rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

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

http://www.zshare.net/audio/12398222c92b9c5c/

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:

http://www.americanidol.com/contestants/season5/i/f/taylor_hicks.jpg

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)

good to see "Closer" catching on, though, that one's grown on me big time.

xp

"shawty is 10" was a big pop song but it didn't really feel like an r&b song really-- basically what i mean is that i think "shawty is a 10" climbed to the top of rap/r&b cuz it was moving up the pop charts, whereas i think "falsetto" and "i luv your girl" are climbing up the pop charts on the strength of the rap/r&b push, which i think means he could kinda become the male version of keyshia cole, i.e. having every single be in the top 10 of rap/r&b for months w/o ever cracking the top 20 on the hot 100 (something like "let it go" excepted)

by top 10 of rap/r&b i guess i really mean top 5-7

love/hate's pushing up on 500 thou sold as well

here's last week's top 200 albums sold. always fun to peruse

The new Pussycat Dolls single is ace. And I think it samples the Yardbirds?!

xp

"shawty is 10" was a big pop song but it didn't really feel like an r&b song really-- basically what i mean is that i think "shawty is a 10" climbed to the top of rap/r&b cuz it was moving up the pop charts, whereas i think "falsetto" and "i luv your girl" are climbing up the pop charts on the strength of the rap/r&b push, which i think means he could kinda become the male version of keyshia cole, i.e. having every single be in the top 10 of rap/r&b for months w/o ever cracking the top 20 on the hot 100 (something like "let it go" excepted)

huh?

2007 "Shawty Is a 10" (feat. Fabolous)
U.S. Hot 100 17
U.S. R&B 6
U.S. Pop 100 45

didn't really feel like an r&b song really

?????

when I first heard it I dismissed as an "I'm a Flirt" knockoff

both of those are pop songs

alex, what i was saying up thread is just a personal opinion. looking at the chart numbers won't really prove or disprove what im saying really

narcissism of small differences much?

You got r'n'b in my pop, no you got pop in my r'n'b

The bad news is that Coldplay is #1. The good news is that Coldplay are keeping Katy Perry out of #1.
