shit teyana taylor "google me" is really good

i was all set to hate on it because i saw her episode of my super sweet 16 and she was a total brat and completely unlikable-- maybe playing up to the shows rep, and google me obv does nothing to mask her conceitedness-- but the chorus is really lush even though the rapping is just C+ at best

Ne-Yo - Closer

in the vein of "the way i are" and "please dont stop the music" or riding their coattails?

i think there was some talk about that in the r&b thread grady

i saw her episode of my super sweet 16

wait she was on the show??

google me is hotness

yeah like, pharrell was in it and they said she was signed to star trek. she was wearing bathing apes and ice creams etc. and i never thought i'd hear a word from her again but whaddya know

i give her the benefit of the doubt kinda because i'm sure mtv edits the shit out those to make every subject seem like a total bitchy brat

yeah i mean that's the draw of the show

MADE is filming at my school, and they've asked several of my friends to talk shit about their subject.

what's the person wanna be made into?

they've gone through at least three people, i think. first one wanted to be a prom queen, they showed up and asked her to be a cheerleader, she was pissed but went on until they decided to stop...another guy wanted to be a ladies man and is still filming, i think??? there's a third girl, and i don't remember what she wants to be

oh lol i didn't know the process was like that

i was always like "who the fuck would apply to be on made"

admittedly i don't watcha s much mtv as i used to but how did a group i've never heard of in my life just sell 190 thousand copies of an album

did they even have a single on the charts? a mention in the r&b thread even?

you've never heard of Dannity Kane?

nah dude Day26

ohhhh, yeah neither did I until someone on here told me to dolwnload their remix with Fat Joe and Rick Ross and I've listened to it a bunch of times actually

or "had I" SORRY EVERYBODY

just further proof that Diddy is a genius

I really just barely started to hear the Day26 single during the week of the album release, it hasn't gotten very far up the charts yet (not in the Hot 100, down at #39 on R&B chart). I guess it just goes to show that TV trumps music in terms of audience size every time, even w/ some random basic cable show that nobody I know watches.

by that logic tila tequilla would be able to move like 2.6 million copies in her first week if she dropped an album

not that i disagree with you at all

day 26 is fairly popular w/ 106&Park viewers because QWANELL AND WILLIE ARE SO HAWT OMG. so I'm not surprised that they went to #1. Their album has some bangers on it.. "Together" = !!!.

yeah i know, a dozen used bin fillers from American Idol can disprove what i said, but it's not a hard and fast rule (ok i said "every time" but disregard that). just i'm never surprised when reality shows and random background music on Grey's Anatomy have a huge impact on music sales.

why is flo-rida still in the top ten.

man bleeding love is awesome. i didn't realize it until i found out that one republic dude wrote it, but it kinda gets exactly where 'apologize' wanted to but didn't-- adult 40/hot 100 crossover but not in a mariah/mary j way in terms of produciton, def fancies itself as a forward thinking pop song with the drums, and whether it actually is or not i'm not sure but it sure stands out like i think 'apologize' wanted to

I surrendered to "No Air" just recently, but "Bleeding Love" hasn't gotten to me yet.

"bleeding love" is great (if a bit maudlin), but those drums are terrible... they're incredibly cheap sounding.

yeah brainwasher otm about the drums

ive totally surrendered to no air-- personally the song wouldn't work w/o brown's thin, fragile (i guess some people would call it awful) voice

like if they got a dude singer who could hit high notes and run like sparks it would be way too much

The wonky drums are my favorite thing about "Bleeding Love," it's the tune that doesn't quite stick with me.

I've poured the haterade on CB plenty of times but I have no problem with him on "No Air," I don't think his voice is necessarily weak on it, just relatively restrained.

Whoa, I didn't realize that "Bleeding Love" had made it to #1: Leona Lewis is, amazingly, the first British woman to hit #1 on the US chart since Kim Wilde in 1987.

only in midst of a serious economic downturn could something like "bleeding love" hit #1

Huh? Billboard tells me Mariah is still #1 with Leona #2.

Leona was #1 for one week before Mariah took it for the last two weeks.

Oops! I was getting all amazed that it had leaped over Mariah. Although it's still pretty impressive to jump back over Madonna (sure it's 2008 Madonna, but still).

Yeah, I just haven't been paying attention for the last few weeks.

wtf radiohead @ 37

Wow. Only their third charting single in the U.S. and first in 12 years ("Creep" hit #34, "High and Dry" #78).

OK, this kind of explains it:

i'd feel lame linking to Idolator here but Molanphy's column goes into a lot of detail about it:

So I guess this is mad old but I just heard Estelle's "American Boy" for the first time today and holy shit I think I have found my Summer Jam for 08 already.

i still can't hear that song without thinking about the Green Acres theme.

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"
