My favorite extras are "What Was I Made For", "Cupid (Twin Version)", "That's Not How This Works", "Heaven" and "Middle Ground", among others.


• 14 songs were played as Year-End Extras (including Requests) in this show. (16 songs in 2022, 15 songs in 2021.)
So, which 14 songs will be the Year-End Extras for the next week (version 2 show)?

I think that at least some of 6 extra songs accompanying interviews - "We Didn't Start The Fire", "Middle Ground", "Lil Boo Thang", "That's Not How This Works", "Mother" and "Heaven" - will probably be repeated.
Plus my choices/guess: "What Was I Made For" (repeat), "I'm A Mess", "golden hour", "One More Time", "A Symptom Of Being Human", "I'm Not Here To Make Friends", "Eat Your Young", "Waffle House", "Better Place" and "Used To Be Young" (current #1).
