American Top 40 - August 3, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "Chlorine" by Twenty One Pilots, also Travis Scott's collab with The Weeknd "WAKE UP" and "Look Back at It" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

New this week, SHAED debuts with "Trampoline." They're the latest act to spell their name in all caps, following ABBA, AWOLNATION, BØRNS, HAIM, INOJ, MAGIC!, MAX, OMI,NOTD and SZA, to name a few.

The Jonas Brothers continue their comeback on AT40 with "Only Human," while they still have two other hits on the countdown: "Cool" and their recent #1 "Sucker."

And last week Ed Sheeran and Khalid were in the Top 2 on separate hits competing for #1, but this week they’re teaming up on "Beautiful People," the highest debut of the week coming in at #33.

Post Malone scores the biggest mover of the week with "Goodbyes" featuring Young Thug, up 19 spots to #20.

In the Top 3, Billie Eilish holds for a second week at #3, while Khalid drops down one spot to #2 with "Talk," after spending three weeks at the top of the chart.

And Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber hit #1 with "I Don’t Care" – the fourth #1 for Ed and the 7th #1 for Justin. To date, these are two most successful solo men from outside the U.S. so far this decade. How long will they stay at #1? We’ll find out in the weeks to come!

Can't wait. Oh by the way, where are the Op. Extras?

[johnnywest]

"Goodbyes" must be the biggest mover of 2019.

You are correct.

[Glass Joe]

Almost just a handful of hits that debuted in 2018 remain:
Happier, Close to Me, Sunflower, Better, High Hopes, Eastside, and Without Me.
The first 4 out of those 7 will likely be off by the end of the month, leaving the 3 songs that will probably be the year end top 3.

Also, could Halsey still get # 1 for the year? After High Hopes rebounded unexpectedly a few weeks ago, it looks like she may have to PANIC, because she might have lost the top spot.

They played 14 extras not including the 4 optional ones. Is that the most ever?

I think so. They could really be AT60 if they wanted too. Or AT50 with a few requests thrown in.

I wish they would play less extras. It seems every segment has an extra thrown in there. It becomes annoying especially the extras that have just fallen off the chart.

That's a good way to put it. Yet during Rick Dees old year end format, he used to play # 100 to # 41 in part 1 and the top 40 as part 2. His Part 1 covered 60 songs. Even though he skipped quite a few songs from those first parts, maybe he could have fit them all in.

I agree they are playing too many extras. I wish they would stop playing the old extras and only play the new extras (breakouts and on the verges). I think it's time they shorten the show. They're supposed to be counting down the top 40 record of the week, not oldies. If they want to keep the show at 4 hours long, then why don't they play the top 50 records of the week.
