Yay! Also, One Dance should be like #20 next week.

[somebodyrandom1]

pillow talk is number one ! i took a pill in whatever its caled will be numer one right ?

[johnnywest]

^Hard to tell. Looks like "7 Years" has a good shot of being the next #1 after "Pillowtalk."

[cookie111]

• Lots of debuts like I predicted, including Pitbull's first hit since last summer. Messin' Around is the second collabo between Mr. 305 and Enrique. I'm pretty sure it won't do much damage here like I Like It (#2 in 2010).
• It's amazing how Hands To Myself is now out of the Top 10, three weeks after being #1.
• Now with Taylor gone, we now enter the phase where we anticipate Taylor's next record to come out. I had a gut that New Romantics would last the same amount of time as Out Of The Woods.
• I'm sort of annoyed with Jeremih's Oui, yet I never heard the song entirely. It's just that whenever I open a friend's Snapchat, that song is always playing.
• #7 will most likely be the peak of Meghan Trainor's No. I'm actually a little surprised, though. I thought it would make the Top 5 at least.
• With no doubt, Cake By The Ocean will not make it to #1, considering the fact that it's now losing airplay. If it did, it'd break the record for slowest climb ever to the top.

[Mike is BAD]

Cake by the Ocean came out like 9 months ago and only now is it at its peak of popularity. Though this is going to be one of the MANY DNCE hits over the next 20 years or however long the band lasts.

[johnnywest]

"Oui" will be the first French title on AT40 since Beyoncé's "Deja Vu" in 2006.

[Cerebro]

As Ryan mentioned, "Kiss It Better" becomes Rihanna's 41st top 40 single (I'm presuming that all her featured appearances are counted in that total). This ties her with James Brown and The Rolling Stones for the most of all time.

[johnnywest]

And history is made on AT40 as we have the first Z act at #1. Not Zedd, ZZ Top or Warren Zevon just Zayn.

Zager & Evans pre-date AT40. ;)

Bing Crosby had the most of all time with over 300 top 40 hit singles.  And since 1955, Elvis Presley had 104, Elton John had 55, The Beatles had 51, Stevie Wonder had 46.  What time period are you talking about?  Doesn't "All time" mean since hit singles first started, in the 1890's?

The stat didn't sound bulletproof to me, either. I thought of several of the acts that you mentioned, Arnold, and thought many of them may have had more. Ryan didn't cite a time period, so who knows what period this would be. AT40 is subjective, that way.

And then eventually "Needed Me" by Rihanna will be entry #42.

I assume he means rock era, which is what Casey would use unless otherwise specified. Although it wasn't worded correctly, he meant that's how many those other acts had for their totals. At least that's how he mentioned it last week since he also said that for women, only Madonna had more.

• Great week
  
  • This week was similar to when What Do You Mean went from 3 to 1 and The Hills stayed at 2. I usually don't see that coming.
    
    • Pitbull and Enrique seem to be making a lot of music around summertime
    • Cake By The Ocean will probably spend less time on AT40 than Stitches
    • I expect at least 2 debuts next week
    • Its sad to see Hello leave within 4 weeks if not next week
    • A week with 1 debut is rare. It happened last week. It last happened I think when Downtown debuted and peaked at 8 despite only spending 11 weeks on the countdown
    • NO debuted at 21 and will most likely not even make the top 5. NO and CFMF had the same first 3 weeks except CFMF was at 9 and NO was at 10 in 3 weeks
      • Kiss It Better and Needed Me are like Can't Feel My Face and The Hills. The Hills debuted first on the hot 100 but CFMF got more popular first on the hot 100 and AT40. Needed Me debuted first on the hot 100 but KIB is going to get more popular first on AT40.
