Pink (3) - Week of May 25, 2013

Oddly, last weekend, with a guest host, had a ton of movement, and upon Spyder Harrison’s return to weekend duty, the activity slowed down considerably.  Reversing the trend!  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 DDDDRRRROOOPPP!!!!!......of the week: Tie between Swedish House Mafia – Don’t You Worry Child, fun. – Carry On, and Drop City Yacht Club – Crickets (-14)
Biggest Jump of the Week: Classified Ft. David Myles – Inner Ninja (+15)

Much to the dismay of reader Dan, we welcome back Awolnation – Sail after it was lost to the void for a week.  Michael Buble provides the only new music of the week in the form of his song entitled It’s a Beautiful Day.  It’s delightfully upbeat and pleasant, but nothing to write home about.  Just another song.

Blurbed Lines

- Icona Pop – I Love It at #5 is a big fat “no”.  Stop it.  Now.

- Seems like the window has shut on Ke$ha – C’mon for a run at the top.  Oh well.  Its opportunity came far too late anyway.

- Similarly, Krewella – Alive at #45 is also a big fat “no”.  Talk about a song not getting its due here. 

- #23, #24, and #25 last week became #37, #38, and #39, respectively, this week.  Weird!  I am pointing this out because I have a blog where I write about a ranking of songs every week.

- Next week’s update is going to be a bit delayed.  Sorry.  I have not abandoned you!
