Biggest DDDDRRRRRROOOOOOPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!........of the week: The Fray - Heartbeat (-21)
Biggest Jump of the Week: f.u.n. Ft. Janelle Monae - We Are Young (+20)
Totally undeservedly, we see Body and Soul tie the record for most hysterically short tenure on the countdown, at one week. That was worth the eight or so weeks that it occupied a coveted spot on Hit-Bound, right? We'll see if it never comes back, a la Kid Cudi - Erase Me, or has an extended-stay resurrection similar to Foster the People - Don't Stop.
Checking out the new entrants, starting with the most ubiquitous. Katy Perry's fairly uncomfortable-to-watch revenge on Russell Brand at the Grammys in the form of Part of Me had about as much subtlety to it as the Emergency Alert System siren. Since it's a Katy Perry song, I'm obligated to inform you that the song definitely has #1 potential, whether it's #1 quality or not. Meh. At least it's better than The One That Got Away. Lucas Prata - First Night of My Life is an energetic, decent song that fits in nicely with the solid debuts we've had lately, not really in a standout fashion in any way. Finally, Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know jumped on, and it's a real winner in my book. Kind of an unconventional, weirdly catchy tune, a la Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks. The trippy music video has become quite popular on YouTube.
So Flo Rida was able to hold off Adele - Set Fire to the Rain for another week. Nothing outstandingly interesting really went on besides our entrants and exits. The most notable development was Jessie J - Domino leaping into the top 5 for the first time, and deservedly so. With the exception of the dearly departed Body and Soul most of last week's new entrants got the traditional second-week boost and had solid jumps. Here's hoping their predecessors are ushered out quickly and the solid talents lurking on Hit-Bound join them soon.
I've been a little too upbeat lately, so here are names of songs that suck, in no particular order:
1) Rihanna Ft. Calvin Harris - We Found Love
2) LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It
3) Bruno Mars - It Will Rain
4) Mac Miller - Knock Knock
5) LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking
Ahhhhhhhhhh that felt good.
