rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

hahaha wooooahaha

Don't forget Daft Punk. Both "Around the World" and "One More Time" reached #61 on the Hot 100. Although, I'm not sure those really qualify as hits. I'm actually surprised they got that high.

...and "Music Sounds Better With You" reached #62. Daft Punk be placin' in the low 60s.

warning track power

Crazy. I seriously thought for a long time that "Music Sounds Better With You" was like blog-house or something; I didn't hear it until 2004 (probably via an ILX poll) and had no idea it was from the '90s, much less a semi-popular song.

Wow, I really can't believe that about "Music Sound Better With You." I don't ever recall seeing that anywhere on MTV or even late night radio mix shows (the only place you really heard dance music in NC). I mean I saw the video to "Around the World" many times and would hear it around occasionally, but never "Music Sound Better With You." This reminds me that I had "Around the World" on a Virgin label sampler record store cassette freebie thing. On of my roomie's hated it, but two of us loved it so it saw many rewinds. As a college student, I collected those free in store cassette/cd things like crazy. Okay, I'll stop now.

Yeah I never heard it until well after the fact, either.

you guys are weird as fuck!!!

the song got played the hell out from the time it dropped for like the next three years

Rev isnt weird he's just young
but the rest of you ...!

xp Well, let's be honest, Rodney was like 5 years old at the time, and I was only listening to records on Matador and Thrill Jockey.

this felt kind of ubiquitous at parties i was going to tho

I was about 12 at the time, and that didn't stop me from hearing "Around the World" when it came out.

Deej, I have always had a feeling that your parties have been v. different from mine. Most of the parties I went to in college involved putting on Moby's Play at midnight and Pinkerton at 2 AM.

oof Moby!! i mean they played the strokes at every indie kid party i went to my fresh. year but msbwy still seemed pretty ubiquitous

i couldn't imagine hearing one more time or around the world on the radio but i assumed they were both pretty ubiquitous

i heard "one more time" quite frequently..."around the world" not so much

werent you like 7 years old when 'around the world' came out

Recently I heard "One More Time" followed by "I Believe I Can Fly" on the radio. That was pretty wtf.

yes, but i grew up watching MTV.

Your missing piece of the puzzle, Modjo's 'Lady', got to number 81.

Recently I heard "One More Time" followed by "I Believe I Can Fly" on the radio. That was pretty wtf.

wow @ that, not to mention it being in washington

I had no idea, either.

BROmerton

lol Grammy effect

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

Janet's Discipline is kicking my ass! There are really only 2 duds as I see it--"Never Letchu Go" and "Greatest X". Otherwise I've been listening to this straight through over and over. Even the skits are hilarious, especially "Good Morning Janet" where she sounds like she's emerging from some sort of embryonic cocoon before some counseling from Keoko. The Missy track is maybe a bit lacking (with Missy insisting that "This is crazy!"), but I think it's growing on me.

Overall I had very low expectations for this so I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope it's received well. I feel like if this had come out before her last two relative duds, it would be welcomed with open arms.

WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT THE BUCKCHERRY SINGLE?

i really like it

alex how do you feel about it?

sub-"Delilah"

yeah, "Sorry" does nothing for me. "Everything" was about as wussy a song as I'm interested in hearing from Buckcherry, and I didn't even like that one that much. can't believe they're working the 5th single from a 2-year-old album.

^^plain white t's strategy

not really -- PWT have one hit song, which they kept re-releasing over and over (on an album, then an EP, then on another album) until it finally became a smash, where Buckcherry released a bunch of singles off one album and two were very gradual sleeper hits, and they finally took that momentum and knocked it out of the park with a big instant ballad hit.

so we should see some big movers next week with 'no air' (hear this all the time now, jumped 11 spots), 'love in club' and 'elevator' (which jumped 70+ spots this week) all in the itunes top 5

Leona Lewis, Simon Cowell's pet project over in the UK, is making dents on the charts here already with Bleeding Love. She's going to get the Idol bump (maybe performing on elimination night after the Beatles ep?) so look out for her.

btw i meant big movers into the top 10, hopefully we can finally say good riddance to apologize and no one

How the hell has "Low" sold 3 million copies?

"Touch My Body" jumps from 57 to 34 in it's SECOND WEEK. CRAZINESS.

it's going to go straight to #1 when it's released on iTunes.

also surprising is how well Ray J's single is doing...

paula abdul gets her first top 100 hit in 13 years

Really happy to see "Teenage Love Affair" charting, one of only a couple really fun, enjoyable songs on the Alicia Keys album and up until this point I'd only seen indications that one of the really bad boring songs would be the next single.

"Wreckless Love" is slated to be the next song - it's probably my favorite song on the album so I'm happy with that choice.

Yeah that's the other song I really like that I was referring to, I'd really be fine with either of those being a hit.

RIP

The artist that goes by the name of Flex has appeared from seemingly nowhere to becoming a fixture in the top 10 of the Billboard charts.

A native of Panama, Flex's success here is a continuation of his initial success in Mexico. There, under a different artistic name (which was changed for his U.S. release as it is a derogatory term for African Americans), Flex had been charting high thanks to his single "Te Quiero." Now, Flex is repeating the feat here in the United States, with "Te Quiero," the single, and the The Romantic Style/Te Quiero, the album.
