DROPPERS:
Walk The Moon - Shut Up + Dance (from #39, 29 weeks on)
Andy Grammer - Honey, I'm Good (from #36, 26 weeks on)
Charlie Puth featuring Meghan Trainor - Marvin Gaye (from #31, 13 weeks on)
Adam Lambert - Ghost Town (from #30, 19 weeks on)

- With "Shut Up + Dance" gone, that leaves a two-way tie for oldest record on AT40 between "Hey Mama" and "Worth It".
- Despite falling off this week, "Ghost Town" gets played as an extra
- The Two-For-One is back and what do you know? "Drag Me Down" did make the Top 10 after all. :)
- I believe this is Justin Bieber's first #1 on AT40. Most likely Taylor Swift takes over the top spot next week.

Wow at Bad Blood being the biggest dropper this week and BELOW Fight Song?! :O
I was shocked when it was below Hey Mama last week but Fight Song this week of all songs?! (Edit- AND...'SOMETHING BETTER'?)
(I thought it would to Cool For The Summer this week as the biggest dropper!)

1D finally enters the top 10 at #7 and it could actually peak at #5!

Stitches entering top 5 this week <3333333

I'd call this a week of catching up, getting the older songs out or with big droppers and letting some new ones come in with high adds.

"Ghost Town" fell off the chart this week at 19 weeks, anyone know the last song too last 20 or more weeks without reaching the top 20?

Would have rather seen "Night Changes" for the 2 for 1.

Also about the top 3, they've both clocked 8 weeks, that has too be a first having the top 3 songs with 10 weeks or less.

I hope Ryan announces that "What Do You Mean" is Justin's first #1 on AT40. Glad to see the older songs drop off completely or drop down far.

It's about time that both "Hey, Mama" and "Worth It" drop more than one spot (or stay the same). I like both songs, but they're old.

Overall, good chart week with new entries. Looking fresh with good music all around.

I don't recall hearing any song that lasted 20+ weeks without going into the top 20 BUT I think Remember When by Chris Wallace and Alone Together by Fall Out Boy came close by only a few weeks. Their peaks were 29 and 25 if I recall correctly and respectively!

This week's chart had me like...  :O

• Bad Blood drops 11 spots to be in danger of leaving next week. That shocked the life out of me.
• Three of the four debuts are by new acts. It's nice to see Lady A back in again after a while.
• Fetty Wap's latest hit should debut ASAP. It doesn't seem as catchy as Trap Queen, though. I don't really hear it a lot wherever I go.
• One Direction has this week's 2 For 1, which made me think. In 2005 (when it was called the Double Play), Sisqo's Incomplete was used after the Backstreet Boys hit of the same name played. That could be in good use for Ed Sheeran's Photograph, and the show can play Nickelback or possibly Def Leppard after that.
• Adam Lambert's Ghost Town is gone, though it's played as an extra near the end of the show. So it's sort of ironic that it's played on Halloween weekend.
• Responding to that question about songs lasting 20 or more weeks without making the Top 20, there's also Martin Solveig's Hello, which hit #21 in 2011 and lasted 21 weeks. Saving Jane's Girl Next Door peaked at #22 and spent 24 weeks in 2006.

I should've known that... that was my second favourite song in all of 2011 :(

Ryan mentioned that this is Justin's 14th AT40 hit, and that it's his first #1. Nicki Minaj is the only other artist to have had more hits this decade before having a #1 (16) (I'm assuming it was Bang Bang?)

Adele was also a guest, the first time she was ever on the show..

[richie]

A lot of "H" songs in a row on the actual chart. 34,33,32. 29,28. 18,17.
I thought last week's joke was amusing when Ryan said that Becky G should have
released Shower after Break A Sweat.
I contacted iHeart Radio tech support which assured me the problem is fixed, but
this week the overlap started again halfway thru #12.

I had been wondering if there was some way to contact the station and alert them to the problem. It's, downright, annoying that this problem has persisted for a month, now, with no, apparent, resolution in sight. How hard could it, possibly, be to fix?

[richie]

^ Here's the station's contact information. www.kmel.com/articles/contact-us-482827/contact-us-12017519/
Be sure to mention it's KMEL HD 2. I left a phone message with Tiffany there 2 weeks
ago but didn't hear back. They are on Pacific time.

I also contacted [e-mail]

This problem is truly theater of the absurd.
