American Top 40 (Guest Host Lauv) - August 24, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "Find U Again" by Mark Ronson featuring Camila Cabello, "Paradise" by Bazzi, "Summer Days" by Martin Garrix featuring Macklemore and Patrick Stump and "Cool" by the Jonas Brothers, which spent 17 weeks on the chart peaking at #10 last month.

New this week, Marshmello and Kane Brown's collab "One Thing Right" debuts at #36 and Zara Larsson's latest "All The Time" hits the chart at #34.

While Miley Cyrus scores her 11th AT40 hit with "Mother’s Daughter." As the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, that gives her more than any other second generation female singer except for Whitney Houston (29). Lower on the list, there’s Nancy Sinatra(10) and Natalie Cole (8).

And the highest debut of the week is "Boyfriend" by Ariana Grande and Social House landing at #28. Social House is currently the opening act on Ari's Sweetener Tour.

In the Top 3 this week, Shawn Mendes moves up one spot to #3 with "If I Can't Have You." If he can make it to the top, this will be his third #1 following "Stitches" and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back."

Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber hold for a second week at #2 with their collab "I Don't Care."

And Billie Eilish holds for a second week at #1 with "bad guy." She will also be performing at this year's Daytime Stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 21st alongside and incredible lineup including Juice WRLD, Maren Morris, Lauv and more!

Wow, awesome piece of info with the first artists born in each decade to hit # 1. Tiffany and JoJo are a lot alike where they only scored hits while in their teens and both artists have been absent from the charts since their teen years. I think Billie will be more like Britney though and be a mainstay on the charts for years.

Debbie Gibson had to be the second from the 70s. She hit #1 in June, 1988 with Foolish Beat. She's the youngest artist in history to write, sing and produce a #1 Hot 100 single.

Debbie was born in 1970 and Tiffany in 1971.

And how about the 1960s? I have no idea. I'd guess Brenda Lee for the 1940s and maybe Stevie Wonder for the 1950s.

The first solo artist I could find born in the 1960s to have an AT40 #1 was Whitney Houston in 1985. The first lead singer of a group to do so was Boy George of Culture Club; the first group/duo with all its members born in the 60s was Wham! (George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley both)
