On AT40 this week, we took a look at the 40 biggest hits of 2020!
This year is majority about the COVID pandemic which inspired songs (sad, uplifting or silly) like Alicia Keys' "Underdog", twenty one pilots' "Level Of Concern" and Avenue Beat's "F2020" and messages on the show by artist like Selena Gomez, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, DJ Khaled (those three that was used the same message the most during it), etc
The highest debut of the year going to "Yummy" by Justin Bieber which debuted at #21 but peaked outside the top 10 at #12 and fell out after only 6 weeks
The biggest mover of 2020 belongs Halsey's "You should be sad". She moved up 15 from #39 to #24 back on February 8th... But it also was the biggest exit of the year as it left AT40 from #14 after 13 weeks spent on May 2nd (peaking at #13), tying the biggest dropoff in the Seacrest era with "IDGAF", "Motivation" and "In My Feelings"
The slowest song to reach the top this year was Lewis Capaldi's "Before You Go" as it took 35 weeks (An AT40 record), previous record holder was benny blanco, Halsey and Khalid with "Eastside" last year when it took 33 weeks to get to #1
The artist that had the most hits this year was Justin Bieber ... he charted with 7 hits ["10,000 Hours (with Dan + Shay)", "Yummy", "Intentions (with Quavo)", "Stuck With U (with Ariana Grande)", "Holy (with Chance The Rapper)", "Lonely (with benny blanco)" and "Monster (with Shawn Mendes)"]
The longest-running hit was Post Malone's "Circles" as it spent 57 weeks on AT40 dating back to Sept 2019, including 7 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on three seperate runs, tying the AT40 record it holds with "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd (more on him later) and "Le Freak" by Chic
And the Top 3 songs of 2020 are, *drumroll*
Coming in at #3 is Dua Lipa's biggest hit of her career so far "Don't Start Now", which spent 47 weeks, including 5 weeks at #1
At # 2 is "Circles" by Post Malone (as mentioned earlier) spent 57 weeks on AT40, including 7 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on three runs
And the king of 2020 is The Weeknd as "Blinding Lights" spent (as we speak) 48 weeks on AT40, including 5 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on three runs
