Wait a sec. Does Khalid’s song “Talk” and Bruno Mars ’“ That’s What I Like ”sound the same?

BTW, nice set of extras though, even repeating the playlist and the song, sometimes.

[goodguy]

The sample used in "Love Again" has an interesting history.

It's from the 1932 song "My Woman" by Al Bowlly. (Bing Crosby receives co-writing credit on the Dua Lipa song.)

It was Darth Vader's Imperial March in the "Star Wars" movies.

It was also used in the 1997 song "Your Woman" by White Town, which didn't make AT40 only because there was no AT40 1995-1998.

If  there was an AT40 then, "Your Woman" by White Town would've been ranked at #5 or #6 on June or July of 1997 (peaked at #5 on Billboard's Pop Airplay on June 14, 1997)

It peaked at #5 in Radio & Records, and thus on Casey’s Top 40, on the June 14 and 21, 1997, countdowns.

I thought "Wait a sec" at seeing Glass Animals' "Heat Waves" on there. Good timing on AT40's part to get group leader Dave Bayley to host last week, as this week his hit apparently fell off all the way from #16.

No doubt, "Bad Habits" will be the year's highest debut (so far). No way it doesn't enter inside of the top 20 (if not the top 10).

It did debut at #14 this week.... should be biggest jumper into the top 10 next week 

[musiciscool]

I hope they don't screw Kiss Me More out of #1. It did hit #1 for one week.

With Montero's surprise leap to #1, this virtually assures Kiss Me More won't make it. It will most likely be replaced by Good 4 U.

You got #2 wrong.  I think it should be "Kiss me more", according to the playlist.

[goodguy]

Before "Love Again" plays, Ryan mentions "Your Woman," which was referenced higher in this thread. He says it "hit #5 on AT40" in 1997.

There are three constants in AT40's revisionist history.
- The show used R&R instead of Billboard in the '70s.
- Shadoe Stevens never existed.
- The show did not take a three-year hiatus 1995-1998.

AT40 started using R&R history as soon as Casey brought back the show in 1998. If you remember in Rob Durkee's book, Billboard was charging over $100,000 a year to use their charts and R&R was free. R&R was the obvious choice since the Hot 100 was significantly different in terms of what Top 40 stations were playing. And of course in price.

Guest host Neil Patrick Harris mentioned Shadoe Stevens.

Guest host Neil Patrick Harris mentioned Shadoe Stevens.

Casey’s Top 40 (originally a Westwood One product) has essentially become AT40 from 1989-98 in AT40’s current retelling. Which, with all due respect to Shadoe Stevens and ABC/Watermark, is understandable: Casey Kasem is generally regarded as the gold standard of countdowns historically, and the Radio & Records data is consistent with what AT40 would be in later years; if the show followed Mediabase’s weekly recurrent rules now (no more “Mood” and “Positions” hanging on for months after MB’s removal) it would likely be close to what R&R would be putting out today.

But it is somewhat confusing for it to treat the Billboard Hot 100 data at least from 1973 (when R&R started) to 1988 or 1991 as if it’s wrong or doesn’t exist, especially as Casey’s 1970s and 80s AT40s are being replayed. In fairness it was confounding especially early in the CT40 era hearing Casey give Radio & Records chart data that contradicted what he’d previously said using Billboard.

There's an AT40 Extra song in-between #5 and #4: "goosebumps" (Remix) by Travis Scott and HVME.

[momzquotes]

Eww... "MONTERO" song is so gross... Don't listen, especially to the young ones who listen AT40. So controversial.

Anyways nice set of extras.

*PS. Next week it's the girls and Doja Cat rules #1.

^What’s wrong with Montero?

Is it gross because it’s gay or because it’s sexual? There’ve been plenty of sexual songs on AT40 in recent years so…

wait.. did we just miss two weeks?  It almost looks as though AT40 just arbitrarily decided to go from three weekends behind the Sunday published mediabase CHR chart, to just one weekend behind.  Up until the 7/10 AT40 show, the At40 chart was an approximation of the mediabase chart from 3 weeks prior (example: on 7/10 AT40 was an approximation of the 6/20 mediabase update when Levitating was at #1 for its second week).  Fast forward 1 week to the 7/17 AT40 show, and the AT40 chart is now an approximation of the 7/11 mediabase update when Montero spends its first week at #1.  We completely skipped over the approximations of the 6/27 and 7/4 mediabase charts where Levitating's third week at #1 would have been, then Kiss Me More's one week at #1.

Can anyone validate this??
