Another, frustratingly, slow week. One debut, the biggest movers only climb 3 spots ("Everybody Talks" and "Payphone"), and "Party Rock Anthem" moves back up 1 (so, if you've been paying attention, 31-31-31-31-31-32-32-32-32-32-31 has been it's "movement" for the past 11 weeks).

Demi Lovato is guest-hosting. And she, evidentally, doesn't have much to say, as evidenced by the plethora of extras needed to fill time.

An awful, awful chart this week! Three songs move 3 spots, with 36 songs moving 2 spots or less, along with just one debut. Not good!

One big mover and one big dropper on the Hot AC version of AT40, though the rest of the chart is slow there too. One debut also.

The biggest mover and the biggest dropper are both up/down 3 spots? Lame...

This is the most frustrating week I've seen this year. The random rebounds (Without You, Party Cock Anthem, Back Home) are quite annoying.

Hopefully Demi Lovato does a good job. I always find it's awkward when the person guest hosting has a song currently charting. "This is my song, it's up 2 spots this week, yay! Now go buy it on iTunes so I can make $$$$$$$"

Not a bad chart! Happy to see "International Love" leaving, I'm really sick of it (moreso than the other lingerers). I still don't like their trend of charting songs that haven't made the Top 40 on Mediabase, but at least there's only one of those this week.

"Everybody Talks": 40 - 39 - 38 - 39 - 40 - 37. I see what they've done. Added it because they felt like it and slowly moved it around, were ready to drop it, and then it made the Top 40 on Mediabase last weekend so they moved it up.

They played "We'll Be A Dream" (We The Kings feat. Demi Lovato). I never liked the song, but it was nice to hear something I haven't heard in so long. It took me until the chorus to recognize it. I was happy to hear "Skyscraper", but that didn't hit the Top 40 on Mediabase so I doubt it made it far on AT40 if at all – seems like a bit of a stretch of that section.

I was hoping for a more "obscure" choice in the Two for One slot, like how they chose "If I Never See Your Face Again" last week which I don't think I've heard on the radio since 2008, but we were stuck with "Club Can't Handle Me". :(

As I said in Demi's thread though, I think she was an amazing host. I'd love to see her host the show every week if that was possible.

Demi Lovato is guest-hosting. Maybe that will be interesting…

This is the worst chart I've seen all year. B.O.B.'s "Both Of Us" is supposed to enter this weekend, but they put Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" instead. What a disappointment.

The biggest mover, "Want U Back," (+6) isn't even on AT40. And no songs within the Top 20 move more than 3 spots.

I'm glad to see Grouplove on there. It's a great song, and great to see it on the chart if for nothing more than to add some balance to an already heavily rhythmic leaning chart.

Eleven non-countdown extras. Is this a record?

Conveniently, as Demi Lovato guest hosts, there are two extras that feature her (one of which, "Skyscraper", never actually made AT40), in addition to a currently charting hit that moves back up. Taylor Swift gets double extras as well, with one recent dropoff and one (with B.O.B.) moving toward the chart.

I like hearing "Fireflies" again; with a new Owl City single with Carly Rae Jepsen picking up steam and possibly soon to put him back on the countdown, now was a good time to bring it back. Nice also to see them re-acknowledging Jason Mraz, as "I Won't Give Up" is already in the 20s on Mediabase. OTOH, "Young Homie" was a pretty weak choice; it just dropped off last week and wasn't a big hit.

I think Demi did a fine job. Strange that when Jimmy Fallon hosted recently there were only 7 extras. Also strange that she asked people to call the fan line with questions for her. Each hour
stayed the same as far as songs on the countdown, except for the dropper and new entry. For example,
21-30 got shuffled but all remained in the second hour, etc.
In an exciting move, LMFAO switches places with itself. Lousy placement of extras again. Starting with Eyes Open there were 4 extras out of a total 8 songs.
There have been 59 new songs at the halfway point of the year, compared to 62 last year. About the same.
The last 3 no. 1's have been by newcomers.

Actually, now it's four: The Wanted, fun., Gotye, and Carly Rae Jepsen. Most likely Maroon 5 will soon break that streak, with "Payphone" as their probable fourth #1 (and Adam Levine's fifth, counting "Stereo Hearts".)

I always think it's funny when the guest hosts do that. They do realize it's not a live show, right?
