that's a strong set of extras those are the ones i like and my god it's so so so hard to pick a favorite. have to go with stressed out and one call away, both among my favorite songs of all time.

pleasantly surprised to see sign of the times as an extra! i hope it's also an extra on the hot ac show, i don't think it's been played at all there since it fell off the chart.

[samlove]

Droppers might be 100 ways and rain on me. Literally the worst f*cking songs on the chart is come & go, cardigan, and nobody's love. I am f*cking praying and hope none of these songs make it to the top. If all three makes it to the top, on my grave I will quit this site.

[goodguy]

I also get an error message trying to listen to HiFM on TuneIn. But I can hear it here.

So two people named Fitz will host national countdown shows next week. A different Fitz is the host of Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40.

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

I think Daisies will an extra in two weeks so Ryan can announce the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom, daughter of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Savage took a big fall out of the top 10, when was the last time a song fell out of the top 10 lower than #25

[MitchWolf - ChartStan]

The rewind is from 2008 featuring guest host Steve Carell fumbling on introducing Flo Rida's "Good Feeling"

There is. Megan thee stallion fell 18 spots this week. There was a song by Foreigner called "Waiting for a girl like you" back in 1981. The song broke the record of the longest #2 song without making it to #1 in history of AT40. Song was #2 for 10 weeks. 2 weeks later when it hit #9, the song fell a massive 27 spots to #36 the week after. The song lastest 19 weeks on the chart from October 17th, 1981 to February 20, 1982.

[Fire]

even if it is one of the worst songs i've ever heard lol, i'm curious to see if ijws will be played as an optional extra next week. if so, it'll be the first time since james arthur's guest-host week where a hac-exclusive song gets played on the chr show as an optional extra (this did happen with andy grammer's guest-host week but don't give up on me was played as a normal extra, not optional extra)

[Top 40 Tracker]

Even The Nights Are Better fell from #6 to #42 (out of the countdown) back on Sep 25, 1982 to hold the AT40 record for biggest drop from the top 10.

Erratic moves like this on the Billboard Hot 100 makes the chart lose credibility and there were many strange moves in the 70's to back this up. Things seemed to settle down in the mid 80's until the big chart formula change in the 90's that made the chart totally irrelevant for CHR top 40 purposes.
