The Good:
DCfC returns at #15. (Keep voting for DCfC)
Jason Mraz +11 to #7
Estelle not anywhere to be found. (don't vote for this so it can stay an ice cube)

Coldplay +7 to #9
Sara Bareilles returns at #12.
Duffy +12 to #8
Colbie still on the voting list.
Usher/Young Jeezy -8 to #13
Justin Nozuka debuts at #18

The Indifferent:
Adele out.
Rihanna +3 To #6
Mariah +1 to #10
Usher and Madonna removed.

The Bad:
Lenny Kravitz, Marié Digby, and Tristan Prettyman removed from the list. (VH1, for your 3 atrocious removals, you are today's worst persons in the world! I am really pissed with the heinous Rush Limbaugh and Bush/Cheney-caused removals of Marié Digby and Lenny Kravitz moreso than Tristan.):sad :

OK JGibson, you really need to stop blaming Limbaugh and Bush/Chaney. They have nothing to do with VH1 in any way.

But regardless, I am gonna get Delta on the countdown one way or another!

VH1 Top 20 Premiere this Saturday is: Leona Lewis-Better In Time.

I'm really happy that they're premiering this but pissed at the same time because this means Bleeding Love won't reach the 20/20 club which Leona is 3 weeks away from joining.I wish they could have waited and premiered this on the Saturday Bleeding Love would have been set to retire but I guess they decided not to,oh well.

Bleeding Love may or may not retire, considering that with a few songs that were at least 1 week slow to add them.

Better In Time Premiring already?BTW Is This The Us Or UK Version?

[Cloud]

Yeah that is a good point,there is the chance of VH1 adding BIT 2 weeks later after they premiere it but with alot past removals they've done with Matchbox Twenty and OneRepublic 2 weeks away from joining the 20/20 club this could possibly be Bleeding Love's last week.

And to answer your question Brandon it looks like it's the UK version the way their showing it on the main Top 20 page.I thought they would have made a US version too like they did with Bleeding Love but I guess not.The UK version fits the song perfectly though,I guess the US felt it didn't deserve change which in my opinion I'm glad they left it.

[Cloud]

Just found out that the video that VH1 is premiering ain't the UK one.The US did make their own version,it's the same as the UK,only difference is they took out the horse scenes,other than that it still has all the same scenes as the UK,so only little differences.

[Brandon]

Thanks For That Cloud.It May Not Retire Or It Might.We Will Just Have To Wait and See.

[JGibson]

If the VH1 Playlist isn't up by 12:45PM CDT, then either Luis or Guru will post it. Then again, VH1's playlist may be frozen due to the 4th of July, which is actually good news for Leona's Bleeding Love.

Chyron Alert: This morning, for 2 videos during the 5AM hour of Jump Start (in the STL area), OneRepublic, Stop and Stare; and Colbie Caillat, Realize were shown with a reverse L-Bar, covering the bottom of the scree and the right side of the screen, and was marked Undefined. So after the break, when Gavin DeGraw's I'm In Love With A Girl, VH1 reverted back to its usual light-blue colored logo for Jump Start and the moving up and down video chyron information.

Also, I will do the scores for VSPOT and Weekly on Sunday, either at the hotel or at my house (the latter being likely)

[Tightrope]

As long as Delta debuts tomorrow, I'll be happy. I wonder if she will be on VH1's You Oughta Know artist group too?

If Delta doesn't debut and Estelle debuts instead, I will be furious!

[Brandon]

I Can Post The Recap Tommorrow.If Not Somebody Else Will.
