The "NowPlaying" hashtag continues its stint at the top of Twitter's most talked about topics list on March 24.

The music recommendation term is followed by "#TLS" as people retweet quotes from @TheLoveStories account.

In third place is the meme "#verybadsituation." Twitter users are tweeting about some bad situations that they have got themselves into or situations they hope they never find themselves in.

"Very bad situation[s]" that Twitter users are describing include: "Speaking to a person you barely know only to have a burp accidentally come out mid-sentence," "Just got your man's name tattooed to later find out that he's cheating" and "being robbed at gun point with no money on you."

Apple's iPad has bounced back into Twitter's trending topics after a few weeks' absence. People are mostly retweeting iPad-related headlines from newspapers and blogs or talking about how much they want to own the "magical" device.
