Carly Rae Jepsen: Call Her Number-One!

Forget “Maybe.” You may now call Carly Rae Jepsen Queen of the Music World. That’s because the 26-year old Canadian, signed by Justin Bieber to his label just a few short months ago, has officially hit number-one on the Billboard 100, with “Call Me Maybe” overtaking Gotye’s “Somebody That You Used To Know” atop the rankings. The addictive Jepsen single has been lip dubbed by everyone from Katy Perry to the E! Fashion Police . But how can we be certain the track has broken through to every conceivable demographic? Because former Secretary of State Colin Powell actually sang it during a commercial break on CBS This Morning . We’re not kidding… Colin Powell Sings “Call Me Maybe”

Scotty McCreery Debuts at Number-One

Scotty McCreery is growing accustomed to finishing in first place. The talented young country crooner did so on American Idol in May, of course, and now he’s done so again on the Billboard Top 200. McCreery’s debut album, “Clear as Day,” sold 197,000 copies in its first week out, according to Nielsen SoundScan, placing it atop that chart. Scotty McCreery – I Love You This Big “My head is just spinning,” Scotty says. “It started out kind of low: They said 100,000 maybe. Then every day I saw the numbers climbing. It’s wild: It wasn’t a year ago that I was a normal cat, and now I’m number one on Billboard. It’s insane, it really is.” McCreery is the first Idol champion to hit number-one with his initial release since Ruben Studdard in 2003. Lauren Alaina , meanwhile, released her first effort this week and will try to match Scotty’s total.
