Back to two "break out of the box" songs, to coin a phrase. They shouldn't play songs that recently dropped out, as extras. How about some stuff we haven't heard for awhile, Mr. S.?
Surprised there isn't more discussion this week.

[jasonharper2004]

they should bring back AT 40 Rewind or AT40.com Request

[BillboardBoy]

It didn't bother me to hear BSB and BFS as optionals, since those 2 songs didn't spend much time on the countdown. At least Trick Daddy wasn't played as one of the optionals.

I like how ex-couple Ashlee and Ryan are the two breakouts

[Diablo Cody™]

DHT down 2-8? WTF!

They should have called them the AT40 breakups.

And since those two songs are right outside the Top 30 on the September 30 chart (which matches next week's chart), wouldn't that be weird if they debuted on the chart next week? Hey, it could happen, if Ludacris and Mr. Brightside would just hurry the hell up and leave the chart. Or maybe "Holiday" will drop out of the chart even though it's still high up on the R&R chart, just like the Backstreet Boys did this week.

Kelly Clarkson, falling down three spots to #35, has just seven more weeks to tie the 50-week record, set by "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down. Can she make it??

Only one way to find out, tune in for the next seven weeks.
