As anticipated by everyone... a very boring week, with very little movement.
Only one debut, which is pretty much dead on the up-to-date charts.
The biggest mover is a random rebound from a recurrent song, lol.

Facts

The biggest mover of the week belongs to Pitbull's "International Love", which is actually a 21-week-old recurrent song. Wonder when was the last time something like this happened.
The biggest dropper of the week is down only 4 spots, which is "Dance Again", falling 17-21.
The only dropout of the week is B.O.B's "So Good" (from #31, 9 weeks in)
David Guetta's "Without You" spends 6 weeks in a row at #34!
Calvin Harris hits the jackpot again at #13, for the second time in three weeks. (13-13-13) -> Bad omen?

Watching paint dry is more exciting than this. I knew they got a little too carried away last week.

But for the fourth week in a row, not much of a big dropper with two songs tied for 4 notch drops.

I hadn't heard "Gimme More" on the radio in a year and a half.

I hadn't heard the Ne-Yo song before at all; was nice to hear something different before.

They played clips of "Dominique" and "Listen To Your Heart" in the introduction to "Somebody That I Used To Know". "Listen To Your Heart" was the dance version, surprisingly.

Slow charts like today's don't really bother me, but I absolutely hate the recent pattern of alternating between fast-moving and slow-moving charts. The 40 - 40 - 15 - 15 chart run of "Scream", as deshanw mentioned, is ridiculous. I wish they could just decide on one "speed" and stick to it.

OTOH, the only song that fell off the chart this week ("So Good") was played as an extra that everyone heard. Not the first time this has happened.

This was done because Gotye is Belgian-born, and the Singing Nun and DHT are the only other such acts to have hit #1 in the US.

I still don't understand why the US media keeps labeling Gotye as "Belgian-born". So what?? He moved to Australia when he was a baby (2 years old!!!) and has pretty much been raised and educated in Australia. Yet every time I read an article or hear something about him in the US media, he is always tagged with the "Belgian-Australian" bullcrap.

Since when were The Bee Gees or Olivia Newton John labeled as "British-Australian"? They began their professional careers in Australia and identified themselves as Australian. Hell, Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii but you don't hear the media referring to her as "US-Australian". Even Gotye himself identifies strictly as Australian.

I'm not generally a fan of the movie promos they include in AT40 today, but it was cool to hear a clip of the rendition of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" from "Rock of Ages." Ryan said "Love it, such a great song", which it is. If AT40 were willing to get more creative and go back further with extras they should play the Def Leppard version, which though from 1988 is obviously still well known and recognized today (likely even to many who don't remember when the original came out.)

Don't forget that it has been used recently in that Burger King commercial for their new Cinnabons. It goes to show what a smash this song was, and still is.

Probably because he was born in Belgium and it's a rare interesting fact. Plus it's a lot easier to list off the other two instead of every Australian who hit #1. Maybe they're saving that for another week.

At any rate, I thought it was a good intro to #1. It's not often we hear pieces of songs from the 1960s.

Yes it was a slow week, but at least there was a new #1. In fact, we've had 3 newcomers in a row at the top. Also the whole top 3 (as last week) has featured artists. That seems uncommon, I think.
No 241's again this week, and no new songs in the top 10. My fave Adele song's running out of steam.
At #23 thru 25, we get 3 "command" songs in a row. #39 and 34 remind me that Harry Nilsson had hits with Everybody's Talkin' and a different Without You.
Ryan said that Kirko Bangz was not named after Kurt Cobain.
