rolling pop 2011

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?

lightness of touch

i didn't think that much of the jlo album though

pitbull's second verse is awesome

"stereo love" had more lightness of touch imo

rumor has it tinie tempah's next single stateside will be a collaboration w/ wiz khalifa, produced by stargate

wiz + stargate are 2-2, so sign me up

I think there's about 100% chance of that being better than "Written in the Stars", even if it sucks.

People comparing "On The Floor" to "Stereo Love" probably dont know this song:

i have caught myself enjoying "Written In The Stars" once or twice, oddly enough

i don't think i've (knowingly) heard that song

of course that's where the melody comes from (i think lambada was mentioned somewhere upthread) -- the reason i often compare on the floor to stereo love is because of the general aesthetic of the chorus, or at least the beginning of it: suddenly soft, with breathy vocals and the beat percolating lightly in the background.

yeah i haven't heard that one but it still owes an obvious debt to "stereo love" -- the vocals and especially the synth textures in the chorus sound almost identical

for "on the floor" obviously, not the kaoma song

"La Lambada" was a huge worldwide hit (except in the US) and sold 5 million copies in 1989. But I do see how the production of "On the Floor" could be compared to "Stereo Love".

not hating this j-lo album on first listen

'run the world' is gorgeous. 'invading my mind' would be great if it was faster. 'on the floor' is classic

I love "hypnotico," "papi," "what is love" and "good hit"

there was a small mention of this in the UK top 40 poll from a few weeks back but this is pretty fucking great right here

it sorta reminds me of those dance remixes of songs like "since u been gone" & "love story" except since it was conceived that way it works 100% and is a total anthem

lol whoops

excuse the stupid interlude in the video btw

dre is at 16 on the hot 100?????

i don't think i've even heard 'i need a doctor'

save yourself

"Hello" is from last summer.

yeah i know but i'm just hearing it on the radio now

+ there were basically no ilx posts about it
