I am just now getting around to hearing it and I recorded it off of OZ-FM. A Segment in the last hour from OZ had one song in it, an extra "If You're Gone" by Matchbox 20. Did they take something out or was there really only one song in the segment??

Paul, I also heard a version of the show that played "Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls" instead of "If Your Gone". That's the one I recorded off AT40.de from a station in Los Angeles. Before that, I listened to the version played on my hometown station, WMC-FM in Memphis. On the show played there, I heard "If You're Gone". Maybe both of them were on the show sent to the stations and the radio stations chose one or the other and maybe some played both.

I've heard that many of the syndicated countdown shows (AT20, AT10, Rick Dees, etc.) now have a 1-song segment each hour that is optional. In other words, radio stations have the option of whether to air it or replace it with their own local segments.
This feature was just added as of last weekend, and the optional songs are always extras -- never a part of the countdown itself.

The "extra" segment at the end of hours 1 and 2 also contain the end of hour jingle / top of hour sweep: "counting down the hits with casey kasem...(music)...counting down the hits with casey kasem". If a station skips this segment, then they can't use the top of hour sweep and go from hour 1 to hour 2 seamlessly.

Exactly. There's also an extra segment in hour three, but it's segment two of the hour, so no one would hear anything differently if it weren't there.

Today I heard a station that did not play the extra segment at the end of the hour. They had news follwed by a station ID, then Casey just starts talking about the next song. It sounds odd with no intro jingle.

On the first "new" AT40 show back on 3/28/98, they actually put an intro jingle on the first segment of each hour. Obviously, it sounded a little weird when stations would slam that on the end of the "Counting down the hits with Casey Kasem" sweeper, so I guess that's why that stopped.
