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. Guest Tweetmaster: Dave Hodgson.

#9 (Pop Songs): Katy Perry – Wide Awake

This is about as spiritual as Katy Perry gets. Unless you can see how that shot in the “California Gurls” video where she shoots whipped cream out of her cupcake bra is totally about reincarnation.

FUN FACT: Perry will sing for President Obama at his upcoming 30 Days To Victory concert.

#4 (Hot 100): Flo Rida – Whistle

 

I tried the number and just got a woman saying “this voicemail account has not been set up.” Even when you call Flo Rida on the phone, the only memorable part is voiced by a female.

FUN FACT: An Australian court has ordered Flo Rida to pay $400,000 to the promoters of a local festival or they’ll seize any future earnings he makes in the country. Look out, Flo Rida, the offence is also punishable by booting!

#7 (YouTube): Justin Bieber – As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean)

36,000 Retweets. 36,000! And I have a feeling this one was ghost-written by my dad over his morning coffee.

FUN FACT: Billboard just named Bieber #1 on their list of Top 21 Under 21 for the second year in a row.

#4 (R&B/Hip-Hop Albums): Frank Ocean – Channel Orange

That’s a little harsh. We can’t all get paid to play video games!

FUN FACT: The video he mentions for the song “Pyramids” is eight minutes long and… yeah, pretty not safe for work.

#2 (Digital): Kanye West – Clique (feat. Jay-Z and Big Sean)

“Dr. West, put down that phone and get over here! We’re moments away from curing malaria for all of humanity! I… damn, that’s one thick booty! Get her to send some nudes.”

FUN FACT: Rapper Roscoe Dash has claimed that he wasn’t credited for songwriting done on West’s “Cruel Summer” compilation. How is he supposed to explain this one to Mrs. Dash?
