Katy Perry's Wide Awake holds onto #1 for a 5th Week, still slaying strong. Meanwhile, Katy's previous single, Part Of Me, retires after spending 24 weeks on the countdown, 7 at #1. But this song won't be missed that much. Hummingbird Heartbeat zooms 29 - 19 and Not Like the Movies flies 31 - 23. There will be plenty of quality Katy on this countdown for awhile, and I don't think we've seen the best yet.
The birthday girl Selena Gomez continues to climb as Middle Of Nowhere moves up to #18.
B.o.B., No Doubt, and Hunter Hayes make their debuts this week with Both Of Us, Settle Down, and Wanted.
Austin Mahone, a boy who I clearly fell head over heels for (I can wait 2 years Austin
) continues to shoot up as I'm addicted to his song Say Somethin. It flies 16 - 6. Gosh Austin - turn 18 already.
I may be 18, but I still act like a teenybopper from time to time, and Cher Lloyd and Carly Rae Jepsen prove that point as Want U Back moves up to #2, and Call Me Maybe - slowly falling but still slaying - is down to #4.
Is Austin Mahone, Cher Lloyd, and Carly Rae Jepsen are any indication that I'm still only 18 well, oh well. 18 and a half to be exact.
But, when you have guys like Austin, 1D, The Wanted, and Hunter Hayes well, I'm still boy crazy!
What will happen next week? Just find out.
