[mkarns]

Another large helping of extras, 12 in all. This includes a Two for One that is not in the top 10.

Three debuts this week, and one is all the way up at #25, the same entry point as last week's only debut. Also, two songs fall right off from the middle the chart (last week's 20 and 21.) Otherwise, no really dramatic moves. (Had "Elastic Heart" stayed on for one more week, then the Weeknd would be heard on four songs on here, including an extra and the new #1.)

I assume Ryan is back this week?

[matteeeb]

Intresting week, They expand the 2 for 1 for 20 spots, as 5SOS takes it.

Stitches finally gets a break as its up 5.

Really weird too see 2 songs in the 20-25 area fall off in the same week. I was expecting "Fun" too fall off but not "Elastic Heart", I believe it should have taken Uptown Funk's spot of 38.

And I dont remember hearing "Love Me Harder" being played as an extra(not an optional extra,) if im wrong could someone please link me too the date where it was played?

Good week

Assume correct.

I like many people are wondering about this movement:
05 03 (20) Fifth Harmony featuring Kid Ink - Worth It (3)

Granted, I liked the song but it's been burning on me lately. But that's not the main point in what I'm trying to say...My point is that...How in the world did 5H get up to #3 on at40 when it peaked at #4 on Mediabase?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hmm....

I honestly don't know. Probably just being gracious, I guess.

[musiciscool]

I agree about the #3 spot for Fifth Harmony. I am a fan of them and the song, but how in the world did that get up to #3?

As for the Two For One selection: meh. Would have liked to hear a past Selena or Demi song in the Top 10 more than 5 Seconds Of Summer.

[jdanton2]

Taylor should have dropped faster anyway so 5H could have reached #3 on Mediabase.

• This week's chart kicks off with back-to-back Natalie La Rose. In fact, the first five songs are all collabos.
• Nice to see that the Two For One is at the third hour this time. In a strange occurrence, this last happened exactly one year ago this week when Jessie J had the Two For One, as "Bang Bang" jumped all the way up to #20 in its second week.
• Pretty weird how "Shut Up + Dance" has the biggest drop.
• It's nice to see Little Mix about to hit the chart again, two years after going to #31 with "Wings". "Black Magic" might be their biggest hit yet.
• One Direction debuts for the first time without Zayn Malik.
• This isn't the first time Pitbull has left the countdown from the #20 position. He did it last fall with "Fireball", which also managed to peak at #18.
• "Beautiful Now" and "Cheyenne" are getting a lot of airplay, but on an ITunes basis, not so much.
• Fifth Harmony's "Worth It" shockingly reaches a new peak of #3 in its 20th week in. So this is the new sleeper hit for 2015 right here, people!

It's not too unusual or suspicious for AT40's placement to be a bit above or below what Mediabase says. The precise ranking may depend on what day's update they used, or whatever other ingredients they put into their "secret sauce", so to speak (like when they made a big deal about the chart being determined by "your votes", although that was probably never anywhere near as major a factor as Ryan's on-air spiel made it seem.)

Ranking "Worth It" at #3 doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. If it were somehow shoved up to #2 or obviously #1, then I'd really be dubious.

Who is that woman doing the Subway commercials during the breaks between segments? It used to be Ryan, but now it's this woman. Anybody know who it is??

[richie]

That certainly is a mystery woman doing the SUBWAY ads, and she was on a lot. But here's where the
plot thickens. As it says above, the SUBWAY song is by Calvin Harris. This is corroborated at the
AT 40 site ( www.at40.com/pages/subway-fresh-buzz ) but on the show Ryan referred to it as a breakout
both before and after it played. And the other choices for next week include SUMMERTHING! and Black Magic
which are already being played as OTV and a breakout respectively.
He thanked Andy Grammer for last week's hosting, and said Andy
was "almost too comfortable" in Ryan's chair.
They should have beefed up the 07-06 segment, which would have been esp.easy to do by moving
one of the extras in the top 10. Good show this week.

Depends which version of the show you're listening to. Being that Subway is a U.S. brand, the U.S. version of the show will have a Subway Fresh Buzz Song. For the international version (i.e. iHeartRadio version), the buzz song is, always, referred to as a Breakout.

I heard it on Y100 in Miami, so I don't think it was the international version. In fact they always call it the SUBWAY ... Did anybody hear Ryan refer to the SUBWAY buzz song this past
weekend?
