According to the rolling chart of March 21, 2024, this is what i see in terms of debuts/exits/breakouts/verges for next week:

Debuts:
Ariana Grande - we can't be friends (wait for your love)
Madison Beer - Make You Mine (if it doesn't debut next week, it will be a verge b4 officially debuting on 4/13)

Exits:
Eliza Rose/Calvin Harris - Body Moving
Morgan Wallen - Thinking Bout Me (in case Make You Mine debuts (if Morgan doesn't exit, Used To Be Young or Good Good will instead))

Breakouts:
Meghan Trainor/T-Pain - Been Like This
Djo - End Of Beginning
The Beaches - Blame Brett
Olivia Rodrigo - obsessed (if this becomes a breakout, it could be a verge for one week b4 debuting)

Verges:
ATARASHII GAKKO! - HELLO
SMITH - Run

[sheerio]

I did not expect her to spend another week on top. Next week’s drop would be interesting.

[pmbeditor]

I don't think there's been a sequence where songs 40-38 from last week fall off this week back-to-back since the countdown for March 20th three years ago, but unlike that one when it was all males, this week's is all females.

[Az Paynter]

Interesting that there's only one breakout this week. As for OTV, Atarashi Gakko!! is looking like a non-charter; they've peaked on the rolling Mediabase chart and are on their way back down. Smith still has a decent shot though, she's still hanging in there.

[gemini44]

I don't think Body Moving will exit next week as of two weeks ago it was still moving up on MB

[chickythelittlechicken]

Oh Calm Down is about to tie the record !!!!

And it's only the second time a song lost airplay on radio yet made it to the top and got 2 weeks after "abcdefu" did it two years ago.

I'm wondering how far will Is It Over Now will fall from number 1 next week, it could be the biggest fall from number 1 in some time

[cookie111]

I heard Seacrest say Training Season was down seven to #26. Slip of the tongue? He did indirectly mention that it was the fastest riser before the countdown began.

I know the record for fall from #1 in all of AT40 is 14 to #15 in 1974 both by Billy Preston "Nothing From Nothing" and Spinners & Dionne Warwicke "Then Came You" ... not sure of the record is in Shadoe's or Ryan's era.... i could see "Is It Over Now" go down to #6 next week

[gemini44]

I know Lady Marmalade dropped from 1 to 9 in 2001

[gemini44]

Yes,And? surely crashed fast

[pmbeditor]

Didn't it feel like in some of the segments, Ryan kept repeating who's going to be at the music awards and who's hosting it? I think he brought this up four times.

Yeah, he did repeat that a couple of times. I think he also said it at the end of the countdown, too.

Yep, think it'll eventually go 77 weeks.

And I'll ask yet again - why does this song have such an extended run? It's ok, but doesn't strike me as particularly noteworthy. An African performer that was unheard of prior to this along with a Latina American with a string of hits. Kind of like "Smooth", but Rema is no Carlos Santana. What am I missing here?

Not so sure it will be 77 but it wasn’t looking good after ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez dropped 6 notches in a two week span to number 32 on the weekend of 3-9. But unless AT40 unjustifiably drops this song off the countdown this week since I’m reality it is at number 18 in total spins, the songs that should drop off first to buy it time to survive is ‘use to be young’ by Miley Cyrus, ‘Seasons’ by Thirty Seconds to Mars’, ‘Good Good’ by Usher featuring Summer Walker & 21 Savage’, and ‘Thinkin’ About Me’ by Morgan Wallen. It’s incredible that this song debuted in November of 2022 and we are about to enter April 2024 and it’s still on the AT40 countdown.

Like I said before that I wish American Top 40 would just use the actual Mediabase with recurrent chart from 2 weeks prior. Sure, certain songs would remain on the chart for eons, such as Sure Thing (#19), As It Was (#34), Flowers (#30), but that will probably never happen.

there is a countdown for Townsquare Media stations called The PopCrush Top 25 Countdown which is 90% like the Mediabase w/currents chart... 

also don't forget about Creepin' (#26)

While I wish AT40 and the like would be a bit more transparent about it, I actually think the opposite should take place - something like the old 20/20 rule. Or perhaps a modified version of the Americana chart rules, where one has to satisfy three criteria to be removed. Part of what made the format appealing to me as a child was the opportunity to hear new songs, not to have the same tired tunes played ad nauseum. One has AC stations for that purpose.

I agree with musiciscool. It looks like ‘As it was’ by Harry Styles would own the record if that was the case with ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez with some work to do trailing behind.

This is a week late, but here is a trivia question to answer. There are two songs here that played as extras on the countdown for September 23, 2023. Can you guess which ones they are?

‘cake by the ocean’ by DNCE and ‘One Last Time’ by Arianna Grande . My educated guess at first would have been ‘Give Me Everything’ by Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo since they play it often as an AT40 extra.

You're half right. 'One Last Time' was one of them. But the other was 'My Love'

Totally agree here. I don't think I would have ever become the music chart fan that I did had I been born 10-15 years later. Corporate radio is completely to blame for the way things are now. It wasn't until the corporate takeover that it was universally decided that people wanted to only hear the top hits for a year at a time as opposed to anything new.
