Yep, can't say I'm surprised, though.

Like a lotta stations, KIIS is no longer playing DaBaby. Will be interesting to see if he turns up on AT40 anymore. He’s featured on 2 songs this weekend.

Why are they not playing DA Baby

DaBaby made some homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami a few weekends ago, and as a result many stations have dropped DaBaby from their playlists, including replacing his remix of Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” with her solo version of that song.

I wouldn’t be surprised if AT40 replaced the remix with the solo version of Levitating, and also edit out his verse from DJ Khaled’s “I Did It”.

I could see “I Did It” dropping out this week…it is already about to fall out of the top 50 on mediabase

[MitchWolf: Super Chart Genius]

I think the script wasn't planning of dropping the DaBaby remix of "Levitating" but like the thing with the audio of Coldplay's "Higher Power" added right b4 taping and HiFM could replace it themselves, there may be a chance of that happening

"I DID IT" could have spent its final week on AT40 and great chance of exiting next week...plus intrigue of "Mood" leaving next week or week after...

[MitchWolf: Super Chart Genius]

Its official ... The original mix of "Levitating" was played on the show.. DaBaby won't get mentioned on "I DID IT" and his contribution of the DJ Khaled tune was edited out

[MitchWolf: Super Chart Genius]

Bazzi was interviewed after playing "I Like That"

For whatever reason when I listened to the show on Hi FM, he was still on both of those songs although when he introduced Levitating he just said Dua Lipa. Also speaking of Dua, on Demeanor for whatever reason AT40 decided to play her verse come first before Pop Smoke’s, though on the original song it’s the other way around.

Guess HiFM got the original tape b4 iHeartRadio forced the show to play the songs without DaBaby

Some stations downloaded the show before iHeart made the change and some after. For that reason, I suspect that this weekend, some stations will air the original show and some will air the revised show.

[gemini79]

Who thinks Levitating will fall off faster now since it fell hard on Billboard because of Da Baby, it's been done on Mediabase

[eddieonair]

It looks like Hit FM (Beijing, China) SKIPPED all of Olivia Rodrigo songs from airing AT40... Huge disappointment for me. Is there any problems?

[warriorsdyn98]

Impressive that ‘Save Your Tears’ by The Weeknd is still in the top 10 in mid August considering it debuted in the first countdown of 2021 👍

[warriorsdyn98]

Also Impressive as well that 6 songs on that were on the first countdown of 2021 and still 5 that debuted in 2020. Long lasting music 👍

[momzquotes]

Hope that iHeart will play the solo version of "Levitating" by Dua Lipa.
