Gym Class Heroes (5) - Week of December 9, 2011


Unfortunately, it appears as though my sources have dried up.  The section on the Wikipedia page showing the countdown list has disappeared.  It was originally partially updated earlier this week, but there was definitely something wrong (somehow, I don't think Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All managed both the biggest jump and the biggest DDDDDDDRRRRRROOOOOOPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!.......of the week.)  However, I remember enough about it to give some quick hits here.  Before we don't get on to this week's Fresh 45, here's a list of all the songs we're saying good-bye to this week:

  • Pixie Lott - All About Tonight
  • JTX - Love In America (DTHNOBx2)
  • Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
  • Bad Meets Evil Ft. Bruno Mars - Lighters

It was a quality-in, quality-out week for the countdown.  Collectively, a good group of songs got kicked off, but the replacements were nothing to sneeze at.  Resurrected was Foster the People - Don't Stop (Color on the Walls), thus ensuring it wouldn't hold the record for most hysterically short countdown tenure in history.  Which is good, because it definitely doesn't deserve that fate.  Long-time Hit-Bound veteran Sean Kingston - Party All Night jumped into the Top 45, and it's a very welcome addition.  Lenny Kravitz - Stand is something of a mediocrity.  But hey, he's famous, right?  And finally, Cobra Starship jumps in with Fool Like Me, which is the best song that they've put out there.  I wish I could say "that's saying something, because they've had 2 #1s out of their 3 historical coundown songs", but unfortunately, You Make Me Feel and (to a lesser extent) Good Girls Go Bad kind of take the power out of that statement.

We might go on hiatus or become a bit more sporadic in the coming weeks until a more reliable source of information is found.  Until then, keep wutchuwanting everyone!
