I've noticed at the beginning of the show when Ryan mentions chart movements and stats that he used to say the same commentary on both shows that really applied to one format and not the other. Today I noticed that he switched things up. He mentions that Lauren Daigle and Kelly Clarkson has some movement on the HOT AC format, but on the CHR version, he uses two other artists based on the CHR format. I don't know if this means anything, but I found it refreshing.
