Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe gets its 9th week atop the Hot 100, the longest run at #1 in 2012. Though I could care less about Carly Rae Jepsen, this begs the question "Why doesn't she have an album out?" Again, I don't care about her music, it just seems odd that someone with such a strong stench of one-hit wonder has no album out, even after 9 weeks at #1. (Side note: Don't front like you can't see yourself in 2022 watching "I Love The '10s: 2012 Edition" on VH3 and saying, "Hey, remember her?" when Call Me Maybe is discussed.)
