BEP "Just Can't Get Enough" is v Alex Da Kid, yeah?

i'd like to be the first person on ILM to mention Christina Perri's "Jar Of Hearts" since it has yet to be rightfully singled out as one of the most horrible and inexplicable chart hits in recent memory/

I heard this for the first time the other day and think it is an absolute jam.

not in any way shape or form, literally or figuratively, no

I really like the Nadia Oh song! Probably the best bit of royal wedding paraphernalia there'll be.

Not to derail the thread but this is my favourite bit of royal wedding merch so far:

"You know my dirty little secret / I wanna sing like Patti Smith for you / Cos I love you like a punk rock song."

i like the song "grenade" by bruno mars

yeah, it's not too bad

was at my dads yesterday & read the newyorker sfj thing on him, it was really good, kind of abt how he is plain in the most universally palatable way which sounds like a dis but acknowledges thats its somehow kind of undeniable

"look at me now" is officially chris brown's biggest hit in 3 years

the fact that chris brown has a hit makes me too depressed to even finish typi

"she ain't you" is decent for a new chris brown song, but mainly because it's a "right here/human nature" rehash and i've been on a swv tip lately

i probably never would have bothered listening to that song, but i cannot possibly ignore anything related in any way to "right here/human nature"

... and yeah, it is exactly the same. it might as well not exist.

i like "look at me now" so i'm glad that ended up being his first top 10 hit in however long

is there a special reason why this song is doing so well in the uk right now

maybe people kept watching the video waiting for Cillian Murphy to show up?

First (official) single from new girlband Soundgirl, out June (I think). Sort of how I wanted the last Rihanna album to sound:

And yes, it is practically a re-production of Carly Simon's "Why"... still dope tho.

think im going to download the bruno mars album

damn @ k'naan having a writing credit on "the lazy song"

i h8 the lazy song do u generally like k'naan tho? waving flag is frontrunner worst song of the decade imo

i've never heard a k'naan song

i hate "the lazy song" too, just pushes the wrong buttons for me -- it's weird cuz i think it's a fine concept for a song & the lyrics are actually kinda funny but idk the celebratory nature of the whole thing really gives me the wrong vibe -- also the faux-reggae train/jason mraz genre is something i really despise

i think "grenade" is really great tho

me 2

lol i thought this had been bumped because of the new beyoncé single - come on people. i'll start a new thread

I kind of like this... a lot? though it sounds like 10 other songs.

That Vendela song is the best pop song I've heard so far this year #postsverymuchincharacter

"down on me" is officially a bigger hit than "birthday sex"

I still (unfairly) think of this guy as a one-hit wonder tho.

Genuine LOL earlier when I spotted that "Fast Car" is set to go top 5 in the UK this weekend, til I realised that was probably just some Britain's Got Talent thing.

Wretch 32 sampling the Stone Roses is also #2 at present.

I was really excited for a moment when I thought that meant The-Dream rather than Tracy Chapman.

Actually, the UK album charts are lots of fun, especially in midweek. Not sure is weirder - Explosions in the Sky in the top 40 or Jamie Woon in the top 10. Metronomy had a top 40 album last week. Men'al.

kinda confused about the wretch 32 single doing so well, i much prefer his last one

this song is kinda fucking massive

^shiplo will HATE this (obv)

today's drive home was really an eye opening experience -- not only did i realize that i was ready to have akon back in my life, but i've also REALLY been sleeping on the new BEP joint -- it's like "meet me halfway" part II, i totally <3 it

interested in what al thinks of the BEP song

don't know why you'd single me out re: "Take It Down Low," I'm one of the few people here that's admitted to enjoying most of the recent Chris Brown songs! not gonna make too strong an instant reaction about it right now, though, could go either way really.

i really like "Just Can't Get Enough," at least before the tempo change.

cuz you hate akon xp(aragraph)

well i know you like "locked up" -- idk nevermind!

anyway it's cool to hear a r&b singer doing an overt dance song that isn't another house song involving pitbull

ddlovato demetria lovato
#TheAwkwardMomentWhen.. you realize you're writing a HIT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!)*(#^&)(*@&#_(@*%&@_#()@*

lol demi.. I hope you're right

aww me too

I don't really want her working with Timbaland. I like the pop/rock vibe and I know she wants to go r&b... Well, just don't be safe and boring, please!

She's been in studio this week with a woman formerly credited on 'Got Dynamite', so hopefully she keeps the rock alive.

when she says r&b i'm envisaging stuff more in the vein of "behind enemy lines" (which remains my favourite lovato song)

"got dynamite" is my second favourite so it's all looking good for me

every time you lie => got dynamite => stop the world

is the best 3 track run, like, ever

this J. Lo album is sounding REALLY good on first listen

"get on the floor" is pretty much a classic imo

yeah it's catchy but what does it have that "stereo love" doesnt? pitbull's awkward attempts at zeitgeist grabbing?
