This first part of this week’s installment is almost too painful for me to type, but I suppose I’m grateful it didn’t happen weeks ago, as it easily could have.  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.

Biggest DDDDDRRRRRROOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!.....of the week: Adele – Someone Like You (-23)
Biggest Jump of the week: Karmin – Brokenhearted (+18)

One new song to speak of.  Going straight from high school to the NBA this week was September – Party In My Head.  I am definitely liking this one so far.  Good beat, good energy.  I like the odds of it remaining an above-average mainstay on the countdown for months to come.

Unfortunate return of Flo Rida – Good Feeling and Rihanna Ft. Calvin Harris – We Found Love to the Top 5 this week.  We’ll try to get this corrected by next week.  Sorry everyone.

After another week of spins, I think I jumped to conclusions a little too quickly on B.O.B. – So Good.  It’s definitely better than I initially gave it credit for.  Similarly, I was a little too quick to judge K’Naan Ft. Nelly Furtado – Is Anybody Out There.  Initially I liked it, but soon after discovered that it wears on your ears pretty quickly.

All in all, not a ton going on this week.  We’re probably only a few weeks away from being done with the whole LMFAO-having-a-song-on-the-countdown thing.  Until then, I’ll just sit and hope….

Editor’s Picks: Top 5 Songs
1) M83 – Midnight City
2) Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know
3) Pitbull Ft. Chris Brown – International Love
4) September – Party In My Head
5) Train – Drive By
