[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Since Oh My God is already declared an extra .. safe assumed that The Scotts and July will be the other exits

[gemini79]

I'm surprised to see Funny as a breakout

[Fire]

a new zedd song. it's not even top 50 on Pop yet tho, so idk why it's a breakout.

[musiciscool]

Um, why is Funny a breakout? Makes no sense at all.

i guess you could say that it's kinda "funny"

i'm sorry

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Funny is playing on one of the stations in St Louis.... not sure if its playing on St Louis' AT40/iHeartRadio affiliate

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Ryan interviewed Zedd on the song and simply made it a breakout... its should be on the verge next week b4 it debuts week or two after that

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Wondering why it sounds like AT40 is giving "Oh My God" same treatment as "Underdog" and "July"???

[samlove]

Wtf am I looking at? AJR is on the verge, Breaking me is not a breakout, Funny is a breakout. Also SAINt Jhn, Dua Lipa, POWFU, JP saxe, and Doja Cat are moving up waaaaay too fast.

[gemini79]

With Funny, that's like last year when Ryan played Highest in the Room as an extra before it got in the top 50 on mediabase

[gemini79]

What number is Funny at on Media base, and how fast is it moving up?

[Fire]

it's not even top 50 yet, not even on today's rolling update

edit: it debuted on hot ac today though

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Speaking of Funny, these tunes should've been breakouts instead:

TOPIC & A7S - Breaking Me
KYGO f/OneRepublic  - Lose Somebody
AVA MAX - Kings & Queens
PINK SWEAT$ - 17
TONES AND I - Ur So cOol
SIA - Together
ASHE f/Niall Horan - Moral Of The Story

KANE BROWN  f/Khalid & Swae Lee - Be Like That

Which 3 will be breakout next week??

[gemini79]

There is a definite possibility there could be at least 6 otv/bo songs next week .Rightfully Topic, Kygo and Kane Brown at minimum should be there. Personally like Kings & Queens it sounds like classic Lady Gaga and is extremely catchy the second the song starts .The  other three songs have been sputtering and could be a several weeks to hit the top 40 if ever. I would be surprised to see any more than 2 debuts next week as they rarely have two of the "older songs drop in the same week. Also wouldn't be shocked if Someone you loved gets a third week at # 40 i think it's a coin toss. Funny could be played as an extra into September if it doesn't hit the countdown that is the downfall of playing a breakout so soon unless you know it's a slam dunk to soar up the charts.

[kaseyken]

Last week there was a mention of the popularity of acronyms these days so i thought it would be fun to check out both songs and artists since 2010 that fall into that category. Several artists use acronyms of their names.

1.ajr
2.lsd
3.mkto
4.nf
5.tlc
6.nerd
7.bts
8.dram
9.lmfao

1.et
2.guy
3.gdfr
4.idgaf
5.omg
6.s&m
7.the
8.tko
9.rip
10.mia

In addition one of my favorite music trivia questions was to name the the top 40 act whose name is a palindrome (spelled forward and backwards the same) that had a top 40 hit that was a palindrome also. Both answers are acronyms also without the (.) between letters.

[gemini79]

This week we have two savage songs on the chart "Savage" at #8 and Savage Love at 36

[kani]

Notes:
Jason DeRulo TikTok on quarantine.., untold stories jonas brothers
Covid message: Michael of 5 seconds of summer, camila cabello, and Lauv

most dance song: Roses

KIIS ryan seacrest sponsor: Taco Bell Grilled Cheese Burrito
Ryan Seacrest sponsoring: Geico, Capital One, Peacock streaming

since last week commercial had Tide commercial that used parody Oops I Did It Again, it this week went back with original feeling style of Tide commercial..

other commercial: new single ILY by sufi

an AT40 flashback was 1974: Casey Kasem intros that longest song: Don McLean - American Pie 8 min 22 seconds. Now Ryan Seacrest in extra rewind, shortest song is Old Town Road.

That would be SOS by ABBA, unless I'm missing something more recent.

[kaseyken]

Well done you are correct ! Anni-Frid aka Frida, Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha otherwise known as abba hit #15 in 1975 with sos aka save our souls.

[kaseyken]

Hello?Hello?Hello? Is there a anybody in there? Just nod if you can here me is there anyone home?

Good thing "Old Town Road" less than 2 minutes is the duration of the original, while in the remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus contains 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

And Ryan mentioned "American Pie" was the longest duration song.
