AT40 - 2/14/04

[Hervard]

Could someone please post the chart? I slept on and off during the show. However, I could swear I remember hearing "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys twice.

[Cerebro]

Didn't start this thread Friday as I was getting ready to leave for a weekend ski trip. Managed to jot down the first two and a half hours, recorded the rest (listening to it now).

And no, you weren't imagining things. Alicia was played twice (although, he never called it an AT40 Focus. It was, evidently, just an extra).

Here's what I've got so far:

American Top 40 - Feburary 14, 2004
LW TW Artist "Title"

33 39 Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name"

Extra: Wayne Wonder "Hold Me Now"

DROPPERS:
Stacie Orrico "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life" (from 40)
Christina Aguilera featuring Lil' Kim "Can't Hold Us Down" (from 39)

NOTES/COMMENTARY:
[/li][li] Yes, I can hear the groans from here. "In Da Club"s 5 week trend has now been 31-34-29-34-30. The song can't seem to decide where it's going.
[/li][li] What's with the 311 extra? Ryan had Rob Schneider as an in-studio guest. He was talking about his movie 50 First Dates. That song is on the soundtrack. Yes, it's a cover of the The Cure song from the 80s.
[/li][li] Adam Sandler was the in-studio guest for the 15-11 segment. Again, more talkd about 50 First Dates, and another song from the soundtrack (Wayne Wonder). Evidently, the soundtrack is comprised, mostly, of 80s covers.

And it looks like you'll have to get the top 10 from the web site tomorrow, as my cassette player decided to eat the tape.

This must be a sign.

WHY oh WHY are they still playing "In Da Club"??!??

What is the URL for the AT40 website? I keep forgetting to add it to my favorites.

The first three times a song was played twice, it was high on the chart and played as an extra first. This week Alicia was played on the chart first. This way is better because if they play a song twice, the listeners don't know until it gets played the second time.

The first 20 results didn't find the American Top 40 website. LOL. The first result is Rick Dees and the second result is American Country Countdown.

(Really, it's not that hard to remember, is it?) ;) ;)

Also, www.americantop40.com redirects to the above url.

Sorry can't resist this one. The show puts me to sleep as well. It's almost the same as listening to a regular CHR radio shift.

I go into the gas station, then they play the next song without any back announce. I have no idea what number they are on. I guess, I'm suppose to go the website for this information.

I promised myself not to make any public statements about Mr. Seacrest. I getting real close to breaking that promise.

Exactly... I'm surprised they only play one song twice during the show.

Looks like this show does have some good qualities.

LW	TW	Artist	Song	TW	LW	+/-	Aud.
201	98	311	Love Song	96	10	86	1.136

But the opposite will happen next week (and the same goes for Wayne Wonder) unless it leads to CHR-Pop stations playing those artists in regular rotation. It really only helps 311 if the chart was a Top 100 and it debuted because of American Top 40.
