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.

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.

flex te what, flex te who

I remember bumping into Flex on the Mexican charts under His Other Name occasionally, and always wondering if he was entirely sure what he was playing at...

It's also worth mentioning that 'Bleeding Love' has basically been crushing charts all over the world, not just the UK. Australia, Germany, Sweden... all over the shop. It's coming to get you, basically.

i heard 'low' and 'irreplaceable' on the radio at the same time the other day. thought it was some weird/cool synergy

J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 March 2008 06:53 (sixteen years ago) link

nice to see Ms. Badu place

wtf is a "Lady Antebellum"

The Reverend, Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:06 (sixteen years ago) link

so it tuns out i really like the second alicia keys single, despite those shitty twinkling bells

J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:08 (sixteen years ago) link

2nd alicia keys single has always good, 1st single surprised me by becoming good after a long period of sucking

The Reverend, Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:10 (sixteen years ago) link

help me, I like "With You"

The Reverend, Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:10 (sixteen years ago) link

lurving chris brown is nothing to be ashamed of

J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:14 (sixteen years ago) link

I know, it's just that his previous two singles were ridiculously awful and he's awful on that Lil Mama song and beyond awful on that Rihanna remix that I heard eight-thousand-seven-hundred-and-twenty-three times and just expected his to keep being awful awful awful.

The Reverend, Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:20 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah 'with you' grows on me every time i hear it which is thankfully not too often

J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:20 (sixteen years ago) link

chris brown mostly annoys me but the song "take you down" on his now album is a JAM. and of course he's on "no air" which redeems all of his other musical sins

The Brainwasher, Thursday, 6 March 2008 07:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Um, is no one else mindblown that Usher just popped up at number one after seemingly stumbling along with leaks that didn't get much of a reaction? What do folks think about "Love In the Club"? I know The Reverend doesn't think much of it from the R&B thread, but I'm kinda feeling it. Although the Jeezy verse could please disappear and I'd be quite happy. But still 51 --> 1 is a little surprising to me. I thought Usher may have lost his fire after the Luda thing just fizzled, but this is pretty impressive.

matt2, Thursday, 6 March 2008 14:08 (sixteen years ago) link

"Love Is in the Club" jumped to number one because it was first available on iTunes this week. He is still Usher after all. The real test will be to see how much staying power it has. Personally, I think it's pretty mediocre.

Greg Fanoe, Thursday, 6 March 2008 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, Greg OTM. These big jumps don't really mean anything anymore.

jaymc, Thursday, 6 March 2008 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I know I'm really late to the party, but "Low" is pretty good!!

musically, Friday, 7 March 2008 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link

lol. r u srs?

The Brainwasher, Friday, 7 March 2008 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't really listen to the radio anymore; I have an iPod and I subscribe to a bunch of mp3 blogs, so I'm pretty self-sustaining. I need to get back into the game though. Are there any pop radio stations based out of Seattle besides KISS?

musically, Friday, 7 March 2008 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link

And does anyone else hear Timbo/Timba/Nelly's "Give It To Me" in "Low"? Those beep beep beeps in the bg sound a lot like it.

musically, Friday, 7 March 2008 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link

"Low" reminds me more of Unk's "Walk It Out" than anything else.

Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 7 March 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

musically: There's kube 93, but that's rap/r&b, rather than top 40. They certainly play the hell out of "Low".

The Reverend, Saturday, 8 March 2008 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link

why is hallelujah by jeff buckley the number one song on itunes

musically: There's kube 93, but that's rap/r&b, rather than top 40. They certainly play the hell out of "Low".

Ah, KUBE. If I really were into hip-hop, I think I'd listen to X104 instead...it's a HS-run station out of Mercer Island with basically the same playlist but minus the on-air "personalities" and commercials. X104 used to be more like KISS, with Top 40 pop and R&B, so it's unfortunate that it changed. The station I would LOVE to listen to is C89.5, which is dance radio, but I cannot get it on decent reception and could only listen to it when I worked in Seattle city limits. Same with 90.9 (top 40, operated out of a college in Tacoma). Obviously I could listen to anything on my computer, but I've always had a wish to find a local radio station I really enjoyed that didn't sound like crap when I use my stereo.

musically, Sunday, 9 March 2008 02:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I love love love "With You," it's the first midtempo Chris Brown song I've heard that was halfway decent. And yeah I just heard it a couple of days ago.

musically, Sunday, 9 March 2008 02:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Huh. I get C89.5 just fine out here in Everett, but I've never managed to receive X104 at all. I only even know about it because I ran across the station's website, and I'm convinced it's as mythical as the minotaur. What is nice though, is that I can get the Beat 94.5, which is Vancouver's top 40 station, although truth be told, I've barely listened to them since they switched from the hiphop format they had roughly 2002-2005.

The Reverend, Sunday, 9 March 2008 08:52 (sixteen years ago) link

I shouldn't say C89 comes in "just fine", per se. It's a bit fuzzy where I'm at, but go about a mile in any direction, and it's crystal clear.

Is Flo Rida a big star? I see him at the top of all these charts, but is it just a momentary thing/a fluke or is he a "Next Big Thing" to watch?

I guess Flo Rida is from my state, Flo-rida.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 9 March 2008 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Flo Rida is not a big star at all, no, just one of the (many) rappers who got T-Pain on a hook during his hot streak, and somehow managed to ride it to a bigger hit than Plies or whoever did. He was barely even known in Southern hip hop before "Low," but that song's success I guess makes him an instant next big thing, Timbaland follow-up at all. I like him but I definitely don't see him as a potential A-list star.

Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 9 March 2008 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I love love love "With You," it's the first midtempo Chris Brown song I've heard that was halfway decent. And yeah I just heard it a couple of days ago.

-- musically, Sunday, 9 March 2008 02:27 (19 hours ago) Link

u mad, his other midtempo songs ("Yo," "Kiss Kiss") are just about the only ones I can tolerate, "With You" is just lukewarm Stargate leftovers.

Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 9 March 2008 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link

I know I'm way out of music's pop culture loop, but it seems to me -- and again, I'm just going by glancing at the pop charts once in a while -- that there are fewer and fewer A-list big stars with long careers. Seems like now there's more one-hit or a few-hit wonders then ever before.

But again, I realize that I might be laboring under a complete misperception. Am I?

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 9 March 2008 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I think that's part total truth, part misperception (because of course you only remember the A-list stars from the past, if you look at charts from way back then of course you'll see a ton of forgettable people with just that one big song), and part because hits are now very much driven by producers, songwriters and featured artists, which is why you get a big song "by" Flo Rida seemingly out of nowhere that's really just part of T-Pain's hit parade.

Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 9 March 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link

I am totally down with lukewarm Stargate leftovers.

'kiss kiss' is still the shit

blog house 'remix' the only bearable part of my unfortunate blog house club excursion two weeks ago

deej, Monday, 10 March 2008 02:31 (sixteen years ago) link

"Kiss Kiss" isn't midtempo, is it? Basically I meant that "With You" was the only ballad-y CB song I've liked.

I shouldn't say C89 comes in "just fine", per se. It's a bit fuzzy where I'm at, but go about a mile in any direction, and it's crystal clear.

Yeah, I can hear it in the car, but not at home.

musically, Monday, 10 March 2008 02:56 (sixteen years ago) link

well, I'll give you that "With You" is better than his other ballads, but I think "Kiss Kiss" is still midtempo (at least compared to stuff like "Run It" and "Wall To Wall" that beats you over the head with THIS IS A CLUB HIT signifiers).

Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 10 March 2008 03:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Is it time for me to point out again that "Right Time" is by far the single best Chris Brown song and is both a ballad and midtempo? Also, "With You" is just fine, but c'mon who doesn't start singing "to the left, to the left" after the first 10 seconds. Stargate really, really have proven to be extraordinarily not diverse in their sound palette.
