Ryan mentioned that "I Cry" samples "Piano In The Dark" by Brenda Russell, which peaked at #10 in 1988. And that "Hello" is sung 60 times in the lyrics.

[mkarns]

Again, as last week, they do a "Two For One" from an artist who has an extra elsewhere in the show (now Flo Rida, previously Taylor Swift.) That's somewhat redundant; for more variety, either 2F1 or the Breakout could have been by someone else.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, she scores a "jackpot" this week, and with the lucky 7's, no less.

[Arnold]

They played an extra: "Vegas girl", between #23 and #22, which is not shown on the chart above.

AT40 on 103.5 KISS FM Chicago didn't play Pocketful Of Sunshine. I <3 that song.

Okay. If Ryan announced it, then I'll include it. KIIS, apparently, didn't play it during yesterday's airing.

Going into the #1 song, Ryan mentioned that Maroon 5 are the first group in 17 years to score five #1 hits. For those of you keeping score at home, they were "This Love", "She Will Be Loved", "Moves Like Jagger", "Payphone", and "One More Night".

Boyz II Men were the last group to do this. Their #1 hits: "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday", "End Of The Road", "I'll Make Love II You", "On Bended Knee", and "One Sweet Day" (with Mariah Carey). Of course, this uses their R&R chart history. On AT40, ISHTSGTY peaked at #4. This was just after the Hot 100 was dropped in favor of the Top 40 Airplay Monitor chart.

AT 40, at my house, is powered by Florida Power and Light. The two Young songs are tied for
biggest mover and are played back-to-back again this week. We have 3 wake up/alarm songs in a row on the chart.
I was struck by how many titles are being used again for songs on the survey.
Numb(Linkin Park)
Your Body (Pretty Ricky)
I Can Only Imagine (MercyMe)
Hello (Lionel Richie)
Lights (Journey)
Too Close (Next)
As Long As You Love Me (Backstreet Boys)
One More Night (Phil Collins)

And similar titles:
16 Reasons (Connie Stevens), The Reason (Hoobastank)
I Want You Back ( Jackson 5, N Sync)
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover (Paul Simon)
Let Me Love You (Mario) - without the words in parentheses
Everybody's Talkin' (Harry Nilsson)
Last Kiss ( Jay Frank Wilson, and covered by Pearl Jam)

Also "Diamonds" (Herb Alpert), "Scream" (Michael & Janet Jackson), and "Let's Go" (Wang Chung).

For similar titles, I thought of "I Finally Found Someone" (Barbra Streisand & Bryan Adams), "Feel It Again" (Honeymoon Suite), and "Good Times" (Chic).

[richie]

Good ones, mkarns! Also Let's Go by The Cars.

You will have my utmost respect if you find one for "Gangnam Style".

A European station skipped this as well, thankfully I recorded the show from more than one station.
