Specialty Charts for the Week 4/27: Same Leaders, New View Entries

As you can probably tell, Stop the Bats (Remix) and Moonlight are still doing their thing, so let's talk about what's changed quickly.

With no new votes for any songs in the top 10, Under the Sun swaps places with Moonrise, as the latter had extra votes last week. In views, there are two notable debuts: Future (What Are the Odds) at #3 and Eeyup (Ode to Big Mac) at #8.

Now, what is worth talking about is the upcoming dropoff of October songs (May 4th), and the upcoming dropping of November votes. These are the currently affected songs (with their Hot 50 ranks) by the former:

• Crusader (Are We There Yet) - #18
• Pegasus Device - #26
• Taking Flight - Not Charting
• When You Were Here - Not Charting
• Ashes - Not Charting
• Daring Do - Not Charting
• Nightmare Night - Not Charting

...and the songs affected by the latter:

• Chant of Immortality - #9
• Mother Changeling - #10
• Destabilize - #12
• Everypony's Gay for Braeburn - #31
• Behold - #34
• Crystal Heart - #41
• Castle of Shadows - #45
• Inside - Not Charting

Also of note is that I am tracking the weeks before I started this chart, so that I may more fairly represent the year's songs on the year-end chart. This includes the specialties, so here's a glimpse of the highlights:
