Biggest DDDDRRRROOOOPPPPP!!!!!....of the week: Tie between Pitbull – Back In Time and The All-American Rejects – Walk Over Me (-11)

Biggest Jump of the Week: Havana Brown Ft. Pitbull – We Run the Night (+11)

Call Me Maybe, as expected, keeps its stranglehold on the #1 spot.  This week it just passed Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know on the Billboard Hot 100 for the #1 spot.  Somebody That I Used to Know held the title for the previous 8 weeks.

I could list off all the songs that held off DTHNOBbing for another week, and just how grateful I am for that, but that seems pointless because it’s Friday, and I know of at least 2 new entrants already on this weekend’s countdown based on weekday airtime.  So it’s the last week on the countdown probably for You-Know-What-Song-I’m-Getting-At (::sniff::).  But that’s okay, because I’ve been saying it for weeks, so we’ll call it a win.

Moving up on my personal charts this week is Usher – Scream.  I have always liked this one, but it’s forcing itself onto the Editor’s Picks this week, as it gets better the more I hear of it.

I was disappointed to see Maroon 5 – Payphone drop out of the Top 5 this week.  Maybe it’s not the powerhouse that I once thought?

Editor’s Picks – Top 5 Songs

1) Maroon 5 – Payphone

2) Karmin – Brokenhearted

3) Rita Ora – How We Do (Party)

4) Usher – Scream

5) M83 – Midnight City
