American Top 40 (Hot AC) - May 11, 2019

[upland1425]

Ryan mentioned that this is the first time in the AT40 chart history that two stars in the same movie hit the #1 from the soundtrack. The closest record was "You Are The One That I Want" by Olivia Newton John & John Travolta from Grease which hit #3 in 1978.

Ryan explained that pop songs are getting shorter and nearly half the songs on the AT40 are under 3 minutes in length, which has not happened since early 1970s. This is because artists would like their fans to listen to the song multiple times in a row, because the streaming sales, by which artists earn royalties based on the number of the song streamed, overtook digital downloads in 2015.
Eventually, 56 songs (CHR) and 55 songs (HAC), respectively, were played this week.

You have #10 twice. You have #10 where #11 is supposed to be.

Glad it finally made it! I’m not sure of the record for the slowest climb to #1 on HAC (it’s “Eastside” on CHR) but I remember that “Breakeven” took a very long rise and may have held the record back then. Or maybe “Chasing Cars.”

Oh. I thought there were two #10s this week.

I will check the record. One thing which should also be noted is, unlike other contenders of the slowest climb to #1 records, this song has a record of the highest debut in 2018 at #17.

FYI, "Easetside" by benny blanco, Halsey & Khalid - 28 weeks to #1 on the Top 40/CHR show.
