After Chris Brown beat up Rihanna in 2009, he quickly left the chart and it was more difficult for him to make a comeback and hasn’t scored a number one single since, at least on AT40. Didn't they replace "Forever", which was still on the AT40 chart for a few weeks after the beating, with a song that was up and coming on the countdown?

^I think "Halo" by Beyonce debuted a week or two or three early.

There appears to have been a split for the weeks of 2/14 and 2/21/09 - apparently, there was an edit made available for stations who wished to delete "Forever", and "Halo" was put in its place for those stations for those two weeks.

I'm currently listening to the top 30 countdown from this week in 1996 on Sirius-XM's ''90s On 9'. Julie Brown mentioned, but noticeably did NOT play, the #7 song: "I Can't Sleep, Baby" by R. Kelly. As far as I know, nothing similar has occurred with a chart song on a Casey-era 'AT40', has it? Been awhile since I've heard a relevant '72 or early '73 show, but I'd assume that Gary Glitter's two top 40 hits would still be played. Was Bill Cosby's "Little Ole Man" kept in the very first show (where it was an 'AT40 extra') the last time that show was played? That I don't remember. To update this, last year the 9/2/72 AT40 was aired with Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll, Part 2" in place. That track continues to be used in sporting events, parades, and in other media (such as the 2019 film "Joker"), despite Glitter's wrongdoing. But it's worth noting that years ago he sold the rights to his music, so at least doing so isn't putting more money into his pocket. Regarding R. Kelly, Pop2K has returned to playing his songs in countdowns where they appear. 90s on 9 as of now still skips him, with Julie mentioning his placements on the chart but not playing the songs.

Downtown Julie Brown now has taken a key part of what New York City's WPLJ's customized Shadoe Stevens AT40 did 1992-1994, mention the rap/R&B songs/artists but not play them.

I don't understand how he continues to be so popular. The incident you mention was far from his only such episode, and he's also outright threatened people who disagree with him. And yet, zero backlash from radio and as strong a fan base as ever. Same with country stations and Morgan Wallen. That ban only lasted a few months.
