I think it's great that they're playing "Loud Music" as an extra. One of my favorite songs of 2011.

On the other hand, playing "Secrets" is almost offensively unnecessary.

I've noticed that most of the filler songs (at least on CHR) are songs that have dropped off in the past few weeks.

Looked at the AT40 Twitter feed, and it notes that five songs on this countdown have been on since 2010 thus spanning three calendar years, those being "Raise Your Glass", "Just the Way You Are", "For the First Time", "Animal", and "Dynamite", which for a while looked like it might do that on the CHR chart as well (until it fell off at the beginning of December, after 72 weeks.) "Secrets" almost became a sixth, and it and "Dynamite" were among the extras/fillers in this week's CHR show (both versions had 10 non-countdown extras.)
