Away from Bieber Scooter is also the promotional force behind Canadian Pop star, Carly Rae Jepsen. After being introduced to her song “Call Me Maybe” by Justin Bieber, Scooter quickly signed Carly to his School Boy Records, and then partnered up with Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope Records to distribute the project. In the United States Bieber and Scooter’s push allowed “Call Me Maybe” to reach even bigger heights than it previously achieved on the Canadian charts. The song reached number one on the week of June 23, 2012. The song currently is in its eighth consecutive week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, for the week ending August 11, 2012. This gives Carly the longest running number one in The United States for this year. “Call Me Maybe”also makes her the first Canadian female artist to have a number one on Billboard Hot 100 in five years since Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend”.(May 2007) The song is only the fourth song that was seven weeks at number one by an artist from Canada tied with “Sh-Boom” by The Crew-Cuts, “Informer” by Snow featuring MC Shan, and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” by Bryan Adams.
