'Call Me Maybe' makes it to No. 1 on Hot 100Now that Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has been permanently etched in our brains, the single's now also taken over the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Jepsen's catchy single (and possible song of the summer) dethroned Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," making Jepsen the first lead songstress to take her first Hot 100 song entry all the way to No. 1 since Ke$ha did the same with "Tik Tok" at the start of 2010.
It's a little surprising that it took "Call Me Maybe" some time to make its ascent on the Hot 100, seeing that it's been in rotation for months, and that's just Stateside. Our Canadian pals made "Call Me Maybe" a No. 1 single in February. Gotye is still riding high at No. 2 with "Somebody that I Used to Know," with Maroon 5's "Payphone" at No. 3 and fun.'s "We Are Young" at No. 4. Adele, meanwhile, has notched her 24th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with "21."

lmao @rodney in Dallas!! Just read comment. I agree 100% with ya!! lmao
I have been hearing this call me maybe song for a week now. I can't stand it. It doesn't take a brain to think of the lyrics in this pop tune. She keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. It really does bug me so when it comes on I change the station. Thanks to Justin Bieber it's number 1 yay! lol If he didn't endorse it, I really don't think it would be a hit. It is nervewracking. Then she is 26 years old singing a teenybopper song. I thought she was about 18 singing this...no 26? What's with that? No wonder she was eliminated in the Canadian Idol. Third runner up. Take her fricking voice off the radio please!!! At least Niki Minaj puts on a show!
wahhhh. music today just doesnt MEAN anything. waaaaah. go put some black eyeshadow, lipstick and nailpolish on and breack down harder and cry about it, foghart...
music doesnt have to have meaning. it's just sounds that when put together inspire you to tap your foot or scream at the top of your lungs while driving 90 mph down the highway with the top down. 'meaningful' lyrics arent required for either of these two activities.

The good thing about this young lady is she wrote the song. She will be getting paid off of that song for a long time, even when other people record it. Good for her. I am pretty sure the record companies don't see to it that these young singers get money for a life time. Hope she writes more hits for herself or others.
If you all want good music - SUMMER Music . . . You know, the stuff you're supposed to dance to - check out the European Charts. From France to Germany to Italy to Club hits, etc., etc....Check them ALL out. Per chart, go through all the songs that seem, well, foreign to you and listen to them on YouTube.
Europe is way ahead of this country when it comes to "Good" music. Everything on Billboard is mere checkup for me. I check what's new. Check the songs out on YouTube. Most suck. Then I go check out the European charts. I have found myself in a trance to all the many good songs produced over many different genres of many different countries. Amazing what those Europeans are producing, I tell ya! Highly recommend you check it out. I've already found my song for Summer, and let me tell you all . . . . . . . It ain't this sh**!
I'm in Europe right now, and the music blows.
To Ibod: you are a dumb-ass. Both European and American popular music sucks. There is good music out there, of course, but it's not like the top 40 music European music is any better than American music. Just as bad.
You're so Hip, Trendy, and Anti-Mainstream...you must be cool....got a blog or twitter I can follow?
Only reason liberal media is pushing this song so hard to be the 'song of the summer' is because the video is about a gay man.
what the heck this video is good and the song is good has nothing to do with the gay man in it. Grow up. Who cares whos gay and who is not.
Wonder if POTUS sang it better???
That song's already been written dozens of times just the last 10 years.
hello
Horrible song. Didn't even take the time to read the article.....just read the headline.
I hate this song. I change the station every time I hear it on the radio. That is not music....it's a teenage girl singin in her bedroom.
i had never even heard of this song until i read this... so i checked it out... i wish i hadn't. im glad i dont listen to the radio.
I have heard *about* the song quite a bit. But, so far, I have been able to avoid hearing the song.
I'm sure that is a good thing. I'm sure that is a very very good thing.
Poor girl suffers from Noassatall.
Her backside goes straight from her legs to her lats
that's the way it should be
This has one hit wonder written all over it.
I am not denying that music from the past was great and wonderful...but it's in the past and it is time to move forwards. The Beatles were great, Madonna was great, Elvis Presley was great...but can we please allow the newer generations to have something to identify with? No one can deny the greatness of the old performers but there might be some good ones now too. We cannot be so close minded. Music is constantly evolving. We may not agree with the evolution, but it is evolving nonetheless. Imagine what the world would be like today if we had not moved beyond Mozart? Allow the kids from today to have something that they can call their own. Our parents didn't agree with The Beatles either. And Elvis Presley was "too scandalous". We don't know how far these kids will go with their music. Let's give them a chance.
My daughter plays this song all the frickin time!!! I'm so sick of it...Someone needs to call her...
I'm sure Carly's growing bank account, fame, world traveling, accolades, and making history with a number 1 song – on top of doing what she loves – is making her second her career choice. My point? She is a singer, clearly an array of people like the song, and it is a music like it or not. Music is subjective. Why all the hate? I know, I know blah blah blah Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Billy Joel, U2, Nirvana now THOSE are ... oh please.
I'd like to tap that, maybeeee
I know she's Canadian and all, but the words bavy and mayve aren't part of the English language.
I know you're american and all but saying a word is not in the English language by using "aren't" another word that is not in the English language would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
"I know she's Canadian and all, but the words bavy and mayve aren't part of the English language."
the words "are" and "not" are in the english language, you idiot, and contractions are perfectly acceptable (you even used one). good try, though
Agreed. She was not discovered by Justin Beiber. She was one of the three finalists on Canadian Idol in 2007, and had another song in Canada called "Bucket" from her first album in 2008 which received pretty good airplay north of the border. Justin just had the foresight to get her signed to the record label owned by his manager.
That's the song the wife's alarm clock plays every morning. Even though I'm locked in another room (by me for protection), I can hear that irritating song! What a way to start your day, the mrs & that song. Yikes!
Then why in the hell are you still married to her?
THEY ALL SUCK! Let's go back to the 80s/90s were the real music deserves to be on billboards hot top 100!
8Os and 9Os?That was music?I don't think so,but call me maybe is lame.
Word! Rock on man \m/
The "next big thing" until next week. Got played because of Bieber. Only heard the song once. That was enough.
Just checked it out on youtube. I couldn't even listen to the whole song. Very forgettable.
Yes its a cute song the first couple of times you hear it.Then it gets old quick.
Justin beiber tweeted about her and thats why the song blew up
Heard her interview on NPR. She doesn't watch Television and plays chess with her boyfriend. Smart girl. Song is cheerful and uplifting.

OK song but played too much, I am sick of it. I do like Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," but they don't play that much where I live.
This song causes me to pooh uncontrollably.
Ugh that song annoys me. Gotye is mucch bette
This is what you call music? How did this song hit #1? Are we that blind, chances are she has some body writing her lyrics. She will "trade her soul for a wish" is the message you want you kids to hear.. Today's youth is truly being brainwashed by this song. It's a shame..she is just the industry's little slave, there'll use her for all she is worth, and dispose of her until she can't make them any money.
Really? Having that much trouble reading? Her name is Carly Rae Jepsen. She was discovered on youtube by Justin Bieber. This is her hit song. She is a female Justin. Next big thing for the tweens and teens.
Seriously? She was discovered by Justin Bieber?? Lol!
She is from Canadian Idol not Justin Bieber
Who is this? I have never heard of this person or this song.
who are this people and how do they contracts?
you hate the song however took the time to read the article????? alrighty then
Who is this?
I hate that song. Nonsensical vacuous pop music.
