Week Ending June 10, 2012. Songs: No Maybes About It

Carly Rae Jepsen's

"Call Me Maybe" jumps from #2 to #1 on the Hot 100, displacing the biggest hit so far this year, "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra. That smash dips to #2, ending an eight-week run at #1. Jepsen is the first female artist to reach #1 with her first Hot 100 hit (as a lead artist) since Ke$ha scored with "TiK ToK" in January 2010.

"Call Me Maybe" tops the 3 million mark in U.S. sales this week. This week, it becomes the best-selling hit by a lead female solo artist so far this year. It swipes the title from Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."

"Call Me Maybe" was #1 in Jepsen's native Canada for four weeks, beginning in February. That's when Justin Bieber got on board. Bieber tweeted his enthusiasm for the song to his more than 20 million Twitter followers. He also made a video in which he, Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale sang the song. With that kind of high-profile support, Jepsen's song took off around the world.

"Call Me Maybe" logged four weeks at #1 in the U.K. in April and May. Jepsen is the first Canadian artist to release a solo hit that reached #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. since Celine Dion scored in 1998 with "My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme From Titanic)." These two hits are worlds apart in sound. On the bubbly "Call Me Maybe," Jepsen sounds like a contemporary of teen stars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. On the stately "My Heart Will Go On," Dion sounded like the heir to Barbra Streisand. You may be surprised to learn that the two singers were just three years apart in age when they had these hits. Jepsen is 26. Dion was 29.

"Call Me Maybe" rises to the top 32 years after Blondie's similarly titled "Call Me" hit #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. That song, sung by Debbie Harry, was strong and commanding, where "Call Me Maybe" is charmingly tentative.

"Call Me Maybe" holds at #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the fourth straight week. It's the first song by an unassisted female solo artist to stay on top so long since Adele's "Someone Like You" had four weeks on top in September and October. (If you want to count women who had a little backup help, "We Found Love" by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris was the nation's best-selling digital hit for five weeks in October and November.)

"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra tops the 5 million mark this week. It reached the milestone faster than any previous song in digital history. In fact, it shaves 11 weeks off the old record. "Somebody…" is in its 23rd week on Hot Digital Songs. The old record was set by LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It," which reached 5M in 34 weeks.

Maroon 5's "Payphone" holds at #3 for the fourth straight week (and the seventh time in the past eight weeks). Incidentally, this isn't the first top 10 hit about a pay phone. Primitive Radio Gods hit #10 in 1996 with "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand."

Katy Perry's

"Wide Awake" jumps from #19 to #9 in its third week on the chart. It's her 11th top 10 hit; her eighth in a row among songs that have been promoted to radio. Perry has been smart to release both fun, day-glo hits like "California Gurls and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" and more serious and thoughtful songs like "Part Of Me" and "Wide Awake."

Adele also makes digital history this week. She becomes the first artist from outside the U.S. to land two 5-million-sellers. The British star achieves the feat as "Someone Like You" tops the 5 million mark. Her 2011 smash "Rolling With The Deep" has sold 7,220,000 copies.

"Someone Like You" is the 30th song to sell 5 million digital copies. All 30 songs have reached this level in the last three years. ("Low" by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain was the first 5-million digital seller, on June 21, 2009.) Katy Perry has had four 5-million-sellers, more than any other artist. Lady Gaga is second with three. The Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, Flo Rida and Bruno Mars are tied with Adele with two each.

Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 songs.
