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.

#2: Psy – Gangnam Style

Justin Bieber has the power to summon Psy with three magic words, but does anyone have the power to banish Psy when we’ve finally become sick of his stupid song and dance?

FUN FACT: In case you’re curious, “Oppa Gangnam style” translates to “big brother is Gangnam style,” where Psy is referring to himself as Oppa. The Gangnam district of Seoul is a trendy, hip, and exclusive area, and Psy likens it to Beverly Hills. So basically, the chorus of Gangnam style is just Psy saying “I AM YOUR BIG BROTHER, LET’S GO SHOPPING.”

Psy seems destined to become a one-hit-wonder internationally, but he wouldn’t be the first musician with a popular dance fad to do so. If you checked out our list of songs that have their own dance moves, you’d know that Psy doesn’t really stand a chance.

#88: Rick Ross – Diced Pineapples feat. Wale & Drake

Degrassi’s 11-year cycle is pretty gruelling, but now Drake has his pick of virtually any imaginary University or College.

FUN FACT: Drake recently teamed up with A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, and 2 Chainz on a Noah “40” Shebib-produced collaborative single called “Fuckin’ Problem.” Listen below:

#37 (R&B/Hip-Hop Songs): Wiz Khalifa – Remember You feat. The Weeknd

FUN FACT: Wiz Khalifa just released a new mixtape, Cabin Fever 2, just a couple of months before his next label release is set to drop. Check it out here.

#58: Christina Aguilera – Your Body

Are you perhaps speaking from Xperience, Xtina?

FUN FACT: Christina Aguilera’s cover art for Lotus has spawned more than a few photoshop memes. Check out the best below, via Buzzfeed:

#14 (Dance/Electronic Albums): Lady Gaga – Born This Way

Lady Gaga asked Die Antwoord to open for her on tour earlier this year. The South African rap duo declined, and more recently lampooned Gaga in their “Fatty Boom Boom” video.

FUN FACT: Amidst public scrutiny over her recent weight fluctuations, Lady Gaga is apparently releasing a line of “healthy bottled water.” Before today, I thought the fact that water is good for you was implied, but hey, I’m no marketing major. Some people are saying that Lady Gaga’s weight fluctuations have all been part of an evil marketing campaign to help launch the product. More importantly, I hope the bottle is shaped like an alien egg or something.
