The top nine songs are all #1 tunes - I wonder if this has happened before.

Ryan said that Good Luck, Babe might be the only song on the countdown that doesn't have a video, wrong. Saturn,I'm Not Okay and We Pray doesn't have a video

[gemini44]

Slow It Down made it to the top 10 after all

[Pbmeditor]

IMO, it's better that "Lovin On Me" was an exit this week because I feel like the descent of "Feather" was a lot quicker than I had expected it to be, and depending on how long the latter will hold on to the kickoff position, I'm glad it was not an exit.

Kind of surprised to hear "Stay" and "Party Rock Anthem" as extras. The show needs to play more extras like them. Hearing the same old ones they usually play are overdone.

And Cake by the Ocean is played frequently as well. Was last heard on the 8/3 show, which I do believe that was the chart where Joe Jonas was guest hosting.

This week we have It's OK, I'm OK and I Am Not Okay

It definitely never happened before, in the Ryan Seacrest and Casey Casum days. It was mentioned the last few week that it was an oddity that 8 of top 10 songs were number one’s. It will never happen again. Hour 3 or 11-20 has been the abyss or black hole for many songs these year on their rise up the countdown.

Thanks. All I can say is "Never Say Never". As for the black hole... sure, although I never need to hear "Beautiful Things" again.

Got a challenging trivia question to put out. One of the artists on this week's countdown was in the music video for "That's Not How This Works" by Charlie Puth featuring Dan + Shay. Who is that artist?

Don’t remind us of that horrific guest host stretch from Ryan Seacrest being out with Joe Jonas, Pat manahan from Train, and The Swallows which thankfully never made the AT40 countdown with Calling After Me

[gemini44]

I wonder if Pathetic will re-enter

100% agree. It is so much better when Ryan is hosting the countdown.

It looks like Sabrina carpenter will keep her 4 song appearances on the AT 40 chart when Bad Chem debuts with Nonsense about to fall off. Who saw this Sabrina Carpenter surge coming? SMH.

[warriorsdyn98]

2 songs head into October that debuted last year in 2023. Very impressive by Sabrina Carpenter and Teddy Swims considering we are in October.
