Canadian

The front-runner

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."

Perhaps you're one of the 9 million YouTube users who have watched the Harvard University baseball team dance to this one during a van ride to an away game. A few months before that video went viral, Jepsen was touring across her native Canada in her own "soccer mom van," opening for '90s survivalist boy band Hanson.

"Show by show, we'd start to sneak a box of merch onto the Hanson tour bus so we could get away with a little more leg space," Jepsen says. "At the same time, I was negotiating the deal with Scooter Braun."

Braun is the guy who discovered Justin Bieber, who actually alerted Braun to Jepsen's existence when he heard "Call Me Maybe" on Canadian radio. Jepsen is now signed to Braun's Schoolboy Records, and "Call Me Maybe" has risen to the summit of the iTunes singles chart.

Alongside swooping strings and a disco beat that thumps like an anxious heart, Jepsen serves up the song's chorus while staring at her shoes: "Hey, I just met you/ And this is crazy/ But here's my number/ So call me, maybe?" In today's hyper-sexualized popscape, the song's appeal feels obvious. Here's a 26-year-old singing about the butterflies that usually quit flapping after adolescence.

"I think my personality is a little more coy rather than aggressive when it comes to love," says Jepsen. "There are often times when you meet somebody, and there's some chemistry, but you let it lie. ... It's scary to approach somebody."
