DROPPERS:
Justin Timberlake - Not A Bad Thing (from #40, 26 weeks on)
Becky G. - Shower (from #35, 13 weeks on)
Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down (from #32, 10 weeks on)

- Sia has returned to the Top 10 and finally gets Two For One treatment and interestingly enough she's sandwiched between two David Guetta songs (including "Titanium" as the Two For One)
- It looked like Maroon 5 would finish short of hitting #1 based on the Mediabase charts but it looks like they won't match Mediabase's #2 peak since Meghan Trainor has leapfrogged them. Most likely "All About That Bass" should hit #1 next week.
- Somebody must really like Snoop Dogg since he has two of the non-mandated extras this week.

Just like my post last week, why is GRL still on the countdown?

[mkarns]

Like last week, a lot of movement, though not particularly dramatic; nothing moves up more than 5 or down more than 8 (except for two debuts and one dropper.) Only three songs stay in the same place as last week, including the #1 song which with last week's position and weeks on added comes up as 1-1-11, which is about as close to an "AT40 jackpot" that a #1 song can be (since 1-1-1 obviously isn't possible.)

Fun if belated fact about "Stay With Me": it had the longest step-by-step climb to #1 of any song on AT40 in 37 years; in July and August it moved 7-6-5-4-3-2-1. The last record I can think of to do the same was Bill Conti's recording of the theme from "Rocky" ("Gonna Fly Now") in 1977 (using the Billboard Hot 100, which of course was then AT40's data source.) SWM's slip from 2 to 4 is the first time in 10 weeks it's moved more than one notch in either direction.

And while I'm not willing to do all the research at the moment, 17 songs with one word titles (19 if you eliminate parenthetical subtitles and extensions) looks like quite a distinction if not a record.

I'd call it the Two for Two this week, but that's just me.

It looks like the iHeart station has gone back to airing the U.S. version in the afternoons and evenings. And, as such, they're back to the 12:00-4:00-8:00 air schedule. They're playing the optionals, in the right spots, and playing additional songs during the commercial slots to pad the show out to 4 hours. I've been recording the 8:00 pm airing. Don't know if they skipped any segments. Will find out when I listen, tomorrow.

Listening to my recording, I'm please to say they didn't skip any segments (yay!). Though I made an incorrect assumption about the optionals. I caught the end, last night, and heard "Your Love Is My Drug" in the right spot. I assumed they played the others. They didn't.

^If they fixed skipping the segments, hopefully they will include all of the optional extras soon as well.

I sometimes mishear the lyrics of Trumpets as "every time the two get undressed" instead of "every time that you
get undressed". And the very next song was also about being Undressed. It looks like "Love" has almost
"Run Out".
Very strange games with some of the extras. There were 2 in a row after #33, and then I was expecting Bend Ova
to be played right after #24, but they went to commercials first. It's very unusual for a segment to start with
a non-optional extra.
Ryan talked to Chris Brown and also James Spader. Ryan has a new men's clothing line, and he said that 3 of the top 5 had moved, but he kept us
in suspense as to whether there was a new #1 song.
Does anyone else think that part of First Flight Home sounds a bit like Dante Thomas' Miss California?

Good run for Boom Clap but its time for All About That Bass and Shake It off to be on top in October... ABTB for the next two weeks hopefully !!

Trumpets, fireball, don't should all get big rises next week .

I heard Don't on three different stations in a matter of minutes today
