Wow!! Quite a lot has happened this week! First off, P!nk is at number one!!! Even though the only "reason" why she's at number one is because her song features Nate Ruess, it's still a celebratory moment all the same! Macklemore & Ryan Lewis now join an even more elite club of artists who have had two singles in the top five simultaneously. But most importantly, Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack" has finally cracked the top ten!!! Also, Justin Timberlake now has two singles in the top ten simultaneously, and this is interesting because I can't recall a time in Hot 100 history when two musical acts have had two singles in the top ten at the same time. I'll look into that, while you look at what's been happening outside of the top ten: Psy's recent viral hit "Gentlemen" debuts at number 12 (it recently broke YouTube records when it received 70 million views in three days), Miranda Lambert shoots 35-20 with "Mama's Broken Heart", Tim McGraw's duet with Taylor Swift "Highway Don't Care" blasts 42-25 with Digital Gainer honors, Selena Gomez debuts at number 45 with "Come and Get it", Avril Lavigne's "Here's to Never Growing Up" debuts at number 52, and Nicki Minaj's duet with Lil Wayne "High School" zooms 83-68.

The Billboard 200 is less exciting this week. We have six new top ten arrivals, since album sales are so low, it doesn't take much to get into the top ten in a debut frame. But, of all debuts, Paramore comes out on top and scores their first number one album!! And it really deserved it, "Paramore" is an awesome album! All across the board, country stars have gained alot this past week. Eric Church and Brad Paisley score top ten debuts, and Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and Blake Shelton all shoot up the charts as well. This week was interesting because there weren't any significant drops or gains this week, everything stayed pretty much the same. Actually, that might be my next blog topic, why are album sales down the toilet? I wonder...well, until then, that's really all I have left to say about this week's chart, hopefully next week will bring more excitement.
