"Cups" spent 7 weeks #1 on my Favorites List and was my #1 Favorite of 2013.

[gemini79]

Looks like there's alot of debuts this week: I Like That, Industry Baby, Wild Side, Traitor, Skate

[superxpaul]

Ben Platt just hinted that Bazzi will be our guest host for next week! Guess Ryan is taking a vacation…

[goodguy]

Frustrating that iHeart is still playing last week's show. It is usually updated by now. I sent them an email ([e-mail]). Sometimes they answer; sometimes they don't.

[warriorsdyn98]

Still has last week’s show on at 3pm eastern. Hopefully when this version wraps up in 10 minutes the one that is playing then they can play the current week.

[gemini79]

Hopefully this weeks show will be playing by 7 or 8 pm EST

[Cerebro]

Looks like the iHeart station is still running last week's show, as of right now (5:00 PM Eastern).

[Cerebro]

The iHeart station is, still, having problems. I'm hearing nothing but dead air, right now (8:30 AM EDT). Looks like I'll be listening to the show on KIIS, this morning (if they don't screw it up).

[gemini79]

Now nothing is playing on the iheart channel

We might gonna expect that KIIS will SKIPPED the last segment...

BTW. I'm listening to AT40 on WNKI.

[goodguy]

I sent emails about the silent stream to [e-mail] and [e-mail]. No answer from either.

Apparently so, as Mark Consuelos filled in for him on TV yesterday. (This was after two weeks of co-host Kelly Ripa being out.)

This is apparently Ryan’s time of year for vacations; last year three out of four AT40s in late Aug/early Sept were guest hosted.

iHeart's AT40 channel finally updated the #5-4-3 segment at 5:07 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. Better late than never.

[warriorsdyn98]

Late August
4 songs left that debuted in 2020
5 songs left from the initial countdown of 2021

That is what you call staying power 👍

Really?

Oh by the way, I can now listen to AT40 replays anytime (in any country) I want to by typing at40.com and click play :)

[warriorsdyn98]

Amazing that Mood by 24kgldn featuring Ian Dior dropped three spots to number 37 American Top 40 countdown with Ryan Bartholamule Seacrest on July 3 and here we are 7 weeks later and it still has a pulse and breathing at number 40. Would be a miracle if it stays on this week. We will find out in about 12 hours or so.

[warriorsdyn98]

Will one more week in the top 10 for Save Your Tears by The Weeknd be sneaked in next week? And how long will the decent for Levitating by Dua Lipa formerly featuring Da Baby be this time?
