American Top 40 - December 14, 2019

[Top 40 Tracker]

This week we say goodbye to only one song, "Liar" by Camila Cabello. The track spent 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #15.

New this week, the only debut is "ROXANNE" by newcomer Arizona Zervas. Back in 1979, The Police had a song titled "Roxanne," but this hit is about a real girl Arizona wanted but couldn’t have.

The biggest mover of the week goes to French Montana jumping up 6 spots to #33 with "Writing On The Wall" featuring Post Malone, Cardi B & RVSSIAN. From Morocco, French is the latest African act to hit the Top 40, following artists like Sade (Nigeria), Ya Kid K (Zaire), Cheb Mami (Algeria) and Rozalla (Zambia).

In the Top 3 this week, Lewis Capaldi holds at #3 for a second week with "Someone You Loved." While Post Malone stays at #2 with "Circles," also for a second week. And Lizzo spends her second week in the top spot with "Good As Hell."

The song took a very long time to reach its peak, considering it was released in March 2016. Over the years, it’s been heard in films like Barbershop: The Next Cut, A Bad Moms Christmas and Blockers. How long will Lizzo stay at #1? We'll find out in the weeks to come!

Hope so. But something's missing...

But are you ready for the Top 40s of 2019 next weekend?

[Top 40 Tracker]

I know the extras are missing. I dont have the info yet. And, of course I'm ready for the year and decade countdowns.

It sure is a good thing you're here to hassle those who post the chart every single week about the damn extras because otherwise they'd never ever get posted. God's work is what you're doing

[Top 40 Tracker]

I understand the frustrations about the extras, but I'll post the extras as soon as I get the info. That info doesn't come to me the same time each week. Some weeks I get it early, some I get late and maybe some weeks I won't even get them until the show airs.

Your dedication is very much appreciated!

I wonder what will be the #1 song of the decade will be, it should be Dynamite since it spent 72 weeks on AT40

[Top 40 Tracker]

These are my year and decade predictions.

2019:

I hope he get some info about the breakouts and otv this weekend...

[mkarns]

Of this weekend's Breakouts or On the Verges, "Mother", "Take What You Want", "I'm Not Alright", and "(f*** i'm) lonely" are already declining or seem stalled, with none having reached higher than the upper 30's. With AT40 "frozen" (no new shows) for two weeks, it's possible none of the four may actually chart on the countdown at all.

Yeah... you could see songs like "Adore You", "RITMO", "We Made It", "everything i wanted", "Good Thing", "Make You Mine", "South Of The Border" and "Walking" be in the mix in January for debuting or as Breakouts ..."Make It Right" & "Heartless" could be debuting for sure

YESSS!!! MY FAVORITE SONG, Dua Lipa's "NEW RULES", the #1 song of 2018 is now an extra! Thanks!

Extras - New Rules; Thunder

I'll check where these appear when the show airs in other places later today and I'll update this post.

Update: "New Rules" is an extra after #31.

Update: "Thunder" is an extra between #17 and #16.

[Fire]

I wonder if Lucid Dreams will be played on the Hot AC show.

There is no frustration about the extras. You do a fabulous job. It's just that the robotic momzquotes seems to consider you a machine with no consideration for the concept of time and ability.

Are we certain that we're going to get the Top 40 of the year next week (I'm sure that's a lock) AND the top 40 of the Decade the week after?? Or could we wind up disappointed an hear the top 40 of the year 2 weeks in a row per usual.

I know we're all hoping history repeats itself (AT40's Top 50 of 1979, & AT40's TOp 50 of the 70's; Casey's Top 40 of 1989 followed by Casey's top 40 of the 80's; AT40's top 40 of 1999, followed by AT40's Top 40 of the 90's; AT40's Top 100 of 2009, followed by AT40's Top 40 of the 2000's)[However this was missed at the end of the 80's on AT40, as I recall, only Shadoe Stevens AT40 Top 100 of 1989 was the only decade end offering], but has there be any official word on the matter??

Also, does anyone have any inside info on what I Heart radio is gonna do? I assume the "NEW" normal of doing the top 50 of 2019?!?!?! And no Top 50? of the decade? "the 20-tween's an 20-teens". I realize I-heart Radio only started doing year end's in 2013, surely they must have data though.

RIP Juice Wrld (1998-2019)

Thanks Top 40 Tracker.

Sorry if I get so "repeated". Maybe we should wait the exact time.

Hey: Dancing With A Stranger has been on the chart for 44 weeks/entered weekend of Feb.16-17...Lover has been on the chart 13 weeks/entered weekend of Sept. 21-22...& Panini has been on the chart 16 weeks/entered weekend of Aug. 31-Sept. 01...just clarifying (correcting) those weeks on numbers. Meant to reply on those clarifications much earlier. Thank You 🙏🏻 for all your work each week 🙋🏼‍♂️

[Top 40 Tracker]

Thanks for catching that. I'm not sure how I keep screwing that up each week because I simply add a week from the week prior. I'll figure a way to prevent these mistakes in future updates.
