[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Ok I believe "X", "Daisies", "Maniac" gets the breakouts IMO this week..and next week "Rain On Me", "Oh My God" and "The Scotts"

what everybody thinks what the breakouts are gonna be b4 Top 40 Tracker gets it released?

[Deleted]

I’m predicting X, Blueberry Faygo, and maybe Maniac for breakouts.

[johnnywest]

I hope everyone remembers to chime in about "Underdog."

"Rain On Me" is a good guess for a Breakout.

I agree.

Underdog purged this previous week, so if AT40 plays it yet again, I think it’s safe to say that they will never stop.

finds out in the year 9000000000000000000000, AT40 is still playing "Underdog" by Alicia Keys as an extra

Me: where are the random triggered posts of people complaining nonstop of "Underdog" being an AT40 extra?

Those are the only extras I like. My favorite is Lucid Dreams.

At least Blueberry Faygo is a breakout. Hopefully that can smash.

[gemini79]

I predict that the largest fall will be I Love Me, and the biggest mover will be Roses again

I could see I Love Me dropping out entirely.

[gemini79]

I'm thinking Watermelon Sugar will be a direct debut

I say play that song after songs #40-#38 next week then after that ENOUGH... we are calming down a bit....

I wonder during 9/11 what tunes was way overplay parlay to it.... Underdog is the pandemic theme song

I am thinking that in place of a weak Worry About Me.... Maybe Daisies can debut straight in as well... if not, next week

[Deleted]

I’d give Harry another week or two before he debuts. I’m pretty sure Watermelon Sugar wasn’t even top 40 on MB 2 weeks ago. As for Worry About Me, I could see it debuting or being abandoned this week. Savage and Stuck With U will for sure debut. Dropout candidates include I Love Me, Modern Loneliness, Life Is Good, and Trampoline.

[gemini79]

I see Worry about Me is debuting, it's already falling on mediabase. I don't think Young & Alive will make it

Young & Alive could squeeze in one week next week, but yeah I wouldn’t be too surprised if it misses out.

[gemini79]

At least Underdog won't re-enter, now that it fell out of the mediabase top 50 maybe they should give it up

It's so annoying, but because of the pandemic, they might not give it up for a while.

It seems like Enya's Only Time was played a lot after 9/11, if I remember right.

That's probably the most regularly griped about topic on the AT40 threads since the "Dynamite is STILL on??" complaints of 2011. (The Taio Cruz hit lasted for 72 weeks on the countdown, more than any song ever to date.)

MitchWolf - ChartStan is right. Underdog continues to play on AT40 to give way to the frontliners who are now battling against the COVID-19 virus.

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Its OFFICIALLY BACK on HiFM ,,,,but i will listen to it again to fill the slots of what extras didn't play as usual.

I will post just the countdown and extras after HiFM's airing and post the full show order after iHeartRadio's airing

[momzquotes]

See? I told you MitchWolf - ChartStan AT40 on Hi FM Oman returns after Ramadhan.

Did we forget about the "Tell Me something good" abomination ? In addition the counter complaint of why not bring back the Two for one . It seems like months of bickering until they finally canned t. m .s .g . I have been listening to at40 since the late 70's here is my "top 5 most annoying things on at40 top 5 countdown".

5.underdog
4.playing Unchained melody twice a week for two months the 45 version and the cassette version as two different songs.
3.Year end countdown show-going from top 100 to top 40 and replaying it the next week as well as the fact that the year end chart is meaningless as it is mostly comprised of songs from the previous years.
2.No recurrent rule meaning songs are played for 30-70+ weeks 
1.Tell Me Something Good

Keep your hands in the air and keep reaching for the stars.

[kaseyken]

Question for you. I was thinking of all the songs that should have been debuts this week and got snuffed(we easily could have had eight new songs). What is the record for the most songs to debut in a week? I think I remember 8 one time probably in January after the chart break.
