Congrats are in order for Gotye! Aside from having one of the most played songs in 2012 with 'Somebody That I Used to Know,' he now has a 2013 Grammy for the track.
Good news for Carly Rae Jepsen, but not the kind that’ll get her in Lady Gaga‘s good graces. CRJ’s hit single ‘Call Me Maybe’ enjoyed its eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It matches Gotye’s record for longest stint at No. 1 so far this year. He nabbed that stat with ‘Somebody That I Used to Know.’
As acts that seemingly came out of nowhere to score the year’s two biggest hits so far, fun. and Gotye have a lot in common. The guys of fun. have paid tribute to their fellow chart-topper with a cover of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore.
