Ryan Seacrest talks about American Top 40's impact on music and pop culture

"American Top 40 has had a huge impact on pop culture. It is a part of pop culture. This is a show that was created by two legends in the business. An artist releases a record and an artist wants that record played on the radio, and an artist wants that record to be on the chart and wants it to be a number one song. It's a victory for an artist to make it to the top of the American Top 40. There's nothing like being number one. It's the best. To be number one is what you want when you're an artist."
