American Top 40 - October 12, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

It's a busy week on AT40 with five songs leaving the chart and five new songs making their debut.

We say goodbye to "Post Malone" by Sam Feldt featuring RANI, "Easier" by 5 Seconds of Summer, "You Need To Calm Down" by Taylor Swift, "Rescue Me" by OneRepublic and "Eastside" by benny blanco, Halsey and Khalid ends its 58 week run.

New this week, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey debut at #39 with "Don’t Call Me Angel" from the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack. In 2000, Destiny’s Child hit #1 with "Independent Women" for 10 weeks from that Charlie’s Angels film.

Maroon 5 come in at #33 with "Memories." It uses the melody to "Pachelbel’s Canon" from the 1600s. It was also used in "Basket Case" by Green Day (1994), "Don’t Look Back In Anger" by Oasis (1996) and "Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C (2000).

Rapper Lil Tecca gets his first AT40 hit with "Ransom" at #35, while Lizzo scores her third with "Good As Hell."

And Halsey has the highest debut of the week with "Graveyard" at #26.

Camila Cabello has the biggest mover of the week with one of her three songs on the chart, "Shameless." The track debuted last week and moves up four spots to #30.

In the Top 3 this week, newcomer Lewis Capaldi inches up another spot to #3 with his hit "Someone You Loved." Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello hold at #2 for a second week with their collab "Senorita." And Lizzo is at #1 for a second week with "Truth Hurts." How long will she continue to reign the top spot? We'll find out in the weeks to come!

What does the "one-off" mean?

No idea. Could be a special airing inside the show somewhere.

That's a lot of droppers/new entries for one week!

Ties for the week of June 22 for most debuts this year.

I'm going to presume it has something to with HITR being neither top 40 on pop radio nor approaching top 40, unlike what's usually played as breakouts or 'On The Verge' - which are usually top 50 on Mediabase at least.

On that note LMFAO Katy only just being played as an OTV track now when she's long gone from the actual chart; a symptom of this lagging a couple weeks behind.

With You should of fell off this week

Meanwhile, "Easier" gets played as an extra despite falling off the chart this week. It's been a while AT40 has done something like that.

Top 40 Tracker, your placement of the extras was correct based on what I heard on Nile FM and on the iHeart app.

Please don't guess.  It's important for me to know their exact position on the chart.  It's better to wait until someone gives their exact position.

I've always been fascinated how most of you seem to care more about the extras than the actual chart. To me, I could care less about them. They just delay the progress of the Top 40 chart.

But I won't guess in future updates.

Actually I need to know when each record is played so I can plan what, and when, to tape from the show.  So, each and every song position is important to me.

I wish they would only play current music, and not music from the past.  Thank you very much for posting the chart.

Looks like Beautiful People is losing steam, Boyfriend has peaked at #9

The last time that Whitney Houston made AT40 was in 2000 with Enrique Iglesias with Could I Have this Kiss Forever

I was listening just now to the iheart online version of the show. They went from #16 to an unscheduled break and
then to #27. How is it even possible to make such a mistake? It ticks me off!

This is why I stopped listening to the iheart version. Now, I listen to radio stations that air everything, and don't make mistakes like that.

^ I do like the convenience of listening any time, though.
