Troye OTV as he's about to get purged. That tracks.

I think it's pretty interesting how Ryan mentioned "Apologize" being one of the #1's Ryan Tedder landed and now it plays as an extra for this countdown. And another thing happened that often happens on the Hot AC countdown: a song leaving the countdown at exactly 52 weeks, "Flowers" being this case.

Anybody know why J Christ is being cencored, I really don't see a big deal

[gemini44]

I thought smoking weed in Stick Season should be censored

[cookie111]

One of Your Girls is not gonna chart because pop radio keeps screwing Troye Sivan time and time again.

its because religious groups were up in arms with the title and the content of the song.  Lil Nas X apologized later on.   I guess that is why Ryan doesn't want to mention the song on the countdown.  Also the title of the song on the American Top 40 AC Chart is Back Like.  Carson Daly mentions both titles on his countdown

I don't Think Calm Down will match As It Was with 92 weeks on Rick Dees WT40,Calm Down won't even get close to that lol

Still on pace to tie and/or break the AT40 record of 72 weeks set by Taio Cruz' Dynamite by droping 2, 1 or none each week... anything more than 2 and Dynamite survives yet again

I have my doubts it will break the record… songs don’t drop as slowly as they use to once they drop out of the top 10…usually in the top 30 song will move 1 or 2 for a few weeks, but then drop 4 or 5 to drop out of the 30… the consistently drop 1 or 2 till it falls off… unless it pulls off something like Flowers and spends a month at # 40

Ryan mentioned that all 3 debuts entered inside the Top 30. Is that a record for most number of songs debuting that high?

If that wasn’t all, Oman’s Hi FM also censored the word “gays” by reversing it, likely since they’re in a Middle Eastern country

I think this isn't the first time debuts entered inside the top 30. I want to say it happened for a 2014 or 2015 countdown?

It would be a damn shame if ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez does not break the 72 week strangle hold record of ‘Dynamite’ by Taio Cruz after spending an eternity of 40 plus weeks in the top 10 in which part time guest host Ryan Seacrest did not acknowledge on the week it fell off the top 10. If it doesn’t get atleast tied at 72 weeks it would be dissapointing. We will have an idea in three weeks where this song is at, hopefully not below 27 or 28 at that point.

We’ll have a better idea in the upcoming weeks where this song is on the chart to see if this increasing drop off per week will continue. For example if it drops to 22 then 24 in the next two weeks then I can see it probably happening entering week 65 on the American Top 40 countdown

‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomes is at 15 in the latest update of billboard top radio play just sent out. That means AT40 is not at its usual 2 week behind pace

[colombia91]

Only 7 former number 1’s on this chart including the smash ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez
