Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: June 23 2012)



Pop culture craze Call Me Maybe finally tops the Billboard Hot 100 this week unseating 8-week #1 Somebody That I Used to Know. Carly Rae Jepsen is now the third consecutive act to send their first chart entry to the top spot of the Hot 100. The first two were fun. with We Are Young followed by Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know. Incidentally, the featured artists of the said tracks Janelle Monae and Kimbra are also "first timers" on the Hot 100. This really has been a good year for new artists as those three songs topped the charts of UK, Canada and Australia as well. Call Me Maybe is also the first #1 from a Canadian artist since Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend topped the chart in 2007.

Elsewhere on the chart, Katy Perry nabs another top 10 hit as her new single Wide Awake leaps #19 to #9 on its 3rd week on the chart. Of the 12 only one official Katy Perry singles, the only song that missed the top 10 was Thinking of You which peaked at #29 in 2009.

This week's top debut is from Justin Bieber as All Around the World, an album cut from his upcoming set, bows at #22. Meanwhile, LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem extends its chart run to 64 weeks which is the 4th longest staying on the chart of all time tied with Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats. Ahead of LMFAO's track are Adele's Rolling in the Deep & Jewel's You Were Meant for Me/Foolish Games (65 weeks), Lee Ann Rhimes' How Do I Live (69 weeks) and Jason Mraz's I'm Yours (76 weeks). I think LMFAO could surpass Adele and Jewel but beating Rhimes will be a tall order while beating Mraz is a long shot given that the Party Rock Anthem is already down to #45 on its way to recurrent status.
