American Top 40 - July 20, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "Walk Me Home" by Pink, "So Close" by NOTD, Felix Jaehn and Captain Cuts featuring Georgia Ku, "All My Friends" by AJ Mitchell and 5 Seconds of Summer end their 54-week run with "Youngblood," which spent 3 weeks in the top spot back in September/October of last year.

New this week, Martin Garrix debuts with "Summer Days," featuring Macklemore & Patrick Stump. Martin first hit the countdown in 2014 with a song called "Animals," and with just a couple words, is the closest thing we’ve had to an instrumental so far this decade.

Also, Bazzi returns to the chart with "Paradise," while A Boogie wit da Hoodie gets his first AT40 hit with "Look Back at It."

And the highest debut is “Someone You Loved” by newcomer Lewis Capaldi coming in at #32. Lewis is a cousin of Peter Capaldi who appeared on the Dr. Who series as the Twelfth Doctor from 2014-17.

Taylor Swift had the highest debut last week [#22] with "You Need To Calm Down" and this week the track is the biggest mover, moving up 10 spots to #12.

In the Top 3, the Jonas Brothers drop down one spot from last week to #3 with "Sucker," while Ed Sheeran and Justin Biebermove up 2 spots into the #2 spot with "I Don't Care."

And Khalid holds onto the #1 spot for a second week in a row with "Talk." How long can he stay in the top spot? We'll find out in the weeks to come!

It will be interesting to see where “ME!” lands. It’s taken a big hit at CHR and may not even be on this chart.

If it falls right off this week, it would have had only nine weeks on AT40 and none lower than #12–one of the oddest runs ever for a countdown hit that doesn’t have some special factor affecting it (like a Christmas song or something.)

It’s range would be 7-12 lol.

I will say this, my prediction chart is a bit slower than the actual chart for the weekend. You just never know how AT40 will rack and stack from week to week.

On a side note, this is the latest, in any month, in AT40 history, that we finally hear the host of the show countdown the Top 40 of the week.

Tied for it, at least. In 1974 AT40 listeners also didn't hear such a countdown hosted by Casey Kasem until July 20: 7/6/74 was a special of the Top 40 Acts of the 70s to that point (and thus not the top 40 of the week), and 7/13/74 was guest hosted.

Actually, looking back, in January 1988 we didn't hear a regular AT40 with the regular host (Casey) until the weekend of the 23rd/24th: 1/2/88 was the top 100 of 1987, and 1/9 and 1/16 were hosted by Charlie Van Dyke.

^^^Didn't he host that special? And, didn't he play the Top 100 in early January? I'm simply referring to the actual host not hosting the show this late into the month.

Yes, but you said "the top 40 of the week", which I interpreted as meaning that particular week's top 40 songs, not the previous year's biggest hits or any other special.

If nothing else the June 29-July 13, 2019 stretch is probably is the first time in AT40 history when there have been three different guest hosts in a row. (This happened as Ryan spent at least part of the time on his other regular TV and radio duties, so he wasn't on vacation for three full weeks, and didn't seem sick or anything.)

^^^Thanks. I added to main post.

Very odd that T Swift has the biggest dropper and the biggest mover in the same week.

Not odd at all!
