what a great set of extras! these are the ones i like. my favorites are level of concern and outnumbered (and the latter of the two just finished as the #1 song of the year on my personal chart)

btw, here are the songs that missed the top 40 of the year by a slim margin:

41. Kygo & OneRepublic - Lose Somebody
42. Lady Gaga - Stupid Love
43. Niall Horan - Nice To Meet Ya
44. Taylor Swift - The Man
45. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day - I Think We're Alone Now
46. Jonas Brothers - What A Man Gotta Do
47. Alicia Keys - Underdog
48. Sia - Together
49. Dan + Shay - I Should Probably Go To Bed
50. Ed Sheeran f/Camila Cabello & CARDI B - South Of The Border

using a point system that top 40 tracker originally introduced to me, i've calculated my own tabulations of the top 40 of the year using at40 positions alone (APM would've done this but he has unfortunately left pulse 😔)
