ANOTHER UPDATE: This song is smashing worldwide. YAS!
EDIT: Big things have gone down since this thread was started!!! After smashing in Canada, and getting the attention of Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen has been signed to Scooter Braun's US label, and Call Me Maybe has been released there! It's climbing the American iTunes charts, and just taking off on radio! Canada is proud of you Carly! This song deserves to smash everywhere...it's the best thing out there right now! Carly's flown to LA where she has recorded new tracks for her album and a rumoured duet with Biebs himself...
ORIGINAL POST: Get into this Canadian SMASH. Already lauded by Bieber and Selena, there is no denying how infectious this track is. "Call Me Maybe" is Carly Rae Jepsen's first single from her upcoming second album "Curiosity". Much more of a pop direction from her previous album, which headed in a more folk direction. This is def a good sound for her, and is already all over Canadian radio. I think it's much catchier than a lot of songs out there now, and deserves some international attention. Get off your musical snobbery high horses and embrace this song for what it is - bubbly, fun pop.

I love this song! I love Carly Rae! I'm tweeting a lot of the big US radio stations asking for this song! I made a thread about it last month and no one replied. I'm so thankful to Selena and Bieber for their exposure for her! #8 on Canadian iTunes!

yessss. glad to see another canadian supporting this tune!
can you help a fellow canuck out and translate what those itunes updates mean?
The #1 song is always 1.000. So if the #1 song sold 1000 copies (hypothetically) then Carly Rae would be selling 626 copies. As a song becomes more/less popular, it's number will rise, and hers is rising very quickly!

Thanks for the explanation! Fantastic news. I'm sure the twitter attention from Bieber helped...that is certainly great exposure!
