-10 for August 8
close call Wait For You, Elliot Yamin
close call Stop ME (US Edit f. ****** Tears), Mark Ronson f. Daniel Merriweather
-10 Tarantula, Smashing Pumpkins
album - zeigeist / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 10
This is more due to me having no idea what the video is on about or why Billy is dressed and ready for a Klan meeting.
-09 Undeniable, Matt Kearney
album - nothing left to lose / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 9
Er...Matt both needs to sleep and decide if he plans on his slam poetry aspirations after this video. Hello, NLTL is a cutesy song so he pretends to rap?
-08 Clothes Off!, Gym Class Heroes
album - as cruel as school children / weeks on - 3 / worst spot - 6
And I don't recal their lead singer "rapping" on "The Queen & I" or "Cupid's Chokehold" either. And furries are scurry!
-07 Amusement Park, 50 Cent
album - curtis / weeks on - 8 / worst spot - 3
-06 When You're Gone, Avril Lavigne
album - the best damn thing / weeks on - 3 / worst spot - 6
People go to war and other people at home are sad. We did this already Avril, it was called "Wake Me Up When September Ends." Did you miss a memo?
-05 Wall To Wall, Chris Brown
album - exclusive / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 2
You still suck and the big dance setpiece at the Egyptian statue looks horrid with all the non-used space, but you suck less than others this week.
-04 Whine Up, Kat Deluna
album - 9 lives / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 1
I must apologize to Kat. You are cherub-y and have hips and I pray that food and pasta stays in your diet since you seem to be adorable, if a ****** singer. And in no way do you look like Paula DeAnda, since you still wear most of your clothes and show an appreciation for cooked meats.
-03 The Great Escape, Boys Like Girls
album - boys like girls / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 3
Can someone pass legislation limiting emo-posing girl-jeans-wearing assmunchers getting success on radio to one a year? And can we push them back a few more years? I mean Fall Out Boy is still the emo poseurs to live up to, dontchaknow.
-02 Better Than Me, Hinder
album - extreme behavior / weeks on - 12 / worst spot - 1 [6 weeks]
-01 Easy, Paula DeAnda f. Bow Wow
album - paula deanda / weeks on - 1/ worst spot - 1 [1 week]
Congrats Paula! After annoying the **** out of me with your stalker song, you try cutseyfying yourself with that Walk Away song which no one cared for. So you remembered how you got Baby Bash' attention, flat-ironed your hair to a point where it's flatter than your vocal capabilities and told everyone you're Easy. Mission accomplished, you and your ***** transformation and your still inabilty to sing in anything other than ass got you the coveted Negative #1 slot!
Oh, and I finally saw the A Bay Bay video. Today, hence it not being there just yet
