Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" logs an eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tying it for the year's longest-leading No. 1. Her follow-up single, "Good Time," with Owl City, meanwhile, soars into the chart's top 15. As it maintains its Hot 100 reign, "Maybe" matches the eight-week command of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, for the longest stay atop the chart this year. Prior to the songs' back-to-back rules, fun.'s "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae, led for six weeks; Katy Perry's "Part of Me" led for two; Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" spent three weeks at No. 1; and, Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" led for two. The first new No. 1 of 2012, LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It," tallied two frames on top in January.

ITZ's notes:

+ There's not much to report here. Next week's battle for #1 is still between Carly & Katy. It'll be a couple of weeks til' a new player enter the battle for #1 as potential contenders like Florida, P!nk and Fun are not so far ahead in airplay to matter.

+ Ellie Goulding could totally net the #1 if her digital sales increased to the TOP 3. She needs to promote somewhere high profile in the US, tho with her upcoming album and single, she'll probably just focus on Europe.

Time to retire from music

[Christopher]

I feel the radio is so stale it's the same shit for weeks now fall needs to come around so we can get some new music in here

[Satch]

does anybody in here make music???

[Trigger]

ITZ's notes: + There's not much to report here. Next week's battle for #1 is still between Carly & Katy.

We already know who's winning that battle.

Hint: It's not the girl with several singles about her failed marriage to a terrible British comedian.

[Beysus]

does anybody in here make music???

Hey Satch :)
Just fyi: I meant retiring from listening to music. Don't make my own music. Wish I could though.

And yeah, I wonder if our follow pop-gaffers make their own music. I'd love to hear it.

TBH if Carly continues to drop with 2M updates and Katy continues to rise with 1.5M updates, Katy might get a #1. Im saying might because she's actually going down on digital sales.

I feel the radio is so stale it's the same shit for weeks now fall needs to come around so we can get some new music in here

August and September are perfect months for new releases to start slaying the fall.

Also, Rihanna is looking flawnorexic!!!

Truly the hottest pop gurl in the game.

[Beysus]

It ranks somewhere in the middle in the pantheon of terrible debut songs by talent show winners.

What a schizophrenic production.

[Leona Lewis]

It sounds like five songs spliced together. Needs some extra mixing ASAP.

I was hoping for some crazy-ass reggae island groove from Melanie. Oh well, Simon Cowell's limited range of vision strikes again.

[Mumei]

Gosh, I haven't heard jack squat about Melanie since her win. Oh, except those terrible Pepsi commercials.

That child is no Aretha.

[DMeisterJ]

At least she's an X-Factor winner who released something this year...

[Christopher]

So Kelly and Carrie are the only artist who made something from winning? I dont get the point anymore than tbh

[Trigger]

That child is no Aretha.

I can't believe Elton John would even participate in such a thing.

[Crumpet Trumpet]

So Kelly and Carrie are the only artist who made something from winning? I dont get the point anymore than tbh

Leona Lewis, One Direction, Cher Lloyd, Carly Rae Jepsen, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, that other dude, etc.

Every other contestant that made something of themselves never actually won.

oic

[Artemisia]

Yeah, pretty much.
