still no AT40 on HI FM Oman because of Ramadhan week.

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

BTW for the next month's time HiFM will not air AT40 due to Ramadan ... and the way things are going on with iHeart AT40 channel and been getting the info early from my sources.. I will post the show order at Midnight ET/9p PT tonight like we use to.

Now i need to know when the iHeartRadio starting airing all of the show without issues ...in case i don't get the info early, i may listen to Nile FM, HitFM and/or Love FM on Fridays to get all of the show order

At least DWTD is in the top 50 on Mediabase,unlike funny from last year, it was a breakout and wasn't even in the top 50

It's safe to say it will probably be "on the verge" for the next couple of weeks, and then not chart at all.

"Provide" will be in the same boat as well... Will never debut since its slipping on MB

[Fire]

is it weird that i still have never listened to talk about love or star

[richie]

The chart date should be April 17, not March 27.

[Arnold]

Why is this dated March 27, 2021, instead of April 17?

Actually, Hi FM is airing the show this week as we speak despite it being Ramadan!

Guess they fear they'll lose AT40 if they stick to their obligations

My weak attempt at humor:

Maybe the astronaut in the ocean would like some cake. It's nearby.

[YodaWars1000]

Dancing With The Devil fell from like #40 to #96 on Mediabase this week. Why is it a BO?

[momzquotes]

Will AT40 still stay on the air even though Ramadan is still in Oman?
