Biggest DDDDRRRRROOOOOPPPP!!!!....of the week:  Train – 50 Ways to Say Goodbye (-20)

Biggest Jump of the Week: Alex Clare – Too Close (+20)

In the absence of new stuff, this is going to be a little more short and sweet.

8|U|285

- 50 Ways to Say Goodbye has tanked 33 spots in 2 weeks. Ask and ye shall receive!

- Alex Clare – Too Close continues the truly bizarre recent success run of the resurrected.

- Oooh ooh ooh!!!  I decided that I made up my mind on Bruno Mars – Locked Out of Heaven!  I don’t like it!  Hooray for consistency!

- There is a very high chance that next week becomes PSY – Gangnam Style’s first week at the top spot.

- One of the more interesting lead-ins that Spyder Harrison had to offer this week: apparently Pink smoked her first cigarette at age 9 and was at a pack a day by age 13.

- Can we be real here for a second?  It’s November 3^rd.  All songs that debuted in February should be firmly out of the Top 10 by now.  You hear me, Everybody Talks?  Oh well, at least songs make their exit quicker here than they do over in Ryan-Seacrest-American-Top-40-Land.  Almost 25% of the songs on the AT-40 have already been kicked off of this countdown….some of them have been gone for months.

Editor’s Picks – Top 5 Songs

1) Ke$ha – Die Young

2) Cher Lloyd Ft. Becky G – Oath

3) Adele – Skyfall

4) Imagine Dragons – It’s Time

5) BoysLikeGirls – Be Your Everything
