How many Breakouts is too many Breakouts? Now, we're up to 5 (3 Breakouts, 2 On The Verge). On the plus side, I like all the new music. However, if the song doesn't debut the week after it "breaks out", they'll just keep playing it ad nauseam (case in point, this is Austin Mahone's third weeks of play, and he's still not on the chart), which is kind of annoying.

Didn't stop them from playing "Glowing" three straight weeks before it debuted or "People Like Us" or even the immortal (sarcasm) "Harlem Shake".

Ryan announced what many of us have figured out by now...that Pitbull will be guest-hosting 4th of July weekend.

Also, I just noticed that both hash-tag songs are back-to-back, this week. Just thought that was interesting.

Good chart this week. I'm also tired of hearing Austin Mahone's song every week. Glad to see that Nicki Williams made the chart at #40. I have a question about the optional extras. Why do radio stations play certain extras some hours and sometimes you don't even hear them because they go right into the next hour of the show? Is there a reason why they skip some extras?

Probably time constraints depending on their commercial load. Perhaps some stations play the extras enough during the week that they don't think there is a reason to play them again. And some Canadian stations that run the Hot AC version of the show substitute their own extras during these slots, songs that probably come directly from their library that their listeners are more familiar with. I guess that's why they call them "optional" extras. :)

Yeah, I guess it will go up a little bit at a time. :)

11 extras and no Two For Ones seems unusual lately. I wonder if a bunch of new songs will crash onto the countdown at once, with so many that are supposedly close to charting. In Austin Mahone's case, I almost get the impression that AT40 is trying to push him up the chart, with the same song featured three times in a row and interviewing him as well. However, at least he's likely to make the chart next week or that after, as he's moving solidly up the MB top 40. I remember several songs that have gotten the Breakout or On the Verge treatment several times that barely or never made the actual chart. (Same for a number of "Out of the Box" extras earlier in the Seacrest era.)

Ryan said that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are the first duo to hit #1 their first two times on the chart. Soon they may be the, or one of the, first to have three songs on the countdown at once, with "Same Love" a Breakout.

You have to remember Austin Mahone was breakout during his actual radio premiere as part of the promotion. For a chart that is 2-3 weeks behind, this means he was "Breakout" on a chart reflecting a time period where his song wasn't even out. Thus it is lagging behind and will do so. Essentially he's going to spend an extra 2-3 weeks in the breakout/on-the-verge area due to this before actually debuting as normal.

I think they will be only the 2nd duo to have 3 Top 40 hits on the countdown at the same time. LMFAO had 3 all at once back in February or March of last year.

That also happened on the Billboard Hot 100 on the charts dated June 1 and June 8. "#Beautiful" was at #20 for 2 weeks and "#thatPower" was at #19 for 2 weeks.

The hash mark is pretty rare and aside from those 2 songs, I could only find them in 6 other Top 40 titles:

#1 – Nelly (2002)
#1 Crush – Garbage (1997)
#9 Dream – John Lennon (1975)
Westbound #9 – Flaming Ember (1970)
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 – Bob Dylan (1966)
Fool #1 – Brenda Lee (1961)

We also get back to back: a)"The" songs (again), b)Will.I.Am, c)Bruno and d)"Up" songs. Taylor's older song
still on here while 22 drops off. Britney was interviewed and said her surprisingly different sounding album
would be out by the end of the year.
Blurred Lines is a good description of what's the show and what are the ads on AT40 lately. (I know from personal experience
that Subway is also offering $5 and $6 lunches, now. LOL)
 But in defense of the show, esp. as I've read some negative comments elsewhere on the board, I think Ryan does a very decent job. OK so
he's not Casey Kasem. But he's been the host for almost 10 years now, and they have improved esp. lately.
No more laughing at his dumb jokes and not as many interviews. More music and it's fast-paced.

Yeah, but what makes this more unusual is that "#" means "number" in all six of them, and it does not mean "number" in the two current records.

[johnnywest]

One more duo with 3 simulataneous hits in the Top 40 was OutKast in May 2004 with "The Way You Move," "Roses" and "Hey Ya."

[musiciscool]

Am I the only one that thought Ryan's jokes were funny years ago? I remember sometimes smiling at his jokes. I didn't really like the interviews though. I think he does a great job at hosting AT40.
