American Top 40 - April 13, 2019

[jdelachjr2002]

We're clearing the deck as all three of last week's Breakout/On The Verge songs debuted.

But with that comes an incredible AT40 first. For the first time in the 16-year Ryan Seacrest era, The CHR version has FIVE ... count 'em FIVE Breakouts (Granted, they've gone the five Breakout route a few times already but this is the first they've done so with no "On The Verge" tracks).

I've ranted about AT40's excessive use of Breakouts in recent weeks already so I'll just shut up and get to the chart.

Thank you next is dropping so quick and out of existence. Ariana dropped these songs way too fast after each other

I agree. As good as she is, it was real overexposure.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Her album sales, status, and the success of each single would certainly beg to differ.

[Deleted]

Let’s just say. Shotgun will not hit the chart. It’s about to fall off of the Mediabase chart so. Ariana Grande did release singles way to frequently.

[musiciscool]

Ariana bookends the countdown with "God Is A Woman" at #40 and "7 Rings" at #1.

Yes, Ryan mentioned that that was a possibility when introducing #40.

Also, he noted that "Old Town Road" is 1:48, which would be the shortest song in AT40 history when it charts.

Yes, and that would be an AT40 artist born post 9/11, Billie Eilish.

Change Old Time Road to Old Town Road

Well, that too I guess.

What artist, duo or group has had the most singles on the top 40 in a given week prior to Ariana Grande's astounding feat of five. Anyone know? What year did it happen?

Probably Black Eyed Peas way back in 2009 when their singles.  Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, Meet Me Halfway, Imma Be
( not as featured artist)
all occupying the chart for at least a single week. 4 songs at once. so they are 1 single short from Ariana Grande. So I think Ariana made history for it to make 7 weeks in total.. having 5 singles @ once when BWYGIB enter the chart 7 weeks ago.. haha but Ryan did not mention anything..

[johnnywest]

I would say The Beatles with 7 and Elvis with 5. Not sure about duo. Maybe LMFAO or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis had 3 at once.

[gemini79]

Will Sabrina Carpenter ever have a top 10 hit

[gemini79]

Break up with your Girlfriend, I'm bored and Sucker should make a big move next week to hit the top 10

[marc980]

It's too late for Shotgun to enter the chart... I'm kinda sad.

[Glass Joe]

I am thinking Love Lies should definitely beat out New Rules for number of weeks. Actually at this point, the way Youngblood keeps staying put in the high 20s, it may beat out New Rules too.

Billie Eilish is only the second artist to chart that was born in the 2000s. The only other artist so far was Zach from Why Don't We who was born in 2001.

I believe it was the Beatles in 1964 (?)

[nymets86]

20 songs still left in week 15 of 2019 left that debuted in 2018. That l’s very impressive. That number will shrink shortly with Ariana Song 1 and Lovely the Band on the fringe now

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

This chart (the pop radio chart) didn’t start until 1973 or so and while this one is more or less an offshoot of that, rather than the Hot 100, I’d be hesitate to use stats that aren’t direct from pop radio history books.

Yea this was mentioned when they were still above position 20 in week 40+

American Top 40 started in 1970, and used the Hot 100 from then till somewhere around 1990, so I would consider that. The Hot 100 started in 1958.

I believe Willow was born in 2000 and only 10 when she charted with “Whip My Hair.”

That's a good point. I forgot about her, although I didn't think that song ever hit the Top 40.

It did make AT40 in late 2010, IIRC.

Also AT40 officially says that Kaya Stewart and Noah Cyrus, both born in 2000, have also charted solo. Billie Eilish is the first born in 2001 to do so.

[jdelachjr2002]

BTW WFLZ, KIIS and Z100 did play all five of the Breakouts (Z100 cut one of the Breakouts the last two times AT40 did five albeit this is the first they've done five with no "On The Verge").
