Stop all the clocks: Carly Rae Jepsen is no longer Number One in America

  • August 16, 2012
  • Darren Sharp

The Carly Jepsen Reign has finally let up: for the first time in nine weeks 'Call Me Maybe' is not at the top of the Billboard charts.

Having been overtaken by Flo Rida's subtle blowjob ode 'Whistle', Jeppo takes a tumble to Number 3. The rest of the Top 5 remains the same as last week, with Ellie Goulding's 'Lights' at Number 2, Katy Perry's 'Wide Awake' at Number 4, and Maroon 5's 'Payphone' at Number 5.

In other 'inter­est­ing' US chart news, Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together', debuted at Number 72 despite being available digitally for only two days.

It has been predicted that the song may end up sur­pass­ing the first week sales of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way', which would give Taylor the biggest debut for a digital song by a woman in history.
