Another guest host?

[Cerebro]

Three weeks in a row of guest hosts? I think that's a first, isn't it?

[gemini79]

Shouldn't that be Chris Browns Go Crazy

[gemini79]

Only 2 extras this week

[gemini79]

I wonder if they're going to edit Happier than Ever

[gemini79]

The last time Elton John hit the CHR at40 was in 97 with Candle in the Wind 97 if I'm not mistaking, or was it Something about the way you look Tonight

My source says its Leslie Odom Jr singing it ...since he's another Broadway star that has a single out (he charted twice on the Hot AC AT40)

Candle In The Wind 97 was the A side when it hit the chart ....then when the hype ease up of Princess Diana's Death... it switch to the B side (The Way You Look Tonight)

On Billboard. But on CHR (R&R/AT40 - or Casey’s Top 40 at that time), both entered the top 40 in the very same week. Something lasted longer tho, reaching 20 weeks.

Both Anthony Ramos and Leslie Odom Jr appeared as original leading casts in "Hamilton: An American Musical" Off-Broadway and Broadway (2015-2017) and also in its Film version (2020).

Ben Platt guest hosted the show two weeks ago and played "Cups" as an optional extra. Ben and Anna Kendrick appeared in the movies "Pitch Perfect" (2012) and "Pitch Perfect 2" (2015) together.

In 2019, MAX (June 29), Andy Grammer (July 6), and Ava Max (July 13) sat in for Ryan.

Actually make that four in a row, as Alessia Cara will be hosting next weekend’s show as well, as mentioned by Anthony after playing “Sweet Dreams”!

EX Rhianna - Only Girl (In The World)

You might wanna double check the spelling here, it’s supposed to be Rihanna!

[divasummer]

I like Anthony Ramos.
I added 4 songs from his latest release.
Favorites being “Blessings and Echale”.
I also have a couple of tracks from his first release as well.
Nice to hear he’s getting some promo.

Dixie’s last name is missing from the list. It should be D’Amelio:

She's got a single version that trims it by 2-3 mins

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Wouldn’t the show already be fully recorded? Why would they lie on social media?

[musiciscool]

So Alessia Cara is guest hosting next weekend. Has Ryan ever sat out 4 weeks in a row before?

A pet peeve of mine. Yes, the show is recorded early in the week. But on the show they give a phone number to call to ask questions as well. I get that they want the audience to feel engaged. But I agree that they're deceiving the listeners.

Rick Dees has been doing this pretty much as long as his countdown has existed. Even back in the 1980s, he'd have a guest star in for an interview and invite people to call in and talk to them.

I listen to the Rick Dees countdown every week. I've never heard him interview a guest. It may have been true years ago. I suspect he may have repurposed interviews from his morning show and used them on the countdown. Ryan Seacrest does that.

When is Ryan's comeback after 3 weeks of relaxing and staying home of quarantine due to COVID-19?

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I doubt he’s relaxing. My local station still airs him every evening. It’s annoying.
