I've been a bit miffed with Kelly lately 'cause of the whole Ron Paul thing, but I do love that song, and I'm sure I'll forgive her soon enough.

the other three I quoted are all FANTASTIC too, especially "We Found Love". <3

(and I don't think my heart could handle you suddenly stopping your chart again, so just keep that in mind...)

Great to see Foster The People at #1. Even though I was into it more last month, I still haven't got bored of it!

Great for Kelly too... another past #1 on my chart. Lana Del Rey & Coldplay great.

Awesome to see more love for Arcade Fire - I bought the album months ago but didn't even realise how brilliant that track was until a few weeks ago!

nice to see Kelly, The Wanted, and Rihanna all hanging in there! I'm not a big fan of the new Mike Posner tune, and could he really not bother to give us a SINGLE shirtless scene in the video? the song's called "Looks Like Sex" for f**k's sake... :roll:
