Biggest
DDDDDRRRROOOPPPP!!!!!...of the week: Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble
(-39)
Biggest
Jump of the Week: Demi Lovato – Heart Attack (+19)
One
new song this week; it’s from Taylor Swift, and it’s called 22.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feelin’ 22” is frequently repeated in this
song. That feeling must be simply overwhelming for a 22-year old*.
Nonetheless, 22 is an enjoyable, upbeat song that has every reason to
rank among the countdown’s better songs. It’s a bit of a breath of fresh
air now in these down-months for the countdown.
Revenge
of the Blurbs
-
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been listening to a good amount of Hits-1 this
week and am very excited about the prospects for this upcoming weekend’s
countdown. There’s at least a couple winners that are locks to debut this
weekend, with the prospect of more. Things might be turning around sooner
rather than later.
-
Practically Weekly Ke$ha - C’mon Update: Woohoo! Top-10
now! I’ve felt like this one has had #1 potential since its debuted, but
the countdown performance has been lacking. Time will tell, I suppose.
-
The large and sudden drop for Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble gives
hope to the notion that we might not have to hear far, far more of that song
than we need to.
-
New to the list of “auto-change-stations” songs is Calvin Harris Ft.
Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing. I wasn’t lying when it debuted and I
said that it doesn’t suck, because it most certainly doesn’t. However,
there’s next to no hook to keep me interested. Now that it’s in the top
10, I worry that it’ll be around for awhile.
-
If you haven’t heard it before, I invite you all to listen to Milan &
Phoenix – Istanbul (not Constantinople) and assess the plausibility that
something that sounds like that is the 19th most popular song in the
country.
-
Emeli Sande – Next to Me debuted on October 20th and just hit
its high-water mark on the countdown of #24. Talk about a true grinder.
*She’s
23 now, but was 22 when she wrote the song.
