DROPPERS:

Lilly Wood & Robin Schulz - Prayer In C (from #31, 16 weeks on)
Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song (from #22, 12 weeks on)

- Ariana Grande may no longer have two songs in the survey (it's been a while, hasn't it) but she does get the Two-For-One treatment instead.
- As expected, Ellie Goulding gets her second #1 on AT40 this week with the possibility of another "50 Shades Of Grey" song ("Earned It") hot on its' heels of replacing her. We'll keep a watch out for that.

I can't believe that "See You Again" only debuted at #30. It should have reached much higher. There's no doubt that there will be a big jump next week, possibly the biggest mover.

The Two For One: "The Way" is a good choice, but I would have rather heard "Problem" as the Two For One.

Also quite surprised the #30 debut. I was thinking upper 20's would've been about right. A big jump, next week, will be expected. I see no reason to believe it won't jump to the mid-teens.

They changed things up with the placement of the extras, this week. For the past several weeks, we've had a random extra after #39. They, also, spaced them out a bit better. We don't have a huge pile-up of extras at the bottom of the 1st or 2nd hour -- another prevalent trend in recent weeks.

Wow... congrats to Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa, that I'm surprised and shocked that "See You Again" now went into AT40! :)

Does anyone know what the snippet they played after Ariana Grande's The Way? Just wondering.

"Ghost Town", Adam Lambert's new single.

When introducing #1, Ryan noted that this was only the second time so far this decade when a solo female hit #1 with a soundtrack hit from a #1 movie. Last year, Charli XCX reached #1 with "Boom Clap" from "Fault In Our Stars."

Yeah, #30 for SYA. This is going much higher next week, just like it did on the Daly Download, with a huge jump to #5 this weekend.

SYA debuted right on target at #30 just as I expected it too based on the media base survey chart it uses each weekend which is usually the mid week published chart about 2 weeks back. Next week it will jump to #15. It will rise three more spots to #12 the following week, the May 15 show.

LMLYD will also maintain the #1 position through that weekend and based on current chart momentum it appears she will reign the top spot through May 22.
