Commentary- Beginning with 2009 Q2, I expanded my Top 15 to a Top 17. Firstly, because it was a unique number; and secondly because there's 34 lines on a piece of paper. The spring of 2009 (the tail end of Grade 11) was also when the blah period of my teenage years ended. So I have fond memories of the music of 2009 / 2010.
- All of Q2's #1's are from familiar faces. After Britney bounces back for a week, the Pussycat Dolls nab their fifth #1. Maybe they really are one of my favourite artists. Yelling “JAI HO!” was fun.
- “Boom Boom Pow” was a song that I constantly went back and forth on. At first I thought it was weird, then I thought it was cool, then I thought it was annoying. Consequently, its longevity wasn't very good.
- I couldn't get enough of “Waking Up In Vegas” in 2009. Which was great since I had despised “Thinking Of You”. It's probably when my Katy stanning period began. She blocks Green Day from making a comeback #1. By this point, I had lost most interest in them; aside from nostalgia. She also blocks Kelly's highest charter in “I Do Not Hook Up”.
- Gaga's #1 streak, unsurprisingly, continues. “Paparazzi” made a huge debut after the video premiere and winds up being my 17th birthday #1. “I Gotta Feeling” was super instant with me as well, but it quickly burned out as the summer progressed. Those 26 weeks on the Hot 100 were agonizing too; even if I liked both this and “Boom Boom Pow”.
- The Pussycat Dolls join Rihanna and JT in the 6 number ones club. Though it would the final single they'd ever release (I think). I loved the “I Will Survive” interpolation.
