Ryan mentioned that:

• "Baby Don't Hurt Me" samples "What Is Love" (1993) by Haddaway with additional lyrics and works by Ed Sheeran.

• American Idol artists such as Jax, Benson Boone, Lauren Daigle and Kelly Clarkson, made hits in 2023.

• Post Malone became the only recording artist who has 8 diamond certified singles or 10 million units, including "Sunflower" the highest certified single ever at 18 million.

• "Take My Name" is one of the most popular wedding songs in 2023.

• "Houdini" tied with "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox Twenty as the fastest rising songs (27 notches) in this century.

• Taylor Swift is the only artist who has had at least 1 hit for 17 straight years since 2007, including her longest running chart topper "Cruel Summer". She also scored 12 No.1 songs, more than any other artist in this century.

• When David Kushner posted a snippet of "Daylight" on social media, fans compared it to the voice of Hozier. He tried to collaborate with Hozier but could not make the schedule together in the studio. Eventually, as the second best thing, David booked Hozier's producer Rob Kirwan for this song.

• "Creepin'" samples humming [of "Boadicea"] by Enya in 1987. The same song was also sampled by The Fugees ["Ready Or Not"] in 1996 and by Mario Winans ["I Don't Wanna Know"] in 2004.

• "Calm Down" became the first No.1 song by Selena Gomez on this show.

• Bebe Rexha liked "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 in 1999 and reworked the song in 2017.  Since the song became popular on Tik Tok in 2022, she and Davide Guetta released updated version as a single. 

• "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus tied "Complicated" (2002) by Avril Lavigne as 2nd place (16 weeks at No.1) for the longest running No.1 song by a female artist, only second to Colbie Caillat who scored 17 weeks atop in 2008 [with "Bubbly"].
