American Top 40 - September 21, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to "The Git Up" by Blanco Brown, "Mother's Daughter" by Miley Cyrus and Panic! At the Disco's 49 week run with "High Hopes" comes to an end.

New this week, Post Malone debuts with "Circles," the same week as a song titled "Post Malone" by Sam Feldt feating RANI. The last time this happened was in July 1971 with the band Chicago and a song titled “Chicago” debuting at the same time.

And the title track from Taylor Swift's new album Lover, which already scored the biggest one-week sales since her last album Reputation in 2017. Lover debuted at #1 on the album chart after selling more than 700,000 copies.

Chris Brown and Drake score the biggest mover of the week with "No Guidance," the track is up 4 spots to #34.

In the Top 3 this week, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber hold for a third week at #3 with "I Don't Care." While Lizzo holds for a second week at #2.

And Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are spending their third week in the top spot with "Senorita." If the song can hang on for another week, it’ll be the biggest hit of Shawn’s career, passing the 3-week reign of "Stitches" in 2015. Can he make it? We’ll find out!

"Better" is an extra between "Small Talk" and #28.

"Stitches" is an extra after #21.

"Mirrors" did not play on AT40 as aired on HiFM in Oman or on Nile FM in Egypt. I suspect it's after #3 as AT40 often puts an extra there. I'll listen when the show updates on the iHeart app and will update this post at that time.

Update: I guessed wrong. As Arnold points out below, "Mirrors" was an extra between "My Man" and #11.

[Arnold]

Mirrors was played after "My Man", not after number 3

[Arnold]

On the iHeart computer version of AT40, today, around 4pm (eastern time), they played "I don't care"(#3) twice in a row (one ran right into the other). In other words they played "I don't care" continuously for six and a half minutes. Did anybody else here get it that way too?

Extra: Post Malone - Better

This was, actually, Khalid's "Better". The Post Malone song is "Better Now".

[Top 40 Tracker]

Everything is now updated and complete.

Is this the first record same artist gets two breakouts in same time? Like Camila Cabello for example

[johnnywest]

“Liar” samples “All Night Long,” which hit #1 in 1983, and “All That She Wants,” which peaked at #2 in 1993.

[Michael1973]

How is My Man considered "On The Verge?" The song has already fallen hard off the Mediabase Top 50.

[johnnywest]

The chart is usually about 2 weeks behind. Plus Mediabase will sometimes move songs to recurrent even if they haven't been on for 20 weeks, which is what they did in this case.

[momzquotes]

Double check it next time so make sure the charts are official. No mistakes. Thanks.

I hope Truth Hurts will be the new #1 for real.

Anyways, I like M5's "Sugar" though.
