i started listening AT40 in 1977 and the local station skipped segments about 7-8 times tween 1977-1988 Ugh. I hate skipping extras. The truth is... 👉 Lack of timeslot 👉 Make it advance without extras or skipping extras 👉 3 hours of show. The general approximate time of this show is 4 hours. But why 3 hours? 🤔🤔🤔

Will " Say So" holds on to #1 for a 5th week? or will " Blinding Lights" return to the top? Can “ Intentions” get there? Will any of the breakouts from last week enter this week? Top 40 Tracker as usual will release the breakouts/verges/extras this afternoon or evening Again i will post the draft of the show after airing then the detailed order at Friday morning around 8a EST after proofreading it To Follow Along:listen to HiFM Oman at 2a est Friday on the TuneIn app listen to AT40 station at 5a est Friday on the iHeartRadio app ... or go to www.at40.com/howtolisten/ ..... Type in your location... It will tell you the station Still "Say So."

Lmfao I laughed so hard when I read this It wasn't meant to be funny. But if you enjoyed it, at least I did something good today. I was hoping someone would agree with me, but they probably won't.
In today's world, most people seem to like when things are full of interruptions. I hate it.
I don’t disagree with you but I think the extras are placed where they are to give stations the ability to play songs their audience are familiar with in case they aren’t familiar with the songs in the actual top 40. I’m guessing it’s basically meant to keep the flow so listeners don’t tune out because they don’t know a couple songs in a row. All about familiarity. With that said, I definitely prefer Casey’s format of the show. It highlighted the countdown part more, which I think had more potential to hold onto listeners so even if songs weren’t familiar to them, they might be more inclined to stay listening just to hear what was number one. Seacrest’s top 40 is essentially a glorified talk show that happens to play the top 40 - but the countdown itself isn’t even the priority.

Looks like Tootsie Slide might miss the top 10 (even though it made top 10 on media base)

He never played 17 extras in the show (or 13 if you don't count the optional extras). If I remember correctly, there were maybe 2 long distance dedications, and one extra, which was usually a former number one. At least, the extras had a meaning why they were being played. Today's extras have no meaning for being played. They seem to be picked at random. Ryan Seacrest is not the right man for the job.

During the years I listened, there were always three requests and dedications. Only a couple times between 1994-2004 was there an extra that wasn’t a dedication. Tbh, I wish Casey would have reduced the dedications since they quickly became my least favourite part of the show, particularly as it was always the same 8 songs over and over again. I wish he would have played more extras (with a story leading into it rather than just random filler), or at least a “sneak peak” like Shadoe Stevens on his version of At40.

Titanium and Clarity must be Ryan's favorites,he sure plays them a lot as extras. He plays the same old sings as extras. Cake by the Ocean by DNCE is another one that he plays regularly

on another note why did july fall off lol, it's still climbing on Mediabase. It should be at like 33-35 or something. I could see "July" reentering, especially if it keeps gaining. Speaking of MB and AT40 going opposite ways, "In Your Eyes" jumps 7 notches here while already plunging in MB spins; it wouldn't be surprising to see it fall right off in the next few weeks while "Heartless" and "Blinding Lights" (a possible returning #1?) stay on. And if anyone was keeping track, "Circles" falls out of the top 10 after 34 weeks--a record? In response to the complaints about extras, they're obviously needed to fill time and I agree with those who'd rather hear them than more talk with people who often have nothing to do with music or the countdown. Songs have overall gotten shorter in recent years; Ryan explained once that this is in part due to release to streaming platforms, where shorter songs can be played more often resulting in more $$. I wonder if anyone's thought of reducing the show to three hours, which could probably be done by now without much editing of the countdown songs--the reverse of how it was in the late 1970s when AT40 was extended from its original three hours to four? And for the first several years of four hour AT40s Casey would play a lot of extras, including starting the show with the full top 3 songs from the previous week (see, for instance, the 1979 countdown replayed this weekend).

If there was a show that counted down the top 40 tallest people in the world, why would a 5 foot 11 inch tall man be shown during the countdown? It doesn't make any sense does it?
If there was a list of the Presidents of the United states, in order backwards from President Trump to George Washington, is it ok for Vladimir Putin be in that list?
If there was a row of houses with addresses from 2300 to 2352, would it be ok if one of those houses had the address 1925?
If there was a countdown of any thing, does it make any sense to insert something irrelevant to that list into the list? these are not accurate comparisons. extras are prior at40 hits. what you listed is just irrelevant. extras should be there. it's better than ryan doing 8 interviews about random movies. that is irrelevant to at40. hell if i were to pick the only time extras are bad, it'd be if literally the entire show is extras with no actual top 40. i'll never understand some of these complaints y'all have lol With the length of today's of songs why don't we just change the show to at50 (imagine the possibilities we could still be counting down Love Lies spending it's 8th week at number 50.

Looks like a few songs are under 2:40: "Roxanne," "Falling," "Say So," "Like That" and "Sunday Best." With that being the case, obviously lots of more songs will be needed to fill up the show.

Arnold may I make a suggestion if your frustrated with the countdown being long and not just counting down the 40 songs uninterrupted .I just buy the top 40 on iTunes it costs only about $3.00 a week (pretty inexpensive if your a music junkie like me ) as the past several years only average about 120 songs a year it's fairly cheap. I simply create a playlist weekly and this week for instance is only 2 hours and 10 minutes. It's commercial free no extras and you can be your own dj. Personally I rarely listen to the radio as they are super redundant. If I want to hear new songs I just check out mediabase top 50 and and listen on you tube if I like it i'll buy it. Unfortunately the biggest downfall for me is I would prefer the cleaner versions of the songs which are not always for sale but eventually I get a hold of the latest Now that's what I Call Music Cd which provides edited versions of many songs that iTunes doesn't have available.

I enjoyed Casey also but we can't blame Ryan for the length of songs today remember Casey didn't need to fill up as the show was only Three hours when songs were shorter in the seventies and in the eighties and nineties the songs were long enough to fill up the show .We have more songs under three minutes now in a week than they did in a year back then. Even if songs were just 30 seconds longer on the average that would add 20 minutes to the show and could eliminate 5 extras a week .One thing that Casey did is he usually gave some facts about the artists instead of just playing the song. I think most of us wouldn't mind the song title artist and a little tidbit of knowledge before each song was played and that would honestly fill up a lot of time .Another thing Casey did for a long time at the beginning of the program was to play the entire song of the top three to fill up time I don't recommend this be brought back. I Would enjoy reintroducing the Time Machine that Shadoe Stevens would feature weekly where they would count down the top 5 of a previous year for that exact week and then play that #1 song.

He would review a year sometimes it was the previous year or it could be 5,10 or 20 years ago he would play snippets of 5 through 1 if I recall but it's been a quarter of a century I'm sure one of our experts remembers

Back to the Shadoe Stevens days I still have copies of some shows on vcr tape .For years: because I always worked long hours on weekends and during the countdown I devised a plan to play my radio through my tv I would the set my vcr timer to show time for 4 hours and it would record it for me . Those were the days :| thank god for iheart radio, my vcr days are over Previous to that I had multiple cassette recorders attached to timers to start each hour in order to record.

Shadoe would play drop pieces of the top 5 hits from that week in some previous year and then identify the songs and artists.
