Top 5 Songs for Week Ending September 14  9.14周末最热5首歌曲排行榜


We’re making our way through the five most popular songs in the Billboard 1 Magazine Hot 100 pop singles chart, for the week ending September 14, 2013.


我们准备推荐Billboard杂志截止至2013年9月14号100首最热流行独唱中的最流行的5首歌曲。


Our lineup has something for everybody: if you liked last week’s songs, you won’t be disappointed, since they primarily trade places. If you like new sounds, you’re also covered, with one single re-entering and another debuting 3.


我们的组织为大家准备了各种类型(的歌曲):如果你喜欢上周的歌曲,那么你不会失望,因为这些歌大多都更换了位置而已。如果你想听新的声音,你也会因为另外一个声音的登台得到满足。


Let’s start in fifth place, where Jay Z and Justin Timberlake rebound 4 a slot with “Holy Grail.” Jay made business headlines this week - he announced he is selling his share in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team after nearly a decade of ownership - he must, since he now also represents athletes as a certified 5 agent with Roc Nation Sports.


我们从第五位开始,Jay Z和Justin Timberlake凭借“Holy Grail.”这首歌重返排行榜,Jay这周刚刚制造了一条商业版的头条-他声称他正在出售布鲁克林篮网队的股票,而Jay是这支球队近十年的股东,而他必须这么做因为他同时还代表着Roc Nation Sports的认证代理运动员。


Miley Cyrus dips a notch 6 to fourth place with “We Can’t Stop,” but no matter - the girl just scored a major TV victory. She’ll host the October 5 episode of perennial 7 audience favorite Saturday Night Live. Needless to say, she’s also the musical guest.


Miley Cyrus凭借“We Can’t Stop,”这首歌占据了第四名的席位,但是请注意,这个女孩刚刚取得了一个伟大的电视业上的胜利。她即将主持10月5日进行的常年观众钟爱的Saturday Night Live中的花絮。不用说,这位同时也是实力派的音乐唱将。


We have a debut 2 in third place, and what a debut it is: Eminem returns with “Berzerk.” Produced by bearded hit maker 8 Rick Rubin, it samples tunes 9 from 1980s rock favorite Billy Squier and hip-hop greats the Beastie Boys. Eminem drops The Marshall Mathers LP 2 on November 5.


第三位是个新生派的登台,Eminem演唱的Berzerk。这首歌由大胡子打击乐制作人Rick Rubin制作,音调取样于80年代最受欢迎的摇滚派歌手Billy Squier和hip-hop代表人物Beastie Boys。Eminem放弃了11月5日的The Marshall Mathers LP 2。


We have a new champion single - something that hasn’t happened since June. Twelve-week champs Robin 10 Thicke, T.I. and Pharrel fall to second place with “Blurred 11 Lines.” You may be interested to know that in addition to topping the Hot 100, “Blurred Lines” went to number one in nine other countries, including Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom.


我们的独唱排行榜的冠军宝座上有了一个新人,这种事情在6月前还没发生过。蝉联12周的冠军Robin Thicke,T.I. 和Pharrel凭借歌曲Blurred Lines跌倒第二名。你如果听到Blurred Lines这首歌登顶Hot 100的同时,也问鼎了其他国家的排行榜,包括澳洲,德国,还有英国,那你也许会感兴趣。


Who knocks Robin Thicke out of the box? Katy Perry, that’s who. “Roar” hits the jackpot by climbing that all-important final step. This is Katy’s eighth career U.S. singles win…in only five years. Her fourth studio album Prism arrives on October 22.


是谁夺去了Robin Thicke的冠军宝座呢?Katy Perry。Roar这首歌赢得了赌注,它完成了重要的最终步骤。这是Katy第八次美国生涯中获此殊荣,而这仅仅用了5年时间。她的第四张专辑Prism将于10月22日发行。


Can Katy hold the gold? We’ll find out next week. Come back and say hello.


Katy能蝉联冠军吗。我们下周揭晓。欢迎届时回来。
