Not the first Shaggy ever to host American Top 40, of course. Some interesting possibilities for artist-centric optional extras. His two biggest AT40 hits ("It Wasn't Me" and "Angel") are from 2000-01; both are pretty well remembered but nearly 20 years old by now. It would be nice if they do play Boombastic Since the last guest host had NO hit singles (Megan Thee Stallion), the optionals should be his 4 biggest hits and maybe "Banana" as a regular extra, NOT a breakout

AT40 needs to drop Recurrents after they fall out of the Top 20!! This would make the redundancy of songs being on the chart for so long like Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Love" etc. being off the chart and songs that should be on the chart being on the chart like Juice WRLD/Marshmello - Come And Go, Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho and Taylor Swift - cardigan. It would make the countdown so much listenable too.

This week's complete set of extras: Lauv - I Like Me BetterMark Ronson f/Bruno Mars - Uptown FunkBillie Eilish - When The Party's Over Ashe f/Niall Horan - Moral Of The Story Post Malone & Swae Lee - Sunflower These are the extras I like with my favorites bolded. Also why is Moral of the Story an extra when it hasn’t charted here yet? "Moral Of The Story" looks like its not debuting at all thus was announced as an extra.... "Banana" will probably get same treatment due to Shaggy hosting next week

But I think AT40 wouldn't do this because there would be many songs on the lower part of the chart that aren't being played on many affiliates. The show is programmed more for program directors than for you and me. That's just the business.

The show is programmed more for program directors than for you and me. That's just the business. just look at my local stations airplay numbers (KSLZ and KNOU in St Louis):
"Funny" still not playing in both stations (KSLZ is an iHeartRadio station and AT40 affiliate as well and NO Funny there)
Also "ily", "Breaking Me", "Daisies" and "Lose Somebody" also not being played in both stations but both plays recurrents "Someone You Loved", "Only Human". both Lizzo mega hits, "Eastside", "The Box". "Love Lies" and "Better Now"

Will Cardigan burn out fast like ,*Look what you made me do" and Me! No, but it didn’t break out as fast as those songs either. It’ll be more of a slow burner, like Lover, but with a higher peak.

Ryan announced AT40 will be getting a new logo as part of their 50th anniversary, replacing the one used since 2014. It’s not showing up on the website yet, but he said it’ll have parts of a vinyl record as part of it. Here's the logo:

Thoughts for the week.
1. What is the record for most consecutive weeks spent at #40?
2. If Cardigan hits that will give us four songs that clock in at 4 minutes or higher (based on itunes) haven't seen that forever.
3. What is the record for most weeks in the top 3 thinking Circles or Blinding Lights could be in the running?
4. Hearing double this week ? Multiple hits from Lewis, B.E.P, Trever, Harry, Dua, Da Baby, Harry, Doja, in addition: extras by Ava and Katy. Throw in optional extras and there were several others that had two songs played this week. 5. Anyone else think of the Barenaked Ladies (the group) when listening to AJR? Both have a little quirkiness and humor to their songs

How has circles plummeted 11 spots in 3 weeks on at49. It has actually been going back up to about #14 on the charts in about the last 3 weeks. It should be still top 20. Any small minuscule chance for breaking any AT40 record is now shot. Sometimes the way the AT40 seeds their songs is odd

5 weeks at #40 of Someone you loved by Lewis Capaldi has to be an American Top 40 record .

Is it true that Shaggy will be the guest host of AT40 this weekend?
Maybe the extras are his songs though, like Angel, It Wasn't Me, and more...
