[Johnser]

Great extras again! Especially "To Be With You" and "Hysteria". Except for "Landslide". He could have played the Fleetwood Mac version.

[johnnywest]

I can't even remember how "Hysteria" goes. Yes, the Fleetwood Mac version of "Landslide" is better.

Was there a question letter this week?

[jayman]

Yes, there was a question letter this week from David Turrill from Connecticut. He asked, "which acts have hit the top 40 the most consecutive years?" Casey replied by naming the top group, top solo woman and top solo man in this category. He said that the top group and top solo woman interestingly are from Michigan (interestingly Casey's home state). The group is the Temptations with twelve years in a row (1964-1975); the solo woman is Madonna with twenty-four years (1983-2006); and the solo man and all-time leader is not from Michigan but from England, of course Sir Elton John with twenty-six years (1970-1995).

By the way, this letter is aired between songs 16 & 15 in the countdown.

I like how the Question Letters have resurfaced again. I especially liked last week's about # 1's on both the Pop & Country charts.

Good show this weekend. Not sure if I liked how they re-did the clock in Hour 3. My guess is it was just for this weekend since they did the big story for Apologize instead of Bubbly.

I would imagine that there aren't many stories about Colbie, especially since she's a new artist and she's been at #1 for so many weeks. I believe they also did stories for the #2 song when "Wherever You Go" by the Calling had been at #1 for more than 15 weeks.

[Topay]

I like #2 stories. I agree that they're weird, but they come up so unexpectedly that I enjoy the surprise.

I remember in 2003, when "Unwell" had its 20-week run at #1 on Hot AC. "Drift Away" and "Calling All Angels" got #2 stories during that time. While "Drift Away" never made it past the #2 spot, the Train song indeed inched up to #1.

I guess as an exchange, Matchbox Twenty got a #2 story during Train's second week at #1 (the 'Dueling Banjos' story/clip), which was convenient, since "Unwell" was also at #2 on the AC version of AT20 that week (funnily enough, behind "Drift Away", which was in the middle of a monster run at #1 on AC).
