Yeah and why debut too high at 34? 😅

Good question.... i see no evidence on being in  the top 40 two weeks ago let alone last week


it will leave either next week or week after

[gemini79]

Slut debuting at 34 when it didn't reach top 40 on mediabase lol

By my count, this is the second time that this has happened. Back in 2014, "Ugly Heart" by G.R.L. spent a single week at #40. It peaked at #42 on the Mediabase chart.

[gemini79]

Sure is a lot of Taylor Swift this week

[musiciscool]

Dientes OTV again. How many weeks has that been now?

Speaking of Taylor Swift and random AT40 moves, there was the time in 2020 when "Cardigan" got to the top 20, sharply dropped down and then off the countdown for two weeks, and then suddenly re-entered at #22--while not making similar moves on Mediabase. I have no explanation for that other than some sort of AT40 tabulation error that was corrected by putting it back on the chart.

[Cerebro]

Do we know what AT40's tracking week is? There might be a, semi-plausible, explanation for "Slut!" appearing on this chart. If we look at the Mediabase charts, it DID break the top 40 for a few days, midweek. It got up to #38 on Friday, November 3rd:

40 36 ZACH BRYAN I Remember... f/K. Musgraves 1054 994 60 1.456
282 37 TAYLOR SWIFT Is It Over Now? (TV) 992 2 990 3.741
221 38 TAYLOR SWIFT Slut! (Taylor's Version) 948 4 944 3.803
29 39 CHARLI XCX Speed Drive 947 1996 -1049 1.370
43 40 MORGAN WALLEN Thinkin' Bout Me 915 723 192 1.423

The next day, November 4th, it collapsed.

51 44 AJR Yes, I'm A Mess 600 341 259 0.896
57 45 TEDDY SWIMS Lose Control 435 229 206 0.564
47 46 TAYLOR SWIFT Slut! (Taylor's Version) 422 534 -112 1.073
49 47 VELLA Happiness 404 366 38 0.256
31 48 TIMBALAND F/FURTADO/TIMBERLAKE Keep Going Up 389 1643 -1254 0.848

Not an apples-to-apples comparison. But, it's the best I've got.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I’m convinced it’s a typo

[💙𝖇𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖎𝖊𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍𝖋𝖆𝖓]

I cant believe "Slut" debuted on AT40 like it was currently charting or something😭😭.

[MostInterestingManInTheWorld]

Of course, it's #3 on the Hot 100

These days I give that chart less credibility than Rick Dees.

[Top 40 Tracker]

I have posted the AT40 production schedule multiple times.

This weekend's chart was pulled on Nov 2nd, 2023.

The show is then taped a week later and then airs 10 days after taping.

So, Nov 2nd chart....show is recorded Nov 9, and then airs this weekend.

Next week's show will feature the chart from Nov 9th...

I'm wondering if Slut will fall off next week or will it fall then fall off the following week

Considering how quickly it was dumped from the Mediabase chart, once it peaked, I'd be surprised if it stuck around for a second week.

Hello MitchWolf - Chartstan. I am currently a new member of the pulse music board and it's three weeks late, but I couldn't help but notice you swapped the number of weeks and the peak positions for "Speed Drive" and "We Didn't Start The Fire". I wanted to reach out about this, but I needed approval from the staff for my account, so I wasn't able to let you know beforehand.
