Adele - Week of November 5, 2011

I had to struggle to write this due to the extreme depression I am feeling from the most collectively disappointing #1 and #2 songs in history. Before we get on to this week's Fresh 45, here's a list of all the songs we're saying good-bye to this week:
  • Beyonce - Countdown
The Countdown: (Source: Wikipedia)
Biggest DDDDRRRROOPPPPP!!!!!!!!!............of the week: Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All (-13)
Biggest jump of the week: Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks (+30)

The only new entrant is Coldplay - Paradise. I'm not going to review it because you've likely been under a rock for awhile if you haven't heard it. Yes, even those seeking refuge in something as un-Coldplay as Monday Night Football were treated to 5-second clips of this song.

Big, random, and welcome jump back into the top 5 for Foster the People. Is there still hope for a #1 bid? It seems like we've gone a bit back in time with Good Life and Moves Like Jagger jumping back into the top 10, while Stereo Hearts gets the Moves Like Jagger treatment and falls out of the top 10 just 2 weeks removed from a #1 bid.

Honestly, I typically like to write more, but this list just makes me sad. There hasn't been an outstanding new countdown entrant in quite some time. I'm hoping One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful makes the jump from Hit-Bound soon, but that song has been hanging around on Hit-Bound for long enough that it seems like it's destined to not make it. There really hasn't been a week with huge turnover in awhile, and I can see plenty of songs on the countdown that need to go. Here's hoping for some new blood, and soon.

Editor's Picks - Top 5
Demi Lovato - Skyscraper
Katy Perry - Last Friday Night
The Script - Nothing
Jessie J - Domino
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
