Going into #1, Ryan noted that Olivia Rodrigo is the first completely solo female artist to hold down the top 2 spots. Iggy Azalea and Halsey also held down the top 2 but had collaborators with them.

I'm so happy that Ryan played a snippet of Uptown Girl, took me right back to 1983

[gemini79]

Who did Ryan say will be guest hosting next week

He said it peaked at #2. Actually it peaked at #3. But we all know how they like to pretend AT40 didn't use Billboard charts once Radio & Records started.

[johnnywest]

He didn’t say “peaked at #2 on AT40.” He just said it peaked at #2 period. Ryan continued using R&R for their history just like Casey had been doing since 1989.

Ben Platt

He is indeed the guest host next week. He fits for the Hot AC show but he'll never have a Mainstream hit .... so i wonder is his "Imagine" gonna be an extra next week??

In 1989, I believe Shadoe Stevens was the AT40 host while Casey did "Casey's Top 40." So what chart Casey used then should not be part of AT40 history.

I get that they use a revisionist history. I just don't like it. 😀

The charts that Casey used from fall 1973 (when Radio & Records began publication) to 1988 are no longer part of current AT40 canon, at least regarding the chart data that Ryan cites.

Right. As I said, revisionist history. I understand it. I just don't like it.

Considering Levitating by Dua Lipa formerly featuring Da Baby debuted in 2020 on American Top 40 it is very interesting that it is still @#8 on a chart in mid August on the year after it debuted. It has to be a record of this feat by a landslide on this chart.

[warriorsdyn98]

Does anyone know when a song that debuted in the previous year on the American Top 40 chart has lasted so late in the year on the Top 10? Save Your Tears by The Weeknd has to be the record but by but how far?

[warriorsdyn98]

Correction . Meant by Levitating by Dua Lipa formerly featuring Da Baby.
Save your tears by The Weeknd debuted in the initial first countdown of 2021

[warriorsdyn98]

Looks like adore you by Harry Styles has the record that will definately hold in where a song debuted in the first week of the year and was in the Top 10 until late September. That’s impressive on its own.

[warriorsdyn98]

Will Save Your Tears by The Weeknd hold on to one more week in the top 10?? We will see

It is a record. No song has ever appeared inside the Top 10 this late into the year on AT40 after debuting the year prior. Pretty amazing record to achieve.
