American Top 40 - July 27, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "Me!" by Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie. The track originally debuted on the countdown back in May, spending 10 weeks on the chart and peaking at #7.

But don't worry Swifites, there's good news too! Taylor also reaches the Top 10 in just 3 weeks with "You Need To Calm Down," the fourth song this year to rise that quickly. It follows “7 rings” by Ariana Grande, "Me!" and "I Don’t Care" by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.

New this week, Post Malone debuts with “Goodbyes,” featuringYoung Thug. This is Post’s sixth AT40 hit in 2019, following "Psycho," "Better Now," "Jackie Chan," "Sunflower" and "Wow." How far will his latest climb? We’ll find out in the weeks to come!

Lizzo scores this week’s biggest mover with "Truth Hurts," moving up four spots to #13. Although it’s only been on AT40 for six weeks, it was released two years ago. But thanks to its inclusion in the Neftlix movie Someone Great, it now has a second life. We’ll see how far it goes!

In the Top 3 this week, Billie Eilish inches closer to the top moving up another spot to #3. While Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber's collab "I Don't Care" holds for a second week at #2. And Khalid holds onto the top spot for a third week in a row with "Talk."

I wish they would give songs which recently dropped off the chart a rest and not play them as extras!

Close to same amount of weeks Maroon 5's "This Summer's Gonna Hurt" was on when it moved up fast and flopped hard

Wow! Thank you!

Give em a month or two to play them as extra.... Not the following week

[dirtydave]

I wish AT40 would go by the main chart or at least got rid of recurrents after the Top 20. It is absolutely nonsense to keep em on as long as they do. I think it'd definitley help with their listening audience. I also hate the random censoring, for example, Jonas Brothers "Sucker" has it edited as "getting out of cars, stumbling out of cars" instead of "stumbling out of bars". Makes no sense when, for example Post Malone's reference to liquoi is kept in.

They keep in the recurrents because it more accurately reflects what radio stations are playing. Stations come first before the audience. If you can’t sell the show to stations, there won’t be an audience.

As for censoring, AT40 is playing the radio edits given to them by the labels.

But the radio edit doesnt block out the bars reference.

[mkarns]

If a song about "turnin' the kitchen counter into a strip club" ("Wow") can be a #1 hit, and played as such on AT40, then most affiliates can't be that prudish. As for the Jonas Brothers song, almost every time I've heard it on the radio it says "stumbling out of bars". Maybe AT40 edited it (I'll have to listen a little more closely), but doing so makes no sense, especially when it makes the lyrics redundant (two back-to-back lines saying the same thing about exiting cars.)

News flash to whom it may concern: the Jonas Brothers are all over 21 now and can stumble out of bars if they want, and so likely are a majority of their fans and AT40 listeners. This isn't the Radio Disney or Kidz Bop Top 40.

FWIW I saw "Sucker" being played on NickMusic and they just bleeped out the word "bars" (or something to that effect).
