Perhaps the least shocking news in the music world, Vampire Weekend’s new album Contra has hit Number 1 on the charts.

There are always songs that pervade everyday life, and usually a couple of them pop up every few years and get stuck in America’s collective head. Many of them are one-hit-wonders, songs that shoot their artists to the top of the charts, only to find that their next tune can’t live up to its expectations. Billboard recently named Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” to be the cream of the one-hit crop by naming it the one-hit-wonder of the decade.

John Mayer’s fourth studio album Battle Studies was released last week and with nearly 300,000 projected copy sales by this Sunday, November 22, Battle Studies is headed for the top spot on The Billboard 200 charts.
The heartbreak-infused album centers on all of Mayer’s very public failed relationships and exactly how he feels about his most recent love interest, Jennifer Anniston. He may not have a “Jennifer” titled track, but it is obvious that his unrequited love is a fresh, still open wound on Studies.
