Biggest DROP!!!: Robin Thicke ft. Pharrell & T.I. – Blurred Lines (-18)

Biggest Jump: Robin Thicke – Give It 2 U (+25)

Only one new entrant this week. And I have to say, it's about time. Avril Lavigne – Rock N Roll is highly addicting. After you hear it, you'll want to hear it again. It has a nice guitar solo. It's a little bit too “Rock N Roll” to be pop. The music video is interesting. This is the crazy side of Avril.

Demi Lovato – Made In The USA's exit was so unexpected. It lasted a short 5 weeks on the countdown. It was on Hit-Bound for too long to be on the Weekend Countdown for only 5 weeks.

Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines and Robin Thicke – Give It 2 U seemed to have crossed past each other. Blurred Lines gets the Biggest DROP!!! and Give It 2 U gets the Biggest Jump. I would have loved it to be the other way around. But Give It 2 U couldn't go down more than 2 spots.

I'm pretty much over Zedd ft. Foxes – Clarity. And now it's back in the Top 10. Looks like we're gonna have to deal with it for a few more weeks.

MKTO was this weekend's host for Hit-Bound (where half the songs are good and half are bad). MKTO also re-entered the Top 10 with Classic. :)

Also in the Top 10, we have Olly Murs – Dance With Me Tonight. This was not bad. A good week overall.

The Wanted – We Own The Night remains on Hit-Bound for another week.

You know how Imagine Dragons – Radioactive kept songs away from #1? Well, Awolnation – Sail is keeping songs away from #45.

Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran – Everything Has Changed is secretly #6 in My Top 5 Picks.

This can't be the end for Eminem – Berzerk. It just can't be.

Recently released music this week
- John Newman released his Love Me Again - EP. It has Love Me Again, which was iTunes single of the week this past week, and 3 other tracks I'm sure you'll like. At least I like them.

- Avril Lavigne has released a new single ft. Nickelback's Chad Kroger (her husband). It's called Let Me Go. This is categorized under the nice, calm side of her.

- Justin Bieber released All That Matters. It is better than Heartbreaker. But it still isn't Justin's best work.

- Enrique Iglesias released Heart Attack earlier this month which is currently on Hit-Bound. It is not a bad song. It's better than most of his songs.

- This was actually released in the beginning of the month, but I will point it out anyway. You guys probably remember Classified ft. David Myles – Inner Ninja. Well Classified released a remix of it with Olly Murs instead of David Myles which I think is better.

I'd like to say something to the CountdownRecap, the guy who also recaps the Sirius XM Hits 1 Weekend Countdown. His blog is at www.hits1countdownreview.blogspot.com. Check it out. Anyway, he's been doing this for just about 2 years. According to his Editor's Picks – Top 5 Songs, it appears that his #1, which has been his #1 for a while, is Train ft. Ashley Monroe – Bruises. However that song has fell all the way to #43. Do not stop voting for this song. This guy already lost Bonnie McKee – American Girl. The last thing we need is for him to lose Bruises. So don't stop voting. And Mr. CountdownRecap, I would like to say good luck with Bruises and enjoy MKTO – Classic while it's still in the Top 10. Also enjoy Olly Murs – Dance With Me Tonight because that is also in the Top 10.

My Top 5 Picks
1. John Newman – Love Me Again
2. Avril Lavigne – Rock N Roll
3. MKTO – Classic
4. Linkin Park ft. Steve Aoki – A Light That Never Comes
5. Britney Spears – Work B**ch
