That's odd for Obsessed lol, debuting at 17 then falling to 20 the next week

[Cerebro]

"HELLO" should, finally, be kicked to the curb next week, since its been purged from the Mediabase chart.

[pmbeditor]

How are you sure it was Taylor's Version of Style and Blank Space that were heard as extras and not the original versions?

[joppingben10fan]

Is "Run" the first indie nightcrawler to make a debut on AT40?

[pop]

Greedy by Tate McRae extends her personal AT40 record with most weeks to start the calendar year with 16 total weeks in the top 5 while being the first number 1 of 2024. It has surpassed Nickelback’s old consecutive top 5 week start of any year since ‘How U Remind Me’ in 2002. Needless to say ‘Greedy’ is off to a strong start for claiming the number one song of 2024.

I really think it would, but right now it's losing spins quickly and it's still possible Lovin On Me can close the gap. I really hope it starts recovering 

[Cerebro]

Ryan did mention at the top of the show that "Calm Down" is the longest charting song ever on AT40. Why he didn't mention it, last week, when it set the new record is anyone's guess.

it was below the Mediabase top 40 on 10-25-2023 chart AT40 used for 11-11 show, so AT40 pulled it off verge status b4 it got purged on 10-29

Who amongst us is surprised by this? Sigh

And I'll ask again - why did this song have such a long chart run? Same question for "Dynamite". I get why 1999's "Smooth" had a lot of staying power.

Good point.. but don’t forget about ‘Paint the Town Red’ by Doja Cat just finished a very strong run in the top 10 of 28 weeks from back in October 2023 that Seacrest did not mention on her exit of an Impressive run in the top 10. Since mediabase starts its fiscal year in November so it will definitely challenge the number 1 spot of the year in the early going depending on how the spins decrease over the course of the next months.

29 35 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor 16 09

This one will be gone next week. But it is still amazing that a song from 23 years ago got resurrected due to its inclusion in a movie. I guess anything is possible.

PTTR is probably not going to challenge for the top song of 2024, it's barely scraping 7k recurrent airplay and the first 2 months (Nov-Dec) still don't give it a large enough lead.

And Shazam. I was curious too and yes, both that got played were "Taylor's Version."

[colombia91]

This must be the first time in recent memory that notches 2-5 are all former number ones. The fact that Tate McRae has stayed this long still in the top 5 with Greedy is impressive. It’s over next week as Benson Boone will have his first top 5 hit.

Assuming AT40 doesn't pull anything weird, we'll have 2-6 all former number ones in a few weeks once Benson Boone hits the top.

Even after the resurrection of the much older Running Up That Hill? It seems like old songs coming back has become a new trend in recent years.

Yep. At the same time, this song gracefully exiting will help ‘Calm Down’ by Rema featuring Selena Gomez chances of reaching 75 weeks on the American Top 40 Countdown next week. It’s amazing how this song has survived and lived on the chart since November of 2022 and here we are in April of 2024.

[pmbeditor]

If one listens closely to some notes playing in Djo's "End Of Beginning", it kind of sounds like what's heard in Steve Lacy's "Bad Habit".

Yes he did. It was a week later than the actual record breaking week but atleast he redeemed himself. There is a good possibility ‘Calm Down’ lasts another week to make it 75 weeks with a lot of songs on the way down.
