UK Chart Roundup: Bow Down To Carly Rae Jepsen

I'm so glad that my stan-dom for Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has influenced the world enough to cause the song to top the UK chart this week. It's a real testament to the power of persuasion and Carly Rae's powerhouse soul vocals.

Meanwhile, given that this Canadian broad is affiliated with Justin Bieber (his manager Scooter Braun signed her up for exploitation representation in the US), I just assumed she was some teen pop tart. But no! She's 26 going on 27. (As opposed to 26 going on 29 or 43.)

But let's get down to brass tacks. Odds of Lady Jepsen being a one-hit wonder? Possibly. Odds of her having this big hit all over the world then charting another single at like #21? Count on it.

Whatever. This jam is already a contender for the upper half of my best of the year list.
