Better Place never been out of the Top 20,debuting at 15 and only getting up to 14 lol

[Top 40 Tracker]

Calm Down sets the record for longest stay ever inside the Top 10...38 weeks.

The "USA Top 40 Survey" Countdown Show

[gemini79]

On My Love has made it to 37

[Glass Joe]

It’s looking like Calm Down is going to challenge Dynamite for highest number of weeks on the chart. Dynamite had an impressive 72 weeks on the chart, but Calm Down only needs 19 more to beat it. Good chance it happens since it’s still in the Top 10. Unless it were to start falling fast, but I don’t think it will. This is going to be interesting.

Sad to see that Pretty Girl is done, wish it did better

True that. It is a sad but reoccurring theme this year- artists from yester-decade having a hard time gaining traction on today's charts. But at least that song did better on the Hot AC countdown where it is spending its third week in the top 10.

Also congratulations to Ryan Seacrest who extended his contract through 2027 with Iheart. Now if we could just get AT 40 the 2000s and the 2010s reruns syndicated....

Cooler Than Me opt xtra was played ft Big Sean, as usual since regular countdown in 2010, and not the singles mix.

I think Mike Posner did ok with guest hosting.

Ryan Seacrest later mentions he will be hosting New Years Eve Rockin on ABC and go to at40.com

In very end of show, Mike Posner mentions share new album, and Blackbear's work on it.

A snippet of upcoming song, OMG by Mike Posner, in 4th hour played

With Ryan under contract through the end of 2027, that would extend his run as AT40 host to almost 24 years. He is, now, poised to overtake Casey as AT40's longest tenured host. Casey logged a combined total of 23 years, 10 months as AT40's host. His original run ran 18 years, 1 month (1970 to 1988) and he hosted the revival for 5 years, 9 months (1998 to 2004).

I wonder if "Better Place" is the first song to have its entire Top 40 run be in the Top 20, and never go Top 10. As discussed before, this song is more than a little bit of a fraud, so a quick exit seems apropos.

So, that begs the question... why such a long chart run for this? I mean, the song is ok and all, but not really all that memorable. I guess the closest comp would be Santana/Rob Thomas' "Smooth", but that really stood out as a collab between an all-time great and a relevant-to-1999 pop artist. "Calm Down" has the second part but not the first. That being said, I gotta think it's 50-50 that it makes 100 weeks on CHR.

[HolidayGuy]

That;'s quite a drop off the countdown for "Better Place."

Will "Popular" last another week, or will this be its last?

Man, it's been forever since I heard Justin Bieber's Boyfriend on the countdown. Not since before I started high school.

"Boyfriend" peaked at #10 in 2012. It was Bieber's eighth AT40 hit, but his first to make the top 10. (Maybe not coincidentally, it was also his first hit after his voice really dropped to an adult, or at least clearly post-pubescent teen, level.)
