#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: P!nk – What About Us (1)

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Charlie Puth – The Way I Am (–18)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Panic! At The Disco – Hey Look Ma, I Made It (+17)

Blurbin
~ Panic! At The Disco – Hey Look Ma, I Made It made the jump we've been expecting up into the Top 10 because Hits 1 stans this man. But it is definitely a great song, so I have no complaints. I really like it.

~ Calvin Harris/Sam Smith – Promises seems to be going strong right now. The song is slowly growing on me and I'm starting to like it a little bit more. It could potentially enter green territory depending on how much longer it stays.

~ It's nice to see Kamikaze back in the Top 20. I'm also happy about the jumps into the Top 20 from Body Talks and Eastside, both of which I've been really enjoying lately.

~ LSD – Thunderclouds is still hanging around for some reason. Can we please get rid of this song and not let LSD have another song on here? I can't honestly be the only one who dislikes this project.

~ Charlie Puth – The Way I Am took a hard fall this week out of the Top 30, having a run similar to Done For Me. I'm glad this wasn't that big of a hit since it's the weakest single from Voicenotes as of right now. I still believe Done For Me deserved more than it got, but I'm glad The Way I Am didn't hit #1 and make Done For Me the only single to miss the #1 spot.

~ So yeah. I don't really have anything else to say here since nothing too interesting happened and the post is already kinda late. I will say that year-end posts will start coming out soon once we hit December. I'm currently in the process of selecting songs for my best and worst lists. Those will be out sometime next month, hopefully after I finish reveals for the 2013 Billboard Year-End Rankdown. But we'll see.
