I heard from somewhere that Ritt Momney actually makes a rare jump to #1, making it even more odd considering I think it only reached #3 on Mediabase.

the Mediabase spin numbers are nowhere close enough for that to happen.

[Cerebro]

"Leave The Door Open" ought to have a really high debut, this week. Perhaps, even inside the top 20.

If so then that would be an even bigger headscratcher than "Go Crazy", which AT40 charted at #2 despite not spending even a day above #3 on Mediabase (neither has "Put Your Records On" yet). Which makes one wonder exactly what "special sauce" or whatever they're adding to the MB rankings.

As it stands, if you go by Mediabase then "Drivers License" should stay on top for at least another couple of weeks given the lag between the daily charts and the countdown, and "Therefore I Am" is the only other semi-plausible #1 contender at the moment.

i'm pretty sure that post was an april fool's joke post lmao

[goodguy]

A different sound to the show on the iHeart AT40 streaming channel this morning.

They switched to the new show at #23 instead of the usual #10.

They added commercials between segments.

They are including optional extras.

Nope, the number one song in the USA this week is driver’s license by Olivia Rodrigo.

Are the commercials the network commercials or iHeart promos? Other than that, it’s nice for them to include the optional extras!

They are in addition to the commercials that are embedded in the show, much in the way that a local radio station would add commercials between segments. They are also including iHeart promos.

I heart screwed up the top two this morning instead of playing therefore I am at #2 they repeated last weeks segment for the top two and had the same interview with Olivia and played 34 + 35.

[kaseyken]

i heart is still screwed up after correctly playing the 40-38 section they are now repeating last weeks show at 37.

The bigger question is why is "Laugh Now Cry Later" still on? It's way down in the 60's on the Mediabase chart, sans recurrent rules (and has been for the last few weeks). Makes no sense that it's still clinging to the top 40, here.

Mine was an April Fools post 😎 I should have followed up sooner

What's with iheart playing commercials and the optional extras

[kaseyken]

I'm not a fan of the optional extras and commercials felt like the show really dragged. I got spoiled with the three hourish version.

I’m not sure why they’re doing it like this, but I remember the iHeart station actually used to be like this with local ad breaks and promos (but sans the optional extras) from late 2015 until sometime in 2019 or 2020. In addition from mid-2014 to January 2015 they would play the full show with network commercials and optional extras (plus some random songs that weren’t part of the show whenever there was a gap from the end of a segment to the top of the hour) every Thursday night around 9 pm to 1 am PT and then it would repeat two more times until 9 am PT when they would switch to the 3-hour version of the show with no ads and optional extras.

"Fastest Riser/Greatest Fall

* This week's Fastest Riser belongs to Cardi B as "Up" (after 3 weeks) moves up 8 spots from #40 to #32
* .... while this week's Greatest Fall goes to "Levitating" (after 24 weeks) drops 4 from #19 to #23"

So one is WAY Up and the other one is de-Levitating.

[gemini79]

Skin peaked at 34 not 24

Monsters,Goosebumps and Demons back to back

[momzquotes]

Oh dear. Olivia's hit song "driver's license" has been # 1 on Hot AC Edition too.

Thanks, Mediabase.
