DROPPERS:
Iggy Azalea featuring Jennifer Hudson - Trouble (from #39, 2 weeks on)
One Direction - Night Changes (from #23, 20 weeks on)

- Nick Jonas has the only Top 10 entry this week so no "Two-For-One"
- There are three songs in the last segment meaning Seacrest has a big interview lined up. Any guesses? (I won't guess as my last ones failed miserably)

[Cerebro]

This is the third week in a row that "Overload" is played in one of the Breakout/On The Verge slots. I don't think it's going to make it.

It seems AT40 is playing the Weeknd/Diplo version of "Elastic Heart" (at least that's what it, apparently, says on the cue sheets). I've only heard the solo version on the radio, myself. I wonder which version is getting more play.

As we all anticipated, "See You Again" is the biggest mover. At 14 notches, It's the second biggest jump of the year, so far. "Thinking Out Loud" climbed 19 spots back in January.

[musiciscool]

I wouldn't be surprised to see "See You Again" jump into The Top 10 next week. It's exploding right now on The Mediabase Chart.

[Deleted]

Diplo double dips with two entries on the Breakout and Buzz songs. Ironically, Elastic Heart isn't fresh at all since it is actually from 2013.

Blank Space has now fallen one spot for four straight weeks.

It's very likely there will be three straight movie soundtracks at #1.

i will guess that the interview is one of the American Idol judges, since their finale is this week?

Unless I'm mistaken, that hasn't happened since 1998. We had "Uninvited" and "Iris" from City Of Angels (also the last time we had back-to-back #1s from the same movie) and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" from Armageddon.

RE: The interview - I wouldn't be surprised if it's J. Lo, again.

It looks like that is the version that is being promoted. Or at least on Wikipedia:

Looks like you're right. Sort of. Just tuned in to iHeart and it looked like I heard an interview clip with J.Lo but it was before #25 so most likely different interview subject for Top 3 (Adam Levine, maybe?).

Turns out Ellie Goulding is the last segment interview this weekend.

I'm assuming because she has the #1 song again this week.

Ryan mentioned that when back announcing the song.

[moonlightshadow]

Actually it's the third biggest jumper of the year as The Hanging Tree climbed 18 notches the same week as Thinking Out Loud climbed 19.

[richie]

Ryan also talked briefly to Britney Spears by phone. She hurt her ankle recently while performing, but seems to be OK. And
he played part of her new song with Iggy. Sam Smith kicked off both the first and second half of the show. We got 3 T songs
in a row during the third hour, and 3 S songs in the top 5. I have See You Again running thru my head, but unfortunately
it's the one by Miley. I like Honey I'm Good which has a nice John Denverish vibe. Ryan also praised Andy Grammer for
his philanthropy. Night Changes had a good run esp. for not making the top 10. Extras were rather well placed this week.

Good top 40 this week.
