^Because I'm way behind on my taping, I recognize 3 of those 4 optional extras(not Thunder) as entering AT40 between June and September of 2017.

The 25 notch drop matches "No Brainer" just a few weeks ago for the biggest drop on AT40 in the 21st century without falling off the countdown completely (though, probably among others, Drake exceeded it recently when "In My Feelings" plunged from #14 to 41 or lower--i.e. at least 27 notches right off the countdown.)

And Marshmello's one notch drop from 39-40 is just enough for him to "bookend" the show, with songs at #40 and #1.

According to Ryan, Ariana makes the biggest jump up this year. 19 notches.

Lucid Dreams will fall hard next week

[musiciscool]

I'm guessing that Breathin will fall to #3 next week. High Hopes should be #2. I don't think Breathin ever hit #2 on Mediabase.

Next week is the last regular show of the year

Yes, Ryan said that the year-end chart will be "in a couple weeks". So, it looks like 2018 wraps up with the 12/15 show. 12/22 and 12/29 will be the year-end chart shows. Regular shows resume the weekend of 1/5.

KIIS 102.7 unknowingly skipped Thank U Next

[nymets86]

Where is the AT40 chart getting these rankings? I get the recurrent differential compared to Mediabase but 25 spot drop from Imagine Dragins? That is not accurate. It is at 29 in the current mediabase currently. Another Drake/DJ Khalid tumble. On the other hand, when has an artist had four lead singles within the top 30 like Ariana Grande? That is kind of unheard of.

Usher almost did it in late 2004. He four lead-artist credited tracks, concurrently, charting..."Yeah!", "Burn", "Confessions Part II", and "My Boo". The week "My Boo" debuted, at #31, "Confessions" fell to #32. The other two were still in the top 30.

Nice info. Yes you are right of Usher dominance 14 years ago.
