Wow. I guess the countdown was so desperate to keep Bruno Mars - It Will Rain out of the top spot that it yanked a past-it's-prime song all the way up from the low-20's to block it.

#1 song, 1 year ago this week: Katy Perry - Firework (glad to see this previously discontinued tradition is back!)
Biggest DDDDDRRRRROOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!.......of the week: The Cab - Bad (-23)
Biggest Jump of the week: Adele - Someone Like You (+25) (side note: Seriously….again??? What is going on here?)
Kicking it off with our new entrants….Kelly Rowland - Lay It On Me isn't bad the first couple of times you hear it, but there's really not a lot of hidden value there. I'm already sick of it, and it's only been about 5 days since it really entered the Hits-1 regular playlist. Very similar song to Nicole Scherzinger - Right There. The other new entrant, Big Time Rush - Music Sounds Better With U is much better. The lyrics sound like they were written by a 16 year-old (which I guess makes sense), but whatever, it sounds good.
So Stereo Hearts randomly hits #1 for the 7th time over a month after it was last in the top spot. It obviously doesn't belong there anymore, but I'll take it. Here's hoping It Will Rain drops a spot or two next week so that we don't have to keep sweating this out.
And in other news….Nicki Minaj - Super Bass is up to #3 now??? What in the world is going on here? It topped out at #6 a long time ago, the week of November 12th. What is it doing up here? It was in my Top 10 of 2011, so I can't say I'm disappointed. Just a little confused.
Given the alternatives, I'll happily welcome back Breathe Carolina - Blackout into the top 10. Gavin DeGraw - Not Over You is a welcome addition as well. As of now the countdown is still waiting for a new entrant that's a sure-fire future #1 song. There really isn't anything around that looks like it'll just take the world by storm. Next week I'm near-positive we'll see Kelly Clarkson - Stronger make it's debut on the countdown, as it's been played quite a bit this week. Maybe that will fill the void, for better or for worse.
I'm starting to come around on Childish Gambino - Heartbeat. Originally I didn't like it much, but I feel like I didn't really give it that much of a chance. I'm now pulling for it to move on up the charts.
