Taylor promoes her new work, better saying. She's also only the second AT40 guest host to announce themselves at #1. Katy Perry was the first, in 2009. Taylor did come close to doing so two years ago, when she guest hosted on a week when she was at #3, down from a peak position of 2. |

2nd guest host in a row as Demi Lovato hosts this week.
As a side note, it's clearly evident that the AT40 staff (or probably more accurately, "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" staff) is cutting corners and not paying close attention, because at the end of the article posted above it says, "To listen to Ed on AT40, click HERE for station information!" This is left over from when Ed Sheeran was hosting and they copy/pasted the article for him (even the spiel of talking about her single and taking fan questions is in both). |

Ryan must be too busy with his knock knock show. This is getting so bad maybe the next time Ryan actually hosts, he would be the "guest host".

Ryan must be too busy with his knock knock show. This is getting so bad maybe the next time Ryan actually hosts, he would be the "guest host". This was Ryan's first off time for the calendar year so far I believe, and if not since January. It is common for him to take 2 weeks in a row for the first two weeks of July. I know you will take any opportunity to slam Ryan, but he is typically only out 4-5 weeks a year, compared with Casey routinely taking 10 a year in the second half of his countdown career. Would you rather he just track two weeks worth of shows before he takes time off and have the chart be even more off? Ryan is a good broadcaster and a good television host, and in this day and age he is smart to not just limit himself to hosting American Top 40. It bothers me when people slam Ryan and his show simply because he isn't Casey. If Casey had taken two weeks in a row, which he did a few times, no one would say a word. |

I'll give you that possibly he hosts AT40 more now than he ever has, but the reason this thread was created is because of the perception that Ryan's last priority in his career is AT40. That's why, although I agree with you he's a good broadcaster and TV host, no one who loves American Top 40 will ever respect him as much as Casey or Shadoe. Heck, Shadoe had Hollywood Squares and a TV acting career, but still put AT40 first, even with the s*** he was given from ABC. Now AT40 is an offshoot of his "On Air" show. Sorry but Ryan deserves some criticism on how he is handling the AT40 franchise. |

I respect him for what he does as much as I would Casey or Shadoe. In today's world, I can't say I blame the guy for overextending himself and I honestly can't say I would put AT40 as top priority either. The show is not as important as it was when it was *the* source of chart information. It's an entertainment show first, and it does very well whereas a show done in Casey or Shadoe's style would not fit with CHR in 2015.
AT40 is likely more of a true labor of love for Ryan. He doesn't need it and I am sure it makes him far less money than his other ventures. Iheartmedia tells him how to do it, and he does it well.

Sorry but Ryan deserves some criticism on how he is handling the AT40 franchise. Maybe it's a generational thing. The difference in formats (which I don't think is mainly Ryan's fault) can be jarring to fans of the classic Casey/Shadoe shows, but it's worth noting that after 11 1/2 years there's basically a whole generation of current AT40 listeners, many of whom must love the show, that have never known anything but Seacrest hosting it. Unless, that is, listening to it inspired them to also start listening to the Casey rebroadcasts, something that Ryan would surely be pleased to know of. |

I listened to a 1988 Shadoe show the other day. I enjoyed it, but I would honestly say Shadoe's style would actually be more dated than Casey's if he hosted with that style today.
Look at the sitcoms of that era compared with today. A completely different style. Things evolve even if we don't always like what they evolve into.

Sorry, but I don't always buy that things have to "evolve" to appeal to today's listener or viewer. Iconic entertainment really does not.
Look at "Wheel of Fortune" or "Jeopardy" or "60 Minutes" or "Meet The Press" or "Entertainment Tonight" the same shows for the last 30+ years and still played/formatted the same way. "New generations" still watch old shows on TV Land or Andy Griffith in syndication. If you want to say, that's apples and oranges, then take other radio countdown institutions: American Country Countdown and Bob Kingsley's Top 40. Neither of these shows are that far off from when the style in which they were originally created and still are going strong without a host forcing their own style on it.
Are you telling me that these hosts and shows don't have a "new" generation of listeners/viewers as AT40 does? Why does AT40 have to be an also ran to Ryan's other ventures? AT40 is an iconic institution as much as any radio or TV show. American Top 40 deserves better. American Top 40 deserves to be a priority to someone.
Why did AT40 have to "evolve"? It doesn't really, and it hasn't. It's actually regressed. It has been adapted to Ryan's style of his "On Air Show". Many of the "Current AT40 listeners" probably don't even know it's a different show.
I dont' really see what Shadoes' style in 1988 has to do with the topic of the current state of AT40.

Sorry but Ryan deserves some criticism on how he is handling the AT40 franchise. As a host, I find him better than Shadoes latter years and on par with him in terms of respect as a host. Comparing anyone to Casey Kasem who hosted shows for 39 years and was the co-creator of such an endeavor is ridiculous. No, he doesn't deserve criticism because he hasn't done anything wrong to it. There are writers, programmers, radio execs, etc all involved in the production of his shows. Its not all him any more than CT40/AT40 version 2 were all Casey's. For over 11 d**n years I've been hearing how he sucks, he won't make it 5 years, he won't make it 10...well here it is beyond 11 and he's going strong. In terms of AT40 host longevity he's done so longer than Shadoe, longer than Casey Kasems second stint, and in 7 years he will hosted longer continually than any other. Regardless of what you think, that says something about his talent, ability, and interest in doing the show. A show he himself listened to growing up and admiring the host of! |
