Now, let's talk about the shortest and longest tenured songs on either countdown. I know the shortest tenured song on the AT40 was G-Eazy/Blackbear - Hate The Way for one week, but I don't really know what's the longest tenured song was. But I'll tell you the shortest and longest tenured songs on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown. As far as it goes, we have some songs that didn't last long and we have some songs leaving the countdown and then debuting on Hit Bound. Though some of them has lasted a long time on there. So, here are the songs that have their shortest and longest tenured countdown run on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown.

Shortest Tenured Songs:

Louis Tomlinson - Don't Let It Break Your Heart (1 Week) (Debuted On March 21, 2020; Exited On March 28, 2020)

Blackbear - Queen Of Broken Hearts (1 Week) (Debuted On September 5, 2020; Exited On September 12, 2020)

Morgan Wallen - 7 Summers (1 Week) (Debuted On September 12, 2020; Exited On September 19, 2020)

Longest Tenured Song:

Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (37 Weeks) (Debuted On February 8, 2020; Exited On October 24, 2020)

And the last thing I want to mention is the Biggest Whiff Of The Year. That means it's the biggest song on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 that failed to be on Hits 1. So here's the biggest song of the year on Billboard that failed to be on Hits 1.
