rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

this new chris brown single is pretty great

"forever"-- another one for r&b gone house

yeah first thing i thought on hearing American Boy was "damn this is straight disco shit"

or just about anyway

it's too light of a song for me. i'm cool with breezy summer jam stuff of course but american girl doesn't really stick at all for me

i think she's got an annoying voice kinda too

The will.i.am song "American Boy" jacks (which is pretty much a straight franco-house rip) is much better than "American Boy".

will.i.am - Impatient

Is it a jack if will.i.am produced both?

Yeah. I don't care who produced the Estelle song, it took my jam and made it suck.

usually it's the way around with will i am right

har har

ture

I realize I need an economy-size late pass on this one, but "Bleeding Love" is pretty damn great. Scuzzy organs! Cavern drums! Yay!

"American Boy" is fantastic. If there was a Rolling 2008 Singles Thread I'd totally put that song on there.

"Bleeding Love," on the other hand, is FUCKING ADULT CONTEMPORARY GARBAGE.

omg my lit prof. started singing "Low" in class today

I had managed not to hear Sara Bareilles's "Love Song" until recently, but I really like it: I'm kind of a sucker for that kind of straight pounding piano, though.

So "Bleeding Love" is at number one for the third time. The last time I see that a song managed to reclaim the top spot twice is "Le Freak".

"Paper Planes" is at #14 on the bubbling under chart (why can't one of MIA's good songs..., etc.)

"bleeding love" is alright, i keep thinking change an element push it one direction or another it'd be great. that organ is fantastic though. still it's not sophie b. hawkins! i was just adjusting to finding out will.i.am produced 'american boy', nevermind that it's a rework of an older will.i.am track. ye gods. 'impatient' sounded alright (it sounds to me like what it became - a demo), i like 'american boy' alot better for the vocals/chorus and for trimming some of the ideas down. that's sorta crazy about 'bleeding love' dipping in and out of the top spot, itunes obv. how much play is it getting on american idol? is it like 'bad day'?

Leona performed on last week's results show, but that's been it for her and her song.

she was also on oprah. and tyra. and they play the video all of the time. and the song is always on the radio.

she seems nice and she's cute but she's a little boring, no? and I can't really see her having another hit from spirit.. from what I've heard the album is really dull but maybe I should give it a proper listen

Hmmm new Chris Brown "Forever" is pretty good.

total "the way i are" jack but i'm not mad @ it. as long as it gets "with you" off the radio

i love jesse mccartney's "leavin", glad it debuted so high (#4). I'm tired of chris brown

#14*

otherwise the chart is pretty unintersting this week, I fucking hate that new plies song with ne-yo.

i was O_O for like 5 mins after i found out mccartney co-wrote "bleeding love"

haha yeah otm about plies song

just heard "american boy" and i am feeeling it

I need "Sexy Can I" to go away fast. It is easily my least favorite top 10 song in a long, long time.

jesse mccartney song is pretty good, definitely flimsier than normal tricky stuff but i wouldn't mind having to hear this for the next few months

also o_O at them making him sing the words "walk it out"

my really old stat teacher tried to make a soulja boy joke. it was cute.

ungh make it stoooooop

eugh

anyway cool to see wayne back at #1

secretly hoping for "bust it baby" to sneak in to the top 10 for the lolz

new flo rida song with will.i.am is pretty good

"closer" is finally slowly rising-- i hear it all the time on radio down here so hopefully it'll get up there

i do NOT like the new pretty ricky single

David Cook also has the top ringtone and 5 of the top 6 music videos on iTunes...unprecendented iTunes domination? And has a song ever reached #1 on downloads alone in the US?

I don't think so - I think the only song so far to hit #1 purely on sales was Taylor Hicks' "Do I Make You Buy Michael McDonald Records?"

I've actually heard this one on the radio already...I don't think it's a stretch to say that DC one of the most commercially viable winners right off the bat. Especially when his competition is this guy:

wayne''s got 4 in the itunes top 20 right now, w/ "got money" obv being the one to really watch

cool to see jeezy in the itunes top 20-- i have no idea if this is getting any radio play tho

also happy to see love in this club pt. 2, the-dream, ne-yo and kardinal official all rising

the-dream's kinda carved himself a nice niche on hip-hop/r&b radio since 'falsetto'

"american boy" is about to crack the itunes top 10 and "closer" is in the top 25 now

awful pussycat dolls song in the top 10 >:[ also wtf is metro station

the-dream's kinda carved himself a nice niche on hip-hop/r&b radio since 'falsetto'

i don't really understand what this means since that was his 2nd hit (as a performer, and his dozenth as a writer)
