The asphalt composition comprises a paving-grade asphalt that has been modified with one or more polymer additives; and a secondary additive comprising one or more of a viscosity reducing agent, a wax, a salt of a fatty acid ester, and an amide of a fatty acid. The shingle coating asphalt coating composition is used to make a shingle. The shingle includes a substrate, the asphalt, and roofing granules. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A roofing shingle comprising: a substrate; a polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating on the substrate; wherein the polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating comprises: 62 wt. % to 80 wt. % of a filler based on the total weight of the polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating; an asphalt having a softening point of 60° F. to 130° F.; 2.0 wt. % to 7.0 wt. % of a polymer additive based on the total weight of the non-filler portion of the polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating; 1.6 wt. % to 3.0 wt. % of a secondary additive based on the total weight of the non-filler portion of the polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating; wherein the polymer and secondary additive modified asphalt coating has a softening point in the range of 200° F. to 230° F.;
