Biggest DDDDRRRROOOPPPP!!!!...of the week: Robin Thicke Ft. Pharrell and T.I. – Blurred Lines (-18)
Biggest Jump of the Week: Robin Thicke – Give It 2 U (+25)

A lot of people think all of Chad Kroeger’s (of Nickelback) songs sound the same.  I however, think it’s his wife, Avril Lavigne, that at least of late, produces songs that sound the same.  At the very least, it seems like the quality range is pretty thin.  My reaction to pretty much all of Lavigne’s songs is, “Heh, that’s catchy.  I don’t love it, but I want to listen to it more.”  This is pretty much how I feel about Rock and Roll.  I need to remember to bookmark this so I can copy/paste this description the next time she comes out with something “new”.

- I was wondering when Lorde – Royals would finally make its way into the Top 10.

- Demi Lovato – Made In the USA becomes the latest victim of a swift countdown exit, lasting only 4 weeks. 

- So Robin Thicke – Give It 2 U is gonna be a thing now, huh.  Winter is coming……

- Train Ft. Ashley Monroe – Bruises has somewhat quietly descended all the way to the bottom of the countdown after surging all the way up until #12 a couple weeks ago.  I unfortunately doubt it has another surge in it.  This certainly feels like the end of the line.

- Other than the aforementioned Bruises and Rock and Roll, it’d be mighty nice if they somehow just axed everything else #34 and below before next weekend.  I am a greedy person.

Editor’s Picks – Top 5 Songs
1) Train Ft. Ashley Monroe – Bruises
2) Imagine Dragons – Demons
3) MKTO – Classic
4) Hunter Hayes – I Want Crazy
5) Avril Lavigne – Rock and Roll
