YES!! "Thrift Shop" took the top spot and finally kicked Bruno Mars off! Thank you Lord!! Anyway, "Ho Hey" still remains in the top three, impressive. Also impressive is Justin Timberlake's "Suit and Tie" jumping eighty places to number 4. It was fueled by airplay, as it was played 6000 times in one week. However, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You were Trouble" had the most plays this week, as it tops the pop songs chart, but for some reason is still declining on the Hot 100. I'm glad Justin Bieber is finally on his way out, and as expected, "Home" is looking at its last week within the top ten. Outside of the top tier: P!nk falls 12-13 with "Try" (please get into the top ten!!), "Some Nights" falls 14-18 in its 48th chart week (it will definitely log a year on the chart), "Sweet Nothing" rises 20-17, "Better Dig Two" is becoming The Band Perry's next big hit as it shoots 33-28, becoming only their second top thirty song, Ke$ha rises 48-30 with "C'Mon", "Call Me Maybe" is still here falling only from 40-41 in its 48th chart week, Gotye falls 42-45 with "Somebody That I Used to Know" in its 55th chart week, and Ellie Goulding once again proves me wrong as "Lights" tumbles 49-50 in its 57th chart week (however, I am now positive it won't rebound again, and this will be its last week). Rihanna jumps 76-58 with "Pour it Up", which is techinically "Unapologetic"'s third single, but is doing much better than "Stay", the second single. And that's it for the Hot 100, most of the excitement happened within the top ten this week. But I am REALLY excited for "Thrift Shop"!!

A$AP is a rapper so I obviously haven't listened to his album, and I never will so, it is what it is. Kidz Bop is going to have to stop eventually, since their albums don't sell that well. Hooray for Pitch Perfect!! Awesome movie, awesome soundtrack! I'm indifferent about Red at this point. Take Me Home just needs to get out of there, NOW. The rest of the top ten I don't really care about so, it's just another typical week. But there are exciting things happening outside of the top tier. Adele's "21" rises 16-12 in its 100th chart week, I wonder if it could re-enter the top ten? Macklemore's "The Heist" shoots 24-15, and last week's number one album, "Burning Lights" by Chris Tomlin, collapses 1-22 (and yes, that is a HUGE drop from the top spot). This week's greatest gainer is "2nd Law" by Muse, which shoots 74-48. This week's pacesetter is "Barton Hollow" by the Civil Wars, vaulting 175-73. And Pink Floyd still makes history as "Dark Side of the Moon" rises 188-187 in its 821st chart week (yes, you read that right). That's pretty much it for this week. Albums in January either rise a few places or plummet alot. Taking the biggest fall is Blink 182's EP "Dogs Eating Dogs", which plunges 64-182 this week. Next week, country artists Gary Allan is supposed to debut at number one.
