Calm Down is finally out of the top 10

[HolidayGuy]

Thanks for posting, per usual.

It was a nice run for "Popular." Meanwhile, "Flowers" refuses to budge. "Calm Down" finally exiting the top 10 is a welcome move.

Since this week marks, roughly, the 20th anniversary of Ryan Seacrest taking over as host of American Top 40, I thought I’d take a litte trip back to how it all started.

As 2003 was winding down, it was announced by Premiere that Casey Kasem would be stepping down as the host of AT40, but would continue to host his two other countdowns, American Top 10 and American Top 20, which he would do for the next 5-and-a-half years. The final two weeks of December saw him counting down the top 100 of 2003. Then, he made the first regular show of 2004 (1/3) his last show. Ryan would, then, take over the weekend of 1/10. Casey’s final show would be the last to use the R&R pop chart. With Ryan’s debut, the show would switch over to using an unpublished chart tabulated from Mediabase monitored AT40 affiliates. The most notable difference from what came before, was the lack of a recurrent rule. This resulted in a, whopping, 7 re-entries on the inaugural show. It’s worth noting that three of the songs that dropped off -- “My Immortal”, “The First Cut Is The Deepest”, and “Falls On Me” -- would re-enter, themselves, in the weeks to follow as they “caught up” with the new methodology.

Ryan, also, brought new features to the show. Some worked and some didn’t. The opening batch of features were:

• Focus --> A spotlight on one of the artists on the chart which, for some reason, necessitated that the same song be played twice during the show. Ludacris was the first Focus subject. As such, “Stand Up” got an extra play. This feature didn’t last more than a few weeks.
• Correspondent --> A “shout out” from a DJ at an AT40 affilate. Since the chart was tabulated from only affiliate statons, I guess the idea behind this was to make the affiliates more interactive with the show. Worth noting, that one of the correspondents that popped up while this feature was active was Ed McMann (then, of Kiss 108, WXKS Boston). As some of you may recall, McMann was AT40’s regular guest host during Casey’s second run from 1998 through 2003. This feature would, also, disappear before the end of the first year.
• Out Of The Box --> A new single heading towards the chart. This would be the only enduring feature. These days, it’s called a “Breakout”.

The “new” AT40 was a bit rough around the edges, to start. It took some time to find its footing. Here was the first chart (LW positions and Weeks On counts carried over from the Casey run, for continuity).

Great post of Ryan’s first show! I think I have a recording of that show too. Really cool to see the major differences between the 2004 chart in comparison to now.
Not to offend any 2020s music enthusiasts, but to me, the 2004 lineup is way better! So much more variety of different styles and artists. And being partial to Rock and Alternative, there was so much of it on the 04 lineup and none now. Major difference there!

[colombia91]

How does this week’s guest host ‘Ryan Seacrest’ not mention this once in a lifetime run we have just experienced with ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez falling out of the Top 10 after a run of 40+ plus weeks. That should have not been left out.

Not true. There is LANY and 30 seconds to mars so it’s not none

And it’s out of Mediabase altogether, having finally moved to the recurrent list.

Of course, it will likely still be on AT40 for a while yet. Though AT40 doesn’t follow the “Mediabase with recurrents” list either. If it did then “As It Was” would still be on the weekly countdown.

20 years ago there was also a lot more hard-edged rap and hip-hop, and more of an Urban/Rhythmic flavour in general, though there seems to have been a R&B revival lately. Sean Ross has called that the “Trapt and Terror Squad” era at CHR for the abundance of hard rock and rap (often both in the same song).

Today there’s more dance, indie pop (often with Alternative appeal), and international influence. Also more random revivals and out of nowhere “viral” hits, which isn’t surprising as there was no such thing as TikTok or YouTube in 2004.

[Top 40 Tracker]

Anyone remember Ryan's first Top 100 annual countdown show back in 2004? If not, it's coming soon...

I just added Top 100 of 1988 with the Shadoe today along with AT40s Top 40 of the 90s and Casey's Top 40 "Top 40 #1s of the 80s".

I wonder if Calm Down will be able to beat Dynamite by Taio Cruz's record for longest running song on this chart! The current record held by Dynamite is 72 weeks, so Calm Down only needs to last 13 more. I think it actually has a chance!

Good point, the 2 songs you named do have a nostalgic Alternative feel to them. I missed that part that they both debuted this week.

[pmbeditor]

I think the CHR/Pop American Top 40 charts are beginning to have occurrences that only happen in the Hot AC AT40. For example, a song that lands in the top 10 and reaches one year still in there, which is what "Calm Down" just accomplished last year. Another example is a song making more than one move to re-enter the top 2, holding its spot there, falling to #3 and then holding its spot there before another top 2 re-entry, which is exactly what "Cruel Summer" has been doing for the past four months.

Probably because he already mentioned that it set the record in the year end show.

None of these acts are on this past weekend's CHR version of the show. However, 3 were on the HAC show: Pink, Matchbox Twenty and Kelly Clarkson.


Another feature that started in 2004 but wouldn't last too long was Lil' Allie. A little girl would prank someone on the phone using grownup language. Perhaps it was best for a morning show but not a weekly countdown.

True but he should have mentioned ‘falling off the top 10 after 10 months etc ‘
