12 extras? Either there's not that much talk this week or a bunch of songs were shortened. Good spacing and diverse choices of extras: no two extras are back to back, and they include some older songs that aren't played that heavily as well as newer ones. As someone suggested here last week, an older Wiz Khalifa song becomes the 2 for 1.

"Bad Blood" is now the longest running #1 of 2015, unless you count "Animals" spilling over into January due to "frozen" holiday weeks (without that, Taylor might have tied her own mark with an additional week for "Blank Space".) The last song to stay on top for longer was "Dark Horse", with 6 weeks in February/March 2014.

I love this, except for "Budapest" falling, this is probably my favorite week so far this year all my favorite songs jumped up 3+ spots.

I was hoping "Hey Mama" could sneak in a week at #1 for a week, "Cheerleader" will probably be #1 next week but anything could happen

Cheyenne and Marvin Gaye debuting is awesome.


Wasn't expecting a 2 for 1 for Wiz Khalifa, thought that was weird.

And does anyone know if "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off" have been extras since falling off? Just wondering.

Ah, I love it when AT40 plays songs from years ago.

Case in point: Playing "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo. Oh, the nostalgia. :'(

[richie]

^ And Temperature is older, and will make you even more nostalgic!

• I thought "Good Thing" was going to debut this week, but it's still On The Verge... -_- Instead, "Cheyenne" debuts, while being heard for the first time on the show.
• With "Marvin Gaye" debuting, we have two songs on the countdown named after celebrities, which is probably a first.
• Sean Paul's "Temperature" and Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" as random extras again??
• "I Really Like You" gets played as an extra, but not "Pretty Girls" yet. Nice how they both entered and left the AT40 at the same time.
• I'm pretty sure "Young Wild & Free" was a Two For One while Bruno was still in the Top 10 with "Uptown Funk". Andy Grammer's "Keep Your Head Up" would be a good choice, or perhaps one of Bieber's hits before puberty.
• Seriously, I'm getting tired of the Two For One getting played only in the last hour. The last time it broke that trend was probably 8/23/14 with Jessie J in Hour 3.
• "Hey Mama" will most likely not make it to #1. "Cheerleader" might make it there in two weeks.
• I'm happy that Fifth Harmony is in the Top 5. I've been obsessed with them lately! "Worth It" has been on for 17 weeks and it's still gaining airplay! Might be a big sleeper hit!
• "Trap Queen" is so far one of the most annoying songs of 2015 in my opinion. I hear that everywhere when my friends have parties. As for "Watch Me", I like how there's nothing inappropriate about the song, but I expect it to be annoying as "Trap Queen".
• Is there any doubt that "Uptown Funk" will make it to 40 weeks on the chart? The last song to do that was Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us".

"Cheyenne" was played as an extra when Deurlo was the host 5 weeks ago, they usually play there new song as an extra( or breakout,fresh song of the week) Demi did the same with "Cool For The Summer" when she was hosting 4 weeks ago.

They wouldn't play "Keep Your Head Up" because very rarely does a song get 2 for 1 treatment when it hasn't been on the chart. Maybe a Taylor Swift 2 for 1 would be good once she gets knocked out at #1, I'm surprised she wasn't used as a 2 for 1 when she was at #8 and #4?(not for sure) it would've made sense

"Keep Your Head Up" did chart. It peaked at #24, in fact.

Oops I didn't know that I thought Andy had only 1 hit and that's Honey I'm Good

I don't think "Temperature" has been played in 10 months.

I don't.  I want AT40 to be all current music.  Plenty of radio stations are playing music from the past, so it's easy to come by.  There has to be a source of pure current music.  I feel AT40 is current music by it's very definition, even though Casey Kasem did play music from the past, it doesn't seem right to me.  And it breaks the continuum of counting down from number 40 to number 1. 
    Please don't get me wrong.  I like nostalgia too, but I don't feel that AT40 is the right place for it.

How is The Night Is Still Young still on the Top 40? All of my CHRs seem to have stopped playing it.

It was at 17 last week I highly doubt a 23 spot dropper would be logical, but it has happened with "Dear Future Husband" dropped from 17.

It will probably fall off next week or be in that 40-35 zone

[richie]

Actually there were 12 extras a couple of weeks ago. I like both of the songs that dropped off
this week. We had "In Love With A Girl" by Gavin DeGraw back in 2008. Honey, I'm Good is back in
the top 10. Only #'s 1, 2, and 14 stayed put, and yet there was only one new song that they haven't played
before. Silento samples Soulja Boy of all people. We got OMI right after OMG this weekend. I still don't get
why Budapest struggled to only get up to #19, and Cheerleader, which is another unusual sounding song, is doing so well. One of
the mysteries of life, I suppose.
