I do hope Selena Gomez and BLACKPINK will enter the charts this weekend!

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

So no brainer on debuts

Two no brainers on exits ("my future" (since its an extra) and "Blueberry Faygo") ....."Lose Somebody" and "Funny" could exit this week... i guess "My Oh My" will stay for one more week...

Will “Watermelon Sugar” stay at #1 for a 7th week or can “Before You Go” finally take over the top spot for Lewis Capaldi’s second #1? “Savage Love” creeping closer but will Jawsh & Jason gets into the top 3?

Extras: break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored; Heartless
Rewind: I Don't Wanna Live Forever

Optionals: hot girl bummer; Beautiful People

assuming the heartless is the weeknd's one (if it's diplo's then that can yeet itself out of existence) then those are the ones i like. my favorite is i don't wanna live forever

Best chance is its Diplo's Heartless since it exited last week

Those are the only good extras (assuming the Heartless is the godawful Diplo one). My favorite is hot girl bummer.

I can't listen to AT40 on Hi FM right now due to some extras are not right in order. Maybe if I'll just wait and MitchWolf - ChartStan would jot down ONLY the charts this week and get the results by draft after the HIFM show. *speechless* 😶

The show order will be complete after 7a est,,,don't fret

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

FINALLY Ryan mentioned Daisy Dove Bloom on the show....

[superxpaul]

In this week’s AT40 Rewind, Ryan plays a segment where Casey talks about all four members of the The Beetles having hits in the Top 40, five years after having disbanded. This happened again in 2017 when four members of One Direction had hits on AT40 as well.

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

Wondering if instead of Holy as a breakout but Regard x Raye's Secrets

[tallen2001]

How did Cardigan drop that far when it’s still in the top 20 on pop?

I was expecting "Nobody's Love" instead of "cardigan" to drop big... guess it's faltering on the AT40 affiliates airplay numbers

[gemini79]

Dynamite is BTS's biggest hit

[gemini79]

Something tells me that cardigan will definetly rebound next week

[Fire]

i-

cardigan dropping to #36 what?

[Arnold]

"Holy" was played just before number 34.  I mean 33.

Mitchwolf  listed it as a breakout before he posted the playlist, and they played the whole thing.  So I assume it was a breakout.

Thanks... It is weird they played five breakouts...

Wait... so they played an extra then a breakout

[kaseyken]

Is it me or do songs seem like they are debuting faster recently ? It doesn't seem like at40 is two weeks or more behind, more like a week behind.

[kaseyken]

They love Bieber at at40. Holy was only released a few days before the show was taped and made it in seems to happen to all his songs!

Secrets wasn't ... But it was announced as a breakout on the show

[kaseyken]

Seems like we are on pace for 125 -130 new at40 hits this year. The past two years averaged 115 new songs already 97 new songs this year and still another dozen regular shows left. Currently songs debut at a pace of a little over 2.5 per week. Although many songs still linger near the top ten forever seems like there have been a lot of songs this year that don't make it into the top 25 and have had very little staying power.

Sorry, my mistake, it was after #34, not before #34.  Sorry about that, you got it in the right place. But they did play it.

[kani]

MitchWolf, can you please include the covid message? Billie Eilish has said about covid message, before playing My Future as extra.


AT40HAC thread already had mentioned in post about covid message, by using the asterik symbol (*)

[warriorsdyn98]

3 songs left from from the original countdown of 2020
2 songs left from debuting last decade 2019

Incredible and dua lipa should do the incredible of going into October after debuting the previous year

2017-18 New Rules
2019-20 Don’t start now

Very impressive

[momzquotes]

*I wish MitchWolf - ChartStan would add COVID message to the artist before playing their song.*
