That was an early release of the chart, as AT40.com is playing last week's (which it didn't start airing until at least Saturday.)

So "Talk Dirty" does get its week at #1, Jason Derulo's third such hit. "All of Me" will probably be on top next week, and likely several more weeks after that. Quite a lot of movement further down the chart, with less in the upper half. Two debuts, with a predictably high entry for "Sing"; "Animals" scores a "jackpot"; and "Best Day of My Life" slips a notch, somewhat surprisingly since it's currently #6 and still gaining substantially on Mediabase, so it'll probably turn around next week.

Only eight extras this week, three fewer than last week (which maybe means more talk.) Zedd's "Clarity" gets played as "Find You" falls off after only a week; and Usher's still much-played "Yeah!" (#1 this week 10 years ago) is heard one week after the less heard "Love In This Club". Cool to see Hot Chelle Rae getting a Breakout after "Hung Up" missed.

It's a surprise to see this chart up so early. What annoys me is that "Take Me Home" dropped out of the survey, when "Drunk In Love" and "Say Something" were supposed to fall out. Iggy Azalea's hit should've been a new entry this week. Well, they're certain to exit next time.

Looks like summer's coming early this year.

Oh good...they're back on track. I should be able to record the 8:00ish show, then.

Nice to see "Lovestoned" in the "2 For 1" segment. They haven't played that one in a long time.

Welcome to the Ryan Seacrest era.

This week really looks all over the place.

The drop of "Take Me Home" is, believe it or not, right on time - it dropped out of the matching Mediabase Top 40, too. BUT, yes, both "Say Something" and "Drunk in Love" are getting extra time here (the latter is the other song to have dropped on MB; the former gets a second extra week this week).

Just to name a few...

Songs whose position mimics the chart matching April 26: "Drunk in Love" (obviously), "Show Me", "Turn Down For What", "#Selfie"
Songs whose position mimics the chart matching this week: "Summer", "Sleeping With a Friend", "Wild Wild Love"
Songs whose position...seems to come somewhere inbetween: "Sing", "John Doe", "She Looks So Perfect", the Top 10 as a collective

Out of curiosity, did iHeart play any of the four op extras at some point?

ETA: I did hear "Set Fire To The Rain" on my DAR.fm recordings but what about the other three?

The last couple of times the show updated on Wednesday, they have played the Optional Extras for Hours 1-3 just before midnight on Wednesday.
 
Otherwise, it seems they never play them. But they always play the Hour 4 Optional Extra.

So, on Wednesday nights, they finish the 8 p.m. countdown around 11:45. Then they play the Hour 1 OE, the Hour 2 OE, the Hour 3 OE, then they start the new show around midnight.

We get a top 10 shuffle except for #4 staying put. We get Lil John from now and from 10 years ago.
5 S songs in a row(30 - 26) and 3 A artists in a row (11 - 9). Pitbull bunch-up in the mid 20's, but
I like all 3 of those songs. Ryan interviewed Miley, and I heard that in the middle and thought it was
a guy. It seems there were more embedded ads and promos this week. Ryan again said something like
"all the way down to #2".
I noticed that The Chainsmokers harks back to an earlier era when groups had the word The in their title
more often. The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Pointer Sisters, etc.
Not as many extras, but at least they played 2 songs not played on the show before.
