Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS OF THE WEEK: For the first time since we’ve been posting this chart, Carly Rae Jepsen’s unavoidable “Call Me Maybe” isn’t #1, as she’s edged out by Katy Perry—but then, all good things must come to an end, as Peyton Manning once sagely noted. The same can be said for Gotye, whose Record of the Year candidate “Somebody That I Used to Know” is finally fading after a run that has spanned the entire year so far, along with Rihanna and Usher, who slide off the leaderboard.

1. Katy Perry, “Wide Awake” – 205k
2. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Call Me Maybe” – 203k
3. Flo Rida, “Whistle” – 191k
4. P!nk, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” 171k
5. Maroon 5 f/Wiz Khalifa, “Payphone” – 155k
6. Ellie Goulding, “Lights” – 150k
7. David Guetta f/Sia, “Titanium” – 127k6.
8. Gotye f/Kimbra “Somebody That I Used to Know” – 126k
9. Cher Lloyd, “Want U Back” 114k
10. Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen, “Good Time” – 104k

Moving up rapidly—as you can see if you’ve been paying attention—is Cher Lloyd’s “Want U Back.” Could the fetching newcomer, already a star in the U.K., be the next pop diva? (7/19a)
