Some interesting extra choices, though they're kind of stacked up early in the countdown; five of ten are before #27. Somewhat surprising to hear "Domino" played as an optional; with "Bang Bang" in the top 10 I'd think they would have saved that to be a 2 for 1 (then again last week a Nicki Minaj song was used for that purpose.) This week's actual 2 for 1 is a lesser-known Maroon 5 song, chosen over the band's many bigger and better known hits (in fact I don't think "Give a Little More" actually made AT40 at all when it was first out in 2010-11).

With "All of Me" gone we have both "Ain't It Fun" and "Latch" tying for the oldest record in the countdown; soon "Latch" will have that title unto itself. And "Don't Tell 'Em" matches, and should exceed, the #10 (Radio & Records) peak position of Snap's 1992 hit "Rhythm Is a Dancer", which it incorporates both melodically and lyrically.

It did not. "Give A Little More" is Maroon 5's worst performing single on the Mediabase chart. It spent 6 weeks in the top 50, peaking at #35. It never charted on AT40. Definitely a surprise to hear it.

Didn't it chart high on The HOT AC Chart for Mediabase? It should have been chosen for that format of AT40, not the CHR format.

You may recall, AT40 chose "The Walker" as an extra a couple of weeks ago (and of course if you've been watching promos during the MLB postseason, you can't escape that). :)

And, now, the iHeart station is back to playing the international version in the afternoons/evenings (on the 12:00-3:00-6:00-9:00 schedule).

My station, 102.l fm, in Philadelphia, didn't play "Ugly Heart".  Did yours?

I listened on Chicago's music station WKSC FM and I didn't hear it either.

^ It wasn't played on Y-100, in Miami, either. It was a cold start again this week. I wonder what they
were thinking when they made that change?
"36 36 (03) Jake Miller - Fist Flight Home (36)" Shouldn't that be Fist Fight Home? Just kidding.
It looks like "Summer" is almost over. You'd think they would get better at spacing out the
extras. Ryan said that it was an all-girl top 5 (except for Zedd, of course). I guess Taylor will
get one week at #1 on here, too.
