rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

I'm kind of opposite of jaymc here, the concept of the song is kinda stupid but I don't feel actively offended or annoyed by it, I just think her voice, the tune and the overall execution of the idea add up to a pretty mediocre song.

"is there a more self-loathing experience than matt armstrong posting to ilx threads"

what a bizarre non-zing. what does that even mean?

"I'm kind of opposite of jaymc here, the concept of the song is kinda stupid but I don't feel actively offended or annoyed by it, I just think her voice, the tune and the overall execution of the idea add up to a pretty mediocre song."

try playing it louder.

it didn't work any better than putting your posts in a bigger font.

ive done a total flip-flop on these two songs since this was posted - really digging that coldplay tune now & fortunately its the one im hearing more too

the Coldplay joint has grown on me too

"A Milli" is in the top ten.

I thought it was at #11? Oh well, new chart in the morning, so maybe it will be in the top 10 in a matter of hours.

i thought it was at 11 too. new 1 in the morning?? :D

that natasha bedingfield track can kiss

my

ass

it almost makes me angry. that sticks and stones line is done.

yeah, the only good part of this song is that fifteen-second segment where the dull-ass beat drops out, leaving us with a stumbling organ and a less annoying Natasha singing something along the lines of 'there's this place where i go that nobody knows' etc. Then the bass kicks in, she breaks into that butterflieeeeeeeeessssssssssss note and I swoon before she returns to the piece of shit that is "Pocketful of Sunshine." ;_;

I have similar relationships with Fergie songs.

a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill a milli a milli a milli a milli a mill

correct me if im wrong but isn't "a milli" kinda like my humps 2.0 in terms of it's ascent. not a planned single, buyers forced the it on radio, forced the videos and the promos etc even tho the label had other songs planned as singles. i guess "my humps" had a faster ascent but i think the correlation is there

it's also my humps 2.0 in terms of its appeal! MY HUMPS MY HUMPS MY HUMPS vs A MILLI A MILLI A MILLI

also 'when i grow up' is terrific but somewhat overshadowed in the whore-pop stakes by danity kane and tila tequila

when i grow up may or may not be terrific, but i don't understand the fucking video, as in WHY IS THAT OKAY YOU KNOW TO SHOW OUR KIDS

i know, i know, the kids shouldn't be watching that crap. always blamin the momma!

and tape store otm re: natasha

Guys, Hayden Panetierre!

eww it's so terrible i can't even look at her weasel face

when even Surmounter can't some starlet's bullshit that's a serious "kill yourself" moment

missing a verb in there. defend, i guess?

well, rly, i just think hayden panetroll is so fuckin ugly. i mean honestly she looks like something that would eat straw.

lol

that is w/out question the meanest thing i have ever seen surmounter say here, by like a counry fucking mile

id hit but surm still otm

Metro Station! How nice of them to pre-mix their rock song for play at dodgy suburban nightclubs. What i always wanted Robert Smith guesting on bad dance pop singles to sound like.

That Hayden Panettiere clip would make more sense if it was, like, vaguely latinate euro-trance-pop and Hayden's name was actually Hayla. But the song is quite good. Not as good as "Stars Are Blind", or not yet at least: the charms of kinda pointless sleazy summer reggae pop have to creep up on one, usually. Also I'll take her video boyfriend if she has no further use for him.

in a good or bad way? as it is i fear i have too much emotionally invested in the chart positions of t-pain's new solo stuff

had no idea Akon still had the juice to take a relatively unestablished artist into the top 10. I haven't even heard "Dangerous" much at all.

what's up with "Lollipop" and the remix being two separate entries on the Hot 100? I thought remixes like that were generally counted toward the same airplay stats as the original (with stuff like "Love In This Club Pt. 2" getting separate entries through that altered title loophole).

kinda hilarious that when DJs play "Can't Believe It" for once they actually seem to be deliberately cutting it off before the Lil Wayne appearance.

had no idea Akon still had the juice to take a relatively unestablished artist into the top 10. I haven't even heard "Dangerous" much at all.

maybe the ascent of tpain was like the us public running away from home for 8 months but then going broke and remembering how great home was in the first place

or something

"Dangerous" is a total breezy summer jam, tho. The Lil Wayne thing is a fuckup. "A Milli" is at #6. "Lollipop" is at #15.
