If it makes you feel better she had no chance in hell of being number 1 this week  but yes she missed out on that #1 by only 600 copies last week

It's strange to see Fun decreasing, and when OMN and WANEGBT started falling, it increased back, and gonna snatch #1 on pop

How Harvey Mudd Students Brought Taylor Swift to Their Campus
There’s been a lot of talk around how a school under 800 students could have possibly accumulated enough votes in the Taylor Swift competition. Were the votes inflated? Was the competition fixed? Did Chegg just choose the winner? These are few of the baseless theories thrown out there. Harvey Mudd won fair and square – and it’s all thanks to these guys.
Travis Beckman a 19 year-old sophomore studying engineering has been a Taylor Swift fan for years. Meeting Taylor in Los Angeles for the first time pushed him to become a self-described “super fan.”
“Even in the 3 seconds I got to talk her and take a picture, she was extremely genuine and the nicest person. Then she rocked the concert.”
It was Taylor’s tweet that let Travis know about the #tswiftoncampus competition with a grand prize of a VH1 Storytellers concert featuring Taylor Swift. He was stoked by news. The fact that the votes were normalized to the school’s population meant that Harvey Mudd had a very real chance at winning the performance and $10,000 music grant.
Motivated to get Taylor on Mudd’s campus, Travis put together a game plan. The first order of business: rally the troops. Using a Facebook event he began inviting fellow classmates and friends encouraging them to share the event and vote for Mudd every day. On the other side of campus another student had a similar idea with a more impactful reach.
Yeahmoon Hong also leveraged Facebook to encourage his network to vote for Mudd. After catching wind of each other’s campaign Hong & Beckman combined their efforts, optimizing for maximum coverage.
What’s unique about Harvey Mudd is its extended network. Eight independent colleges and universities create the group of schools known as the Claremont Colleges. These schools are all in close proximity of each other and often act as one unified student body.
“Even if students weren’t fans of Taylor they were like ‘Hey, Mudd needs help, let’s do it,’” Travis recalled. ”It’s that type of unity that helped us win.”
It didn’t take much for Travis and Yeahmoon to have students at all of the schools voting for Mudd. If their efforts were successful, the biggest artist of their generation would perform an intimate concert right on their campus.
With time on their side and a student body determined to win they voted by the thousands and secured their place as the school that brought #tswiftoncampus.
“I don’t think it’s really set in for a lot of students that it happened because it came and went so fast.”

A funny critic of Red
Quote:
**** A Critic: What Does A Dog Think of New Releases From Meek Mill, Taylor Swift, Aerosmith, and More?
That's Francie, above. The greatest pug in the history of pugs. She's 9. And she loves music. Lives for it. She especially likes electronic music, with all the bleeps and bloops, the thwooooooshhhhes and zhhhrrmmmm and so forth. Anything Warp Records, she's all over that **** like it's a bowl full of Beggin' Strips. But she's into a pretty wide variety of stuff. Her whole life, she's loyally sat beside me as I've worked at my computer, listening along with me to a ton of music of all types. Which makes her pretty qualified to offer her take on a batch of new tunes. And quite honestly, who gives a **** about po-faced, self-absorbed music critics and their boring, pointless 2,000-word reviews? I played Francie a few songs, and these were her real, honest-to-God reactions.
Taylor Swift, "Red"
No reaction to banjo-y opening. Chews at front left paw. Looks up briefly at :39 when big guitar chord introduces chorus. Goes back to chewing paw. Looks up again when electronic-tinged "Reh-eh-eh-redddd" vocals come in at :56. Looks over at me. Shakes head vigorously, as if attempting to dislodge something from her ears. Looks at speakers again. Looks around room. Runs over to plush dog ball, stares at it for a moment, grabs it between her teeth and runs over to speakers. Drops ball next to speakers a few seconds into guitar solo at 2:28. Looks around. Continues to shake head sporadically until end of song.

I'll try my best it could take awhile though. I should have the numbers ready in a week or 2 but I've got alot of homework to do today so I can't really work on it today.
