In
a move designed to make the show as unentertaining as possible, Britney
Spears guest-hosted the Thanksgiving Weekend Countdown, and I bet it will
be a total shock to you all to learn that she was monotone, robotic, and
generally completely and totally awful at it. As one might expect from a
short week (the countdown began airing Thursday) and a guest host, no songs
leavin’ the countdown this week.

A
Blurb in the Hand Is Worth Two in the Bush
-
Pitbull Ft. Ke$ha – Timber snuck into the Top 10 in just its third week
on the countdown
-
I never in a million years would have expected Olly Murs – Dance With Me
Tonight, the song that randomly had a 1-week stint on the countdown back in
April, 2012, would be #3 on the countdown in December, 2013. Just
curious, has anyone actually heard this song in a forum other than
Hits-1? How this is ranked 3rd and like, Miley Cyrus –
Wrecking Ball is nowhere to be seen makes me wonder who really pulls the
chains in determining which songs get to break into the Hits-1 rotation.
Because it’s pretty clear that it’s not rooted completely in “which songs are
currently biggest in North America.”
-
I expect a good amount of new entrants next week, though for purposes of
year-end rankings, they might need to be deferred until 2014, depending on how
long they’ve been around.
-
I’d like to see Daughtry – Waiting for Superman to hit the
countdown….that guy can flat out sing.
-
Hits-1 is conducting a variety of “Best of” polls on their website for the
year….if you feel so compelled, I’d hop on over to their website (http://www.siriusxm.com/hits1) and participate

Has any other song ever fell out of #1 like Alone Together did?
ReplyDeleteIt's the biggest drop for a #1 that I can remember, but I've only tracked prior week ranks for about two years. It's the furthest a #1 has fallen in those two years, though.
DeleteWhat are your favorite songs of 2010, 2009, and 2008.
ReplyDeleteI re-entered the pop music universe (read: acquired Sirius radio) somewhere around the middle of 2009, so I don't know how easy it is for me to really give a well-defined answer on that. Some of my favorites from '09/'10 were Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A., Jay Sean - Down, Lady Gaga - Telephone, Ke$ha - Tik Tok, Eminem Ft. Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie, Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart, Owl City - Fireflies, and Daughtry - Life After You. I don't think I've really thought about it too much in depth, though. My favorite song that's aired on Hits-1 from 2009 -> present day is Daughtry - September, but it stalled on HitBound and never made it to the countdown.
DeleteCool. My favorites of each year from 2010 are:
Delete'10: Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart
'11: The Script - Nothing
"12: Ed Sheeran - The A Team
"13: So many good ones! My two favorites are Panic! At the Disco - Miss Jackson and Thirty Seconds To Mars - Conquistador.
I love The Script - Nothing -- that's another great one
DeleteMy Favorites are:
Delete2010: Eminem/Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie
2011: JTX – Love In America
2012: Kelly Clarkson – Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)
2013: Linkin Park/Steve Aoki – A Light That Never Comes
I think I know what this weekend's debuts and exits will be.
ReplyDeleteCare to share?
DeleteSure. I believe the exits are:
Delete• The 1975 – Chocolate

DeleteIf you go to the Hits 1 homepage (www.siriusxm.com/hits1), and go to the section where it says Vote For The Wutchuwant Countdown. It shows the songs on the Weekend Countdown. The way it is now is how it was on Thursday. :)
DeleteWhen will HAIM - The Wire hit the countdown! I Really like that one!
