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.

#25: Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

Wouldn’t everything in your life be especially amazing if you were constantly flanked by Justin Bieber’s back-up dancers? Even menial tasks like grocery shopping an jogging would suddenly become especially amazing.

FUN FACT: Singer/songwriter Ally Burnett is suing Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City for allegedly plagiarizing a melody from one of her songs in their collaborative hit “Good Time.” The whole lawsuit rests on the assumption that said melody is innovative and unique, and if you listen below, I’m sure that you’ll agree that both incarnations of the melody are neither of those things:

#24 (Myspace Songs): Lady Gaga – Poker Face

It looks like both Lady Gaga and Rihanna had the brilliant idea of dressing up as weed for Halloween, but my question is this: who wore weed best?

Definitely Rihanna, right?

FUN FACT: Gaga recently had words for Calvin Harris on Twitter, after he claimed that he turned down an opportunity to remix of one of her songs.

#36 (Hip-Hop Songs): Wiz Khalifa – Remember You feat. The Weeknd

A grown man in a baby costume will never not be funny. Unless it’s a weird sex thing. Then it’s creepy.

FUN FACT: Wiz Khalifa was one half of a couples costume this Halloween with his “doobie and Bic lighter” combo. Because of course he was.

#66: Lil Wayne – No Worries feat. Detail

Dressing as Lil Wayne is a pretty easy last-minute costume if you’ve got dreads, but an even easier costume idea is dressing as Borat. And hey, no dreads required. Just ask Drake.

FUN FACT: Did you hear about Lil Wayne’s recent health scare? He had two seizures in less than 24 hours, but is said to be headed towards a full recovery. All the best, Weezy.

#27: Katy Perry – Wide Awake

Katy Perry is probably the only one who will dress up as a ballot on a day that isn’t Halloween.

FUN FACT: Watch out Katy Perry! Crystal Castles is super pissed off at you for selling sex to kids. In other news, I’m super pissed off at Crystal Castles for selling “being a gross screamy weirdo” to d-bags everywhere. SWOOSH.

Oh, and it’s definitely worth adding that despite her lack of thickness, Miley Cyrus dressed up as Nicki Minaj for Halloween:
