Jason Derulo (1) – Week Of May 17, 2014


Jason Derulo – Talk Dirty climbs to #1 for the first time on this countdown. We had a heck of a week this week. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.


  • Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) (#31) (!!!)*
  • Midnight Red – Hell Yeah (#43)
  • Hardwell/Matthew Koma – Dare You (#44)

*This song debuted on February 9, 2013. It made a record for a song with the longest title ever. This band has had other long titles. This song slowly made it’s way to the top of the countdown. It was at #1 for six non-consecutive weeks (Olly Murs – Troublemaker and P!nk/Nate Ruess – Just Give Me A Reason were the interrupters). Pretty soon I got tired of it and Hits 1 threw it to #30. But then it made a big jump back into the Top 5. It made many big jumps and drops. But this super long tenure of 1 year and 3 months is what will really be remembered. This record may never be broken again! Spyder Harrison recognized it as “The song that won’t go away”. But it had to go away eventually. Every now and then, I dedicated some of my blurb space to describe how this song was still here. Goodbye Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up), you will (not) be missed.

Last Week’s #1 Song: Bastille – Pompeii

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: OneRepublic – Counting Stars (–21)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Imagine Dragons – Radioactive (+15)

New Entrants
~ Apparently, this countdown needs to have Fall Out Boy in it as we got an unexpected, but welcome re-entry from Fall Out Boy – Alone Together. Stay as long as you like.

~ From the department of unwelcome re-entrants, we have Zedd/Hayley Williams – Stay The Night

~ Bleachers – I Wanna Get Better is interesting, but that's all I can really say about it.

Let's Blurb Alone Together
~ This is the first time since December 14, 2013 that OneRepublic – Counting Stars is not in the Top 10. Talk about a long run at that.

~ John Legend/Tiesto – All Of Me is in the Top 3.

~ 5 Seconds Of Summer – She Looks So Perfect, Glenn Morrison/Islove – Goodbye, Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend, and Ed Sheeran – Sing all entered the Top 10 this week.

~ Hits 1 seems to be following my opinion on Travie McCoy/Brendon Urie – Keep On Keeping On and Pharrell – Happy.

~ Demi Lovato – Neon Lights took a quick drop to the Bottom 5.

~ Tiesto – Red Lights is now on Hit-Bound.

~ I can't decide the worst song on Hit-Bound between Fall Out Boy – Young Volcanoes and Jason Derulo/Snoop Dogg – Wiggle. Both are absolutely horrible.

~ Hit-Bound isn't very exciting. Sam Smith – Stay With Me, Tiesto – Red Lights, and Timeflies – All The Way are pretty much the best songs.

My Top 5 Picks
1. Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong
2. One Direction – You and I
3. OneRepublic – Love Runs Out
4. DJ Cassidy/Robin Thicke/Jessie J – Calling All Hearts
5. Lady Gaga – G.U.Y.

    Songs that need to leave:
    Keep On Keeping On- Travie McCoy/Brendon Urie
    Alone Together- Fall Out Boy
    Stay The Night- Zedd/Hayley Williams
    I Wanna Get Better- Bleachers
