I think Ryan recorded this show before the Christmas holiday break in advance. I don't see how he had time to do it this week. He does mention Cardi B's carpool karaoke segment which aired on December 17, 2018. Video posted on AT40.com.

Ryan says it is Benny Blanco.

"but I'm told there will be a sub host next week. Not sure who at this time"

I guess they forgot that next weekend corresponds to Ryan's 15th anniversary of hosting the
show. He took over from Casey Kasem the weekend of January 10, 2004.

Ryan mentions his anniversary on this week's show.

OK, great. Thanks for letting us know!

Ryan said that Why Don't We are newcomers, I guess he forgot Something Different and Trust Fund Baby

[gemini79]

I thought for sure Body would move back up this week

Weird. He mentioned those two songs when they were a breakout a couple of weeks back.

What week was that? I don’t remember Psycho and MIA as breakouts before? I could be wrong.

Ryan must love All the Stars, he sure does play it a lot for an extra

Ryan mentioned "Trust Fund Baby" and "Something Different" when Why Don't We were breakouts. I don't know what week it was. It might have been the week before the year end countdown.
