these are the ones i like. my favorite is stressed out (which is one of my favorites of all time primarily because it was one of the songs that really got me interested in music and the charts in the first place, so it holds a special place in my heart to this day)

[Fire]

This week is the first week where we have no song debuting or falling off since the chart dated November 9, 2019.

24kGoldn and Iann Dior climb up 3 more spots to #7 with "Mood", our fastest rise of the week.

Kygo and OneRepublic sing about sometimes you have to "Lose Somebody", however it unfortunately looks like we are losing their song as it drops 3 spots to #31, the biggest fall of the week.

Justin Bieber and Chance The Rapper climb up to #3 with "Holy". The Weeknd stays put at #2 with "Blinding Lights". And Ava Max holds the #1 for a 6th week with "Kings & Queens"! Can this become the #1 song of 2021? Find out in the weeks to come!

Are you still looking for updates to the station list? I have a couple for you --

1 - in Tucson, AZ there was a station swap as KMIY moves to 97.1 - I think they still play AT40 on Sunday morning at the same time, even though it's not listed on their site

2 - Did you have KEEZ - Mix 99.1 in Mankato, MN on your list? They play the Hot AC AT40 on Saturday mornings at 8 am local time (9 am Eastern)
www.mymix991.com/shows/at40-ryan-seacrest/

I don't think either of those stations is reliable at playing the optionals, but at least they have the rest of the show.

I like Stressed Out, Just Like Fire, Teenage Dream and Poker Face. Good timing with Lady Gaga since she sang at the inauguration this week.

[musiciscool]

My favorite extras this week are: Teenage Dream, Clarity, and Nobody's Love.

The AT40 Rewind had a 1982 snippet of Casey Kasem talking about another song (Alma Gluck - "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny" in the 1910s.) that was the first to sell a million physical copies.

gonna be a completely random thought but i just realize that in 6 months it will officially have been 5 years since i first started listening to at40. i even remember most of the first chart i ever listened to (under the spoiler)

the fact that in july all of these songs will be at least 5 years old is absolutely fucking insane to me. i was 11 when i first started listening to at40, and come next month i'll be 16, and wow all of these songs bring back so many memories for me lol. i think i liked nearly all of these songs back then lmao. some of them have gone down as some of my all time favorite songs (stressed out, ride, 11 blocks, etc), some of these i hated back then that have aged a lot better for me than i expected them to (don't let me down, hello, even me too lmao, even if the latter is more "so bad it's good" for me if anything), and some i loved back then that haven't aged well (just like fire, spirits, mama said, pillowtalk just to name a few). but with all that i'm still blown away that all of these songs will be at least 5 years old in july, and looking at this chart brings back so many memories for me lol

ik this was pretty random but i just wanted to post this since this chart feels so significant to me in that a) it led to me joining pulse a few years later, b) it was what truly got me interested in music and the charts

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I know how that feels [mention]justchillinreturns [/mention] I have a top 40 I feel the same way about - granted it’s many years before the 2016 one that it will make me sound ancient to you 😭😭😂😂

[upland1425]

Yes, I also have the same feeling as Fire.  
I am just coming up to 60 years old in March, but still clearly remember the first AT40 show I listened to in March 1979 (when I was 18) and songs charted then.  
Following you, I am also trying to list my favorite songs of all time.  The list has already become very lengthy and goes on without interruption.  I find a new favorite song to be listed every few weeks and also remember some long-time favorites which were not listed.
I am very happy to have come across this great show and to enjoy listening to classic and new AT40 shows every week.
