Good choice of an optional with "Waiting For Tonight." From 1999, that's the oldest song AT40 has played as an extra so far this year (last year's winner was "Don't Speak" from 1997). Prior to that, I'm guessing it was "Whenever, Wherever" from 2001 played a couple months ago.

Last time AT40 played "Umbrella," it was the version without JAY Z. I hope they do that again this weekend.

Yes, it'll probably be the version without Jay-Z, because the same optionals are used for, both, the Pop and Hot AC shows. Likewise, "On The Floor" is, likely, to be the non-Pitbull version.

I hope Jennifer Lopez does a good job at hosting the show.

There are two Pitbull features in the optional extras; the other being "Mmm Yeah". Did that ever make the Hot AC list at all? I think that format's audience is more likely to recognize Pit than Austin. I kind of expected more J.Lo extras, as she has a lot more previous hits to choose from than Ed Sheeran does, but it's probably good if she doesn't use the countdown to excessively self-promote.

I actually thought "Maps" would debut higher than #29 with all the initial play it got, but it's sure to climb fast; it's the first Maroon 5 appearance on the countdown since December, though that's not a particularly long absence given that they were continuously on for over two years before that. I also wonder what's with all these songs falling right off the countdown these last few weeks from within the top 30, when they were still on the Mediabase top 40 during the time covered by this chart.

Austin isn't an optional, just a "random", so it wouldn't be played on the Hot AC show. Your optionals are the two J.Lo's, "Firework", and "Umbrella".

Based on the debut position for "Maps", midweek-ish data was used. I'm thinking around Friday looks about right:

Just factor in adjustments for the inclusion of recurrents. The high drop-offs for Neon Trees and 5 Seconds Of Summer don't look too far-fetched.

[johnnywest]

I've noticed the big drop-offs on Rick Dees' CHR version as well. First "Wild Wild Love" dropped 15 spots then fell out of the 40 from #29. That same week, "La La" dropped off from #22.

Thanks. I didn't see neither featured act on the cue sheet so they have been deleted.

[johnnywest]

They played a drop of "If You Had My Love" for Jennifer when Casey introduced it debuting on AT40 in 1999 and she said her mom used to write down the countdown every week.

[richie]

We get back-to-back Lorde, 5 one-word songs in a row(15-11), 3 questions in a row (6-4), followed by a top 3
of one-word songs. Jennifer, and last week Ed, did a good job, but I wouldn't want to hear them week after week.
Ellen K. has branched out and is now pitching body wash, in addition to used cars. She would be a great guest host!
J-Lo kept asking for tweets and calls to the fan line, as did Ed last week. So stupid! But her niceness did come through.
Robot lady now says "AT 40 On The Verge Artist", and the usual snarky remarks about Ryan. The extra after #4 should have
been after #6. (One of my pet peeves.) Good show, but I have to admit I'm looking forward to Mr. Seacrest's return.

[musiciscool]

Jennifer did a better job at hosting the countdown than Ed did, IMO. I want to hear an AT40 show hosted by Ellen K. soon.

Agreed. She brought some energy with her, which is always nice. Nothing's worse than having a host who sounds bored (I'm looking at you, Britney).

You can keep wishing and hoping. Ellen's not a "celebrity", so I don't see it happening any time soon.
