Taking over the #1 spot this week is Now 43 with 111,000 sold, and no, I can't believe people are still buying these either. Also, Elle Varner's Perfectly Imperfect debuts at #4 with 33,000 sold.

Finally, after 9 weeks of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, we have a new #1 single in the country! ...And it's another shitty song, Flo Rida's Whistle (3-1).
