Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Hot Chelle Rae – Don’t Say Goodnight (–20)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Katy Perry – Dark Horse (+35)

New Entrants

~ Sia is back! You may remember her as the great vocalist in Flo Rida – Wild Ones and David Guetta – Titanium. Her song Chandelier is interesting and I would love it to not be one of the many songs this year that had a short tenure. It’s ridiculous. I know at least 7 songs so far with a short tenure.

~ Fall Out Boy – Young Volcanoes is an annoying song that doesn’t deserve to be in the Top 45. We’ll see how far it gets.

Blurbelier
~ On Friday night, I had terrible dream that Justin Timberlake – Not A Bad Thing was #2 on the Weekend Countdown. It kinda came true. I’m not okay with having it in the Top 3. It’s ooolllllddddd!!! I heard it every morning this past week!

~ Hot Chelle Rae – Don’t Say Goodnight took an annoying drop to the thirties. It is also the American Top 40’s tenth song with a short tenure. This song deserved more...

~ The biggest jump of the week is just as annoying. Katy Perry – Dark Horse was in the Bottom 5 last week. It doesn’t deserve to be back in the Top 10.

~ All of last week’s entrants moved down three spots this week. I’m pointing this out because it’s rare. And that’s part of my job here. Pointing out rare points.

~ OneRepublic – Love Runs Out took a random jump into the Top 10.

~ Pitbull/Ke$ha – Timber took a pretty quick exit for a 9-week #1 song. It only spent 1 week out of the Top 10.

~ Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend is one step closer to it’s eventual #1 spot. That song definitely has what it takes to take over the countdown. Everyone needs to start voting for that song continuously. We must get that song to #1!

~ In #2 news, John Legend/Tiësto – All Of Me is looking to see if it can hit #1. I highly doubt it. But we’ll see.

~ Every time Iggy Azalea – Fancy comes on the radio, I turn it up a lot. My mom thinks the song is annoying. So when I start rapping to it, she just says how annoying the song is. My dad loves the song as much as I do. We enjoy jamming out to it.

~ Imagine Dragons – Radioactive just become an annoying part of this countdown. I hate having to hear that beginning.

~ Jason Derulo – Talk Dirty is already out of the Top 10. 

~ Somehow, Travie McCoy/Brendon Urie – Keep On Keeping On is still here. But I'm not complaining.

~ Cher Lloyd – Sirens needs to go. It's been here longer than it should've.

~ I apologize for being delayed. My internet wasn't working on Sunday or Monday.
