Actually, I think that would be a great idea for the A/C version of the show. That way, we'd get to hear the A/C songs that never get into the Top 20, the ones that radio stations never play at all. Maybe that would somehow get the stations to play those songs and the charts would move a little faster. For those of you who don't get AT20 (mainstream A/C), you might be surprised to know that there are two songs that were released way back in 2000 that are STILL on the chart, in the Top Ten (although I think Lee Ann Womack dropped out of the Top Ten this weekend). But "If You're Gone" by Matchbox Twenty is still well inside the Top Ten. So that should give you an idea of how slow the A/C chart moves. But if AT20 was converted into a four hour show by adding ten songs and still playing the Extras, that just might have an effect on the chart.
