[musiciscool]

My favorite extras for this week are Dandelions, Left and Right, Anti-Hero, Complete Mess, Wild Blue, and I'm Good (Blue).

[superxpaul]

FYI: It’s Message In A Bottle, not Message In The Bottle 😉

[Fire]

one right now at #25 without ever making the top 10, does anyone know the highest a non-top 10 peaking song has been on the tear-end?

[upland1425]

Question:

Which song do you like to listen to as the AT40 Year-End Countdown Extra (or AT40 Request aka. Optional Extra) for next week?
If they follow this week's pattern, 12 Extras and 4 AT40 Requests (16 in total) will be played.

My choices:
"The Joker & The Queen", "Love It When You Hate Me", "Bad For Me", "Victoria's Secret", "Ghost Town", "she's all i wanna be", "Sacrifice", "Easy Lover", "I Don't Smoke" and "Daylight"

[johnnywest]

I like all those choices. Maybe add “Glimpse of Us” by Joji.

Not sure but when Casey would do a Top 60, he’d mention that the non-top 20 songs had spent a lot of time bubbling under and had earned enough points to make the year end chart. For example, in 2001 there was “Silence” by Delirium featuring Sarah McLachlan, which peaked around #25.

I agree that all of those are good choices.

Interesting that "You Right" peaked at #26 on both the Hot AC and Pop AT40.

[johnnywest]

Also “Leave Before You Love Me” is at #23 for both 2021 and 2022.
