Looks like a great list! I'm glad they included "1973" as an optional. I don't think "Welcome to the Black Parade" hit the Top 20, but it was probably #61 or #62 on the list (it was #60 on Rick Dees list). Good song choice anyway.

Interesting list. What does Optional Extra mean? :)

[radiobrett]

Many of the radio countdowns (Casey, Ryan, Dees, etc) schedule optional segments for stations to use at their discretion. Most of the time they are used, but if the station, for example, has a heavy commercial load or runs a top of the hour newscast, the optional segments can be skipped to keep the show running on time and not have an effect on the continuity of the show. The optional extra segments consist of one non countdown song.

The optional extras started in 2005 when Clear Channel began reducing their commercial load. As a result, less commercial time was needed for these syndicated shows and the extra song an hour made up for it.

Another thing I noticed was all of the songs on the Year End chart hit AT20 during the year. Usually there are at least 2 or 3 songs on the Top 60 that did not hit on the weekly show during the year.

Thank you for the explanation! :)

I'm rather surprised that Daughtry's "It's Not Over" was the top song of the year. I thought "Home" racked up more points; and I really thought it would be #1, and "It's Not Over" would be #5. Turns out the opposite came true.

[radiobrett]

I think it all comes down to the fact that the earlier in the year a song hits the chart the better it does on the year end chart. All those recurrent spins that wouldn't get counted for a mid or late year peaker get counted in for the songs that peak in January-April.

Like on AT10, Casey mentioned the tops of the other charts:

AC: Waiting On The World To Change
Pop: Say It Right
Urban: Buy U A Drank
Rock: I Don't Wanna Stop
