I'll post the whole show order around 9:30-10:30a ET every Friday. Meanwhile...

To Follow Along:

listen to AT40 channel at around 6a ET Fridays on the iHeartRadio app

... or find your station in your area at www.at40.com/howtolisten/ ..... Just type in your location... It will tell you the station

PS: if there is omissions and/or missed extras during the reairs and airings on your local station, go ahead and PM me the corrections please

They did all the new chart on iheart, though in a weird order: 20-1 and then 40-21 and till the top where we find some espresso...and I'd like to point out that, since the extra songs by Gaga or Rihanna played on the show are 10x better than almost the entire current top 40, that says much about the state of music nowadays. Sad, very sad.

they always play the old til close 5a or later on when the new one gets starts in around the position you mentioned

i was tired of getting my breakfast delayed til the end (around 8:35a ET) so i decided to eat breakfast first at 6a ET and then listen to the show

Thank God Ryan is back this week. Shocked to hear "Where Have You Been" being played as an extra. Way better than hearing the same overplayed "The Monster" and "Love The Way You Lie".

[gemini44]

Cruel Summer still holding on

[chickythelittlechicken]

Make You Mine the stable song that you are..

If Ryan were still doing the "Two For One" or, earlier, "Double Play" segments we might have heard those anyway now that Eminem's back on the countdown. ("Houdini", incidentally, is his biggest hit here since "The Monster", 10 years ago.) Regarding Rihanna herself, "We Found Love" and "Only Girl (In the World)" are often used as extras here and presumably as recurrents in general, though last week we got "Stay" which I haven't heard in a while.

Note the addition of release dates for extras (except the Breakout/On the Verge ones that haven't charted yet), which aren't always the same years they were actually on the countdown. "Where Have You Been" was released in 2011 as part of Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" album, but didn't actually make AT40 until 2012, peaking at #3 that summer.

Next week Disturbia or Take a Bow should be played.

The Swallows are OTV as expected after guest hosting last week.

The same goes for Poker Face by Lady Gaga. It says 2008 but debuted on AT40 in February of 2009

[kani]

To correct, Heatwaves is actually from 2021, re-charted 2022.

sponsors: meta AI, lifelock, SpongeBob 25th anniversary with all SpongeBob on Paramount Plus

#1 hip hop: Million Dollar Baby, #1 country: I Had Some Help

wow, so many interviews.

[pop]

There is finally a clear entire top 10 with all songs that debuted in 2024. Last record breaker, Calm Down by Rema featuring Selena Gomez won’t ever be broken in this feat in that it was still in the top 10 at the end of the 2023 year after debuting in the prior year 2022.

[Pbmeditor]

Ryan mentioned in hour 4 about Rihanna scrapping her ninth studio album while making singles in the process.

[johnnywest]

He also mentioned that "Cruel Summer" had been on for 55 weeks and that Kendrick Lamar was named after Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations.

[chickythelittlechicken]

What song next do you guys think is going to have insane longevity??

[jdanton2]

did Ryan mention Sabrina being the only artist with two #1 songs this year?

They are stalling in airplay increase so I doubt we will get the debut from the Swallows anytime soon

its true ... 

[Pbmeditor]

Another trivia question approaches. On this countdown, "Paint The Town Red" landed on the position it took for the 2023 yearend countdown. Do you remember which position that was?

[warriorsdyn98]

Very impressive staying power run by ‘Greedy’ by Tate McRae. It must be close to a record if isn’t. It’s still hanging in there at number 32 after being the first number one song in the opening of the calendar year and it’s mid July. This currently is the number 1 song of 2024 hands down 👍

[pop]

Will previous guest hosts ‘The Swallows’ possibly debut next week?

[eddieonair]

Next weekend (August 3-4): Joe Jonas will be guest hosting the show. He'll might gonna promote his new solo music project.

Another guest host? Absolutely rediculous
