American Top 40 - June 29, 2019 (GH MAX)

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "Love Lies" by Khalid and Normani,ending their 59-week run on the chart.

But both artists still have songs on the chart, Khalid with "Talk," "Better" and "Eastside," his team up with benny blanco and Halsey. While Normani is still in the Top 3 with Sam Smith and their collab "Dancing With a Stranger."

The only debut this week is "Medicine" by Jennifer Lopez featuring French Montana, this is her 23rd AT40 hit. The last time she was on the chart was last year with "Dinero" featuring DJ Khaled and Cardi B. Her debut single was "If You Had My Love" in 1999, and she’s had 4 #1s in the years since. How far will her latest climb?

The biggest mover of the week goes to Lizzo with "Truth Hurts," up 9 spots to #25. She just had her AT40 debut last month with "Juice," which spent 2 weeks on that chart, peaking at #38.

In the Top 3, "Dancing With a Stranger" by Sam Smith and Normani continues to hold at #3, while Post Malone stays at #2 with "Wow."

And the Jonas Brothers are spending a 8th non-consecutive week at #1 with "Sucker," making in the longest run at the top for a group since Hoobastank topped the chart with "The Reason" for 8 weeks in 2004.

DROPPER
Khalid & Normani - Love Lies (from #40, 59 weeks on)

[Deleted]

Really JLo?

[mkarns]

With eight weeks on top "Sucker" becomes the longest running #1 in over two years, since "Shape of You"'s 10 weeks in March-May 2017. It's unlikely to get a ninth, though; either "Wow" or "Talk" could be next.

And two long runs of over a year end here: after 59 weeks (the third longest charting hit in AT40 history, I think) no more "Love Lies", and after 54 weeks no Ariana Grande in the top 10.

[johnnywest]

I thought everyone said "Medicine" wasn't gonna debut. What happened?

"Yeah!" appears to be the oldest extra (2004) played so far this year.

Those who said so probably don’t work on the production of AT40 and therefore can really only guess.

"Medicine" is all the way down in the 70's on the Mediabase chart with recurrents. It in no way, shape, or form should have made the top 40. Even if you took reporting panel differences into consideration.

For that matter, "Sicko Mode" is also in the 70's. Yet, it refuses to leave. Much like how they kept "Broken" on for way too long, earlier this year.

Right now or two weeks ago? It made the top 30 chr/pop if I’m not mistaken. Either way I’m sure this will be its only week.

Two weeks ago. From the Sunday June 16th update, "Medicine" was #74 on the "sans recurrent rules" chart. "Sicko Mode" was #71.

What about 3 weeks ago?

The early July chart is always behind anyway. Plus, who goes to AT40 for any kind of accuracy?

[gemini79]

Medicine at will be a one seeker, I'm so happy LL is done, I hope YB goes next week, Wow should be the next #1 next week. I'm really surprised about Yeah, Ryan hasn't played anything that old in years

[gemini79]

I thought Bazzi Paradise would of been an on the verge this week

Lol.

It needs to be a Breakout first.

[musiciscool]

Didn't see "Medicine" debuting. It will probably fall off next week. Unless they decide to take it up to #39 or #38 before dropping it completely.

It better fall off.

What's the difference between a breakout and on the verge

A breakout is when a song comes up on the radar of entering. If it fails to debut the next week, it’s on the verge.

I'm actually surprised and a little happy that Medicine debuted. However, I do believe it's going to suffer the same fate that J-Lo's other song, Do It Well, had in 2007. Of course, it debuted at #40 and fell off the next week. Still one of my favorites though. I agree that Youngblood has stayed way, way too long. IMO, it's not that worthy of a song to last 52 weeks, but expect it to move to #40 and then leave in a week or two. I'm also flabbergasted that Yeah by Usher, a #1 song in 2004, was played as a random extra. The last time I think AT40 played an extra that old was Shakira's Whenever Wherever from 2001, a few years back.

Other thoughts that are running through my mind; Me is losing airplay like crazy right now. It's a darn shame it didn't make the Top 5 at least. I'm also rooting for Katy Perry's Never Really Over to make a big impact here, as well as Halsey's Nightmare, because I'm really digging these tracks. And is Old Town Road going to reach #1? I think the song is trash but only time will tell.

Jury's currently out on how far Katy will go, but she's on the verge of top 10 with real estate in the area about to open up in the next few weeks so I reckon she can pull off at least top 10 on AT40. Halsey looks to be peaking in the teens so she's unlikely to reach the top 10. Lil Nas X has peaked and is currently crashing HARD. He won't be going #1 here.

For a while AT40 wasn't playing any extras that predated 2012-13 or so, but that's changed lately with so much room for extras. Yeah! is a pretty obvious choice considering how huge it was; it was the #1 song of the 2000-09 decade and still gets recurrent play. This week we get three extras from that decade, with "Yeah!", "Low", and "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (not too surprising a choice since Panic!/Brendon shows up three times in the current chart.)

"Old Town Road" is dropping on MB after peaking at #3 or #4 so it's unlikely to reach #1 here. The only songs after "Sucker" that have topped MB to date are "Wow" and "Talk".

Ryan must be taking a long vacation, 3 weeks. They saved the best for last IMO.

Is this the first time AT40 has been guest hosted for three straight weeks since Ryan took over?
