Pitbull (9) – Week Of May 3, 2014

Things are looking better in the American Top 40 as Jason Derulo/2 Chainz – Talk Dirty hits #1 for the first time. What's annoying is that Zedd/Matthew Koma/Miriam Bryant – Find You lasted only one week. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.

• One Direction – Story Of My Life (#36)
• Zedd/Hayley Williams – Stay The Night (#41)
• Lorde – Team (#44) [DTHNOBx2]

Biggest Jump Of The Week: John Legend/Tiësto – All Of Me (+22)

New Entrants
~ Robin Thicke is back with DJ Cassidy and Jessie J. Calling All Hearts is a good song to play at a party. It is a fun song, but it probably won't be very successful in a Top 45 countdown.

~ Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong wasn't that good to begin with. But I definitely grew into it. It's very........unique in it's own way. That's all I can really say about it.

~ Rixton – Me and My Broken Heart represents what I'm going through right now. It sounds a lot like Rob Thomas – Lonely No More. It's kinda hard deciding which one is better though. They're both really good. Me and My Broken Heart has been getting a lot of airplay on mainstream radio. That is good. Fun Fact: It debuted on Hit-Bound the same week as Calling All Hearts.

~ Finally, we come to Magic! – Rude. I really only heard that song once. And I didn't like it. Maybe it'll grow on me when I hear it more.

Calling All Blurbs
~ Hits 1 must've realized that they brought in John Legend – All Of Me a little too late. So they decided to boost it into the Top 10 on its third week.

~ Pitbull/Ke$ha – Timber has tied the record for most weeks at #1 with Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe.

~ I now understand what Lady Gaga means by G.U.Y.. No, she doesn't mean guy. She means girl under you.

~ Eminem/Nate Ruess – Headlights and Avicii/Dan Tyminski – Hey Brother are coming to far too early exits.

~ Strangely, I heard Glenn Morrison – Goodbye on The Pulse. The Pulse usually doesn't play dance music. Strange....

~ You know what? I don't care anymore. Fall Out Boy – (Too Long Of A Title), keep doing your thing. Same with you Pitbull/Ke$ha – Timber. Hits 1 know just what to do to get me annoyed. Imagine Dragons – Demons, Fall Out Boy – (Too Long Of A Title), Pitbull/Ke$ha – Timber, AJR – I'm Ready, lack of Austin Mahone.

~ I'm starting to hear Pitbull/G.R.L. – Wild Wild Love on Hits 1. We may be seeing that song on this countdown soon.

~ Passenger – Let Her Go needs to leave NOW!!!

~ No song makes me wanna change the station faster than Pharrell – Happy.

~ I'm at that point where I'm absolutely in love with Austin Mahone. Just when I thought my crush was fading, it jumps back and goes higher than it ever was. Hits 1 has a serious lack of Austin Mahone on their station. And they're clearly ignoring all the complaints I posted on the Hits 1 Facebook page about the lack of Mahone. Mahomies like me need to hear this guy often.

~ This is technically Bastille – Pompeii's first week at #2.

~ There is an ex-couple who's songs are right next to each other. Comment if you know who they are.

~ Sorry about the post being this late (even though it's only Sunday). Friday was my birthday. So my family and I went outta town for my birthday weekend.
