go d-d-do it

No SUAD is not a better song than Umbrella. Umbrella was way more successful and should've retired. I'm not saying I hate SUAD but I don't think it will retire 'cause unforunately it's falling already. Umbrella should've retired. ****ing MTV!

Most definately.

agreed

Hey everyone...did they mention anything about TRL's VMA week (next week) or if TRL will go back to it's 3:30 slot soon? I haven't been keeping up much lately, and I've been invited to the studio next week. lol I hope some special guests pop up since the VMA's is around the corner.


BTW- Why the hell is Arvil #1 and Justin Timberlake isn't on the countdown?? *shakes head*

Meh, **** Fall Out Boy. They'll be back in a few weeks or a month with "Me + You". Just relax.

Agreed

Because Justin flopped big time.

If there's anything good out of this, Avril will probably fall tomorrow. When's the last time someone went 3 straight on top?

hmmmm it was either boys like girls (did they?), or FOB (im pretty sure they did)

very very good for avrill go when you are gone

Justin and FOB should return

Avril won't retire for sure

can't wait for Chris Brown retirement >>>it's the most recent retirement now

keep going NELLY + ALY & AJ !!!

Umbrella should've retired

since trl summer ends tomorrow.once reeces1 post the recap.can someone figure out what were the most requested songs through memorial day through tommorrow.i like to see what was the most requested video of the summer.

Today was a good TRL.I missed TRL today but I left my VCR on Autorecord and just saw it cause I was busy all day today.TRL was good I'm so happy to see Do It climbing up,Hopefully Nelly will be in the top 5 tomorrow.I also noticed Chris Brown And Paula DeAnda have both been on the countdown for 34 days,it looks like they might retire on the same day if they don't fall off,hopefully they'll retire.Congrats to Avril being 1 again,Even though I like Avril I like Paula too so I hope Paula gets 1 tomorrow since she only has 6 days left before retirement.I can't believe Soulja Boy debuted that sucked,hopefully he'll fall off tomorrow.Wow I'm shocked Chamillionaire I didn't think would make the top 5 so quick,he might be in the top 3 tomorrow with the way he's jumping.So good to see Aly and Aj hosting and not that Douchebag Damien.Tomorrows TRL should be interesting.
