#1 Song 1 Year Ago: fun. – Some Nights

Biggest DROP!!!: Fall Out Boy – Alone Together (–22)

Biggest Jump: Paramore – Still Into You (+26)

No new music this week. I know. Sucks.

The fact that Katy Perry is back at #1 makes me wanna scream. And not in the good way.

I could've sworn Olly Murs – Dance With Me Tonight would've been #1. During Hits 1 airplay, when they have this random singer that introduces themselves and say, “This is your most wutchuwanted song,” most of those were Dance With Me Tonight.

I also thought Midnight Red – Hell Yeah would've debuted due to its huge increase in airplay. I'm supposed to close up opportunities for songs to debut because it is the beginning of December and I have to make my Top 45 Songs Of 2013. But if it debuts next weekend, maybe I can make an exception.

On Thanksgiving morning, I checked the Hits 1 Weekly Schedule to see if the Weekend Countdown will occur. It didn't say anything about the Weekend Countdown. But then I was in my car later listening to P!nk/Nate Ruess – Just Give Me A Reason on The Pulse when I saw @BritneySpears on Hits 1. I checked and found the Weekend Countdown playing.

The fact that Wax – Rosana is in front of Linkin Park/Steve Aoki – A Light That Never Comes makes me so ANGRY!!! Rosana should've never came in the first place!

Is Robin Thicke/Pharrell/T.I. – Blurred Lines really still here? It is? Ok, that's all I needed to know.

Lana Del Rey/Cedric Gervais – Summertime Sadness in the Bottom 5 is unacceptable. Fix it.

If Katy Perry – Roar stays at #1 for 1 more week, they will have tied with Imagine Dragons – Radioactive. If she holds it for 2 more weeks, she will have tied with Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe. If she holds it for 3 more weeks, she will have officially broken the record.

Who is still voting for Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark? 'Cause I wanna have a little chat with them.*

Harry Styles did a track-by-track of One Direction's new album, Midnight Memories, this past week. I have to say. I am impressed. Well done One Direction.

Fall Out Boy did an excellent job at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade performing Alone Together.

Austin Mahone also did a great job performing his new song Banga! Banga!

Why is it that Spyder Harrison never says ft. Steve Aoki when he gets to A Light That Never Comes? It's strange because the electro-DJ says it in Ear Poppin' Music.

Wow. Fall Out Boy – Alone Together made the Biggest DROP!!! Of The Week and it was at #1 last week.

I have a new blog! It is where I pick two songs and you debate which is better. Check it out at www.bettersongdebate.blogspot.com

Now for a mini Hit-Bound review.

- AJR – I'm Ready is on Hit-Bound. If you haven't heard this song before, I recommend you not listen to it unless you want to hear how bad it is. It is an awful kid song with Spongebob's voice for kids who like obnoxious music.

- Haim – The Wire is back on Hit-Bound. No, that doesn't mean it was already on the Weekend Countdown. It left Hit-Bound the same week as Serebro – Mi Mi Mi. And now it's back. It is not good. It is an all girl group who made a displeasing song to me.

- Next we have Bastille – Pompeii. I never liked this song before. But compared to the other songs on Hit-Bound, it's actually pretty good.

Spyder Harrison, please come back and fix what Britney has done!

My Top 5 Picks
1. Linkin Park/Steve Aoki – A Light That Never Comes
2. John Newman – Love Me Again
3. Armin van Buuren/Trevor Guthrie – This Is What It Feels Like
4. Lana Del Rey/Cedric Gervais – Summertime Sadness
5. Flo Rida – How I Feel

*I want to discuss why it is back in the Top 10. Or even better. Why it is still in the countdown.
