This week on Twitter: Justin Bieber passes out in Paris, a billionaire stunts on Drake, and RedFoo dresses his age for once

by Aaron Zorgel

At the end of each week, #Top40Tweets lists a cross-section of artists on the current pop charts and puts their tweets on display (along with their current chart number) for your enjoyment/scrutiny. This week, we look at 5 artists on the Billboard Music Charts.

#9: Justin Bieber – Boyfriend

At a concert in Paris yesterday, Justin Bieber was knocked out cold after running directly into a wall of glass. Good to see he still has a sense of humour about it, and we’re glad he’s ok, but goddamn it, how is there no footage on the internet of this happening?

FUN FACT: This isn’t the first time Justin Bieber has had an altercation with glass. Check out the video below to see his run in with a revolving door from 2010:

#89 (Canadian Hot 100): Adam Lambert – Never Close Our Eyes

FUN FACT: Adam Lambert is the first out gay musician to have a #1 record on the Billboard 200. Last week, his album debuted at #1, with 77,000 units sold.

#4 (R&B/Hip-Hop Songs): Kanye West – Mercy feat. Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz

You know you’re finally famous when Paul Wall drops off a custom-made grill for your mouth.

FUN FACT: Big Sean and Lil Wayne just might be looking to squash this G.O.O.D. Music vs. YMCMB beef that’s been going on with a collaboration. Rumour has it the pair worked together on a new Lil Wayne single called “My Homies Still.”

#39: LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem

If it weren’t for the goofy lensless glasses, I’d say that RedFoo was starting to dress his age. He’s 37, by the way. The guy who raps about his wang in every song he’s ever written is 37-years-old.

FUN FACT: LMFAO will be co-hosting the Much Music Video Awards on June 17th in Toronto.

#14 (R&B/Hip-Hop Songs): Drake – Crew Love feat. The Weeknd

With an estimated current net worth of about $1.4 billion, T. Boone Pickens is ranked by Forbes as the 328th-richest person in America and ranked 879th in the world.

His initials (B.P.) are prominently featured in the name of his company — BP Oil.
