 31, 29, 28, etc. I really like "I Really Like You."

Good observation. I think that's what Ryan said when introducing the #1 song this week.

He said that this was the first time since 1998 that the top 2 have been from the same movie soundtrack. It can't be the other thing, yet, since "Earned It" hasn't, yet, hit #1. ;)

The poster said that he was listening to one of Casey's countdowns from the 1990s. I want to know where he found them because only his 1970s and 1980s countdowns are syndicated. I would love to hear his 1990s countdowns again either Casey's Top 40 or American Top 40. I loved the shows' jingles from that era.
