Commercial mixes

Have any of you looked at a commercial mix (as I have numerous times) on a frequency meter such as Ozone?  If you look and listen at the mid and side channels, there's a LOT more info in the sides than is "supposed" to be there.  Bass...kick drum... a lot more low end than I would've guessed.
 
Any ideas on how to duplicate this?  Is it done in mastering?  Is it doubled tracks or chorusing?  I really shouldn't hear kick drum or bass guitar in the sides (I thought)...but tell that to these two mixes below...new pop hits currently on the charts.

I'd love any and all thoughts on this.

    There are 2 plugins that I use which allow me perform Mid Side Processing, Waves Scheps 73 and Waves Center.      
    Please see the video below on how this works in the mix.
