American Top 40 3/30/2013

[jdelachjr2002]

I don't see the chart posted yet so here it is.

Demi Lovato has the highest debut of the week, Pink has the biggest mover and the biggest dropper and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (featuring Wanz) take "Thrift Shop" to #1.

Also, "Harlem Shake" is "On The Verge" again. With Baauer losing his bullet on Mediabase's charts, I'd be danged if it ever cracks the Top 40.

How in the hell is "Harlem Shake" STILL on the verge? I am literally baffled.

It's only been On The Verge for two weeks. Some songs that haven't hit the 40 yet have been played as "On The Verge" at least twice.

That's cause it's, still, not up on the web site. Otherwise, I'd've been all over it. ;)

And Bruno Mars scores a jackpot, with three lucky 7's. With his song now #1 on Mediabase, he should soon be getting luckier still.

Once again the 2 for 1 goes to the "featured" rather than main half of a double-billed act, especially interesting as the featured artist (Flo Rida) has his own hit song elsewhere in the countdown. A lot of movement this week; I'm somewhat surprised to see two songs fall right off from 22 and 25. I also thought that "Hey Porsche" would at least get into the 20s, instead of dropping out from 31.

This is the third straight week that "Harlem Shake" is a Breakout or On the Verge; I think if it doesn't actually chart next week this is the last we'll hear of it on AT40. Meanwhile, Chris Wallace finally slips a notch after taking 16 weeks to peak at #29.

Well it was Breakout, then OTV twice now. That's 3 weeks on here, and it didn't even get near top 40 with recurrents, not even top 60. Plus the fact that it lost its bullet almost 3 weeks ago. It didn't make sense to breakout to begin with, and for it to STILL be in that position makes even less sense than before, which was none to begin with.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harlem Shake is played as a simple "Extra" next week, and not as a "On The Verge" or whatever. AT40 has done that a few times in the past; they don't simply "drop" their breakouts that haven't done well enough.

[josh]

Lol if it gets purged and they still continue to try to make it work.

Great chart week with good debuts. I'm happy that "Harlem Shake" didn't make the Top 40 and maybe it won't even be played next week as a OTV or anything because of it losing it's bullet a couple weeks back. I hope that Maroon 5 gets to #1 because they got #1 on Sunday's published panel update on Mediabase. Just got to wait until "Thrift Shop" falls out.

[Deleted]

I don't think M5 will get #1 on AT40, personally.

Some of us got to hear both Die Young and If I Die Young. We get our third no. 1 in as many weeks with a good chance of a fourth next week. Is it just me, or are Justin Bieber's songs getting much better now?
Also lucky this week is the number 13. 4 songs in a row in the top 6 have been on here for 13 weeks. In the very first segment we lucked out with love, diamonds and gold!
Ryan said that Rihanna now has had 24 top 10 hits, more than anyone else this century.
"22" made me think of some other songs that hit the top 40, that just have number titles with numerals (and decimals). Some are years like 1979, 1985, 1999. Also 3, 7, 15, 19, 98.6
and 99 (by Toto).

17 and 18 have also been hits; Nelly once charted with a song called "#1" which didn't get there, but his next two hits, "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma" both did.

I think Taylor Swift ("15" and "22") joins Prince ("1999" and "7") as the only artists with more than one hit song with just a number or year as a title. Any others?
