Ah yes. Perfect. The song that just won't DIE!

What an interesting turnout. Why was Old Town Road not a breakout last week. Perfect please fall off next week!

I bet "Bad Liar" falls off the chart next week.

According to the official facebook post of the AT40, those two Taylor songs ("Look What You Made Me Do" and "ME!") and "Gotta Be Somebody" by Nickelback which entered the Hot AC chart up at #12 back in 2008 are the Top 3 highest debuts of this century.

Thank you for always posting these charts, Upland! Although I’m not always able to hear the show, I do enjoy looking at the list. There are much more diverse extras here due to the Hot AC format.

I enjoyed the #1 story recently on Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper being the first 2 stars from a movie to score a #1 duet from the soundtrack, with the closest being John Travolta & ONJ with “You’re The One That I Want” from “Grease” peaking at #3.

I enjoy this version of AT40 way more than the CHR version.
