Sorry I'm a little behind on this one, but the 12:36 newsletter just informed me that Toronto's very own The Weeknd had the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 last week. That's the good news for him. The bad news is that "Heartless" recorded the biggest drop from #1 in the history of the chart. That's likely because the song is not very good.
