Billboard Blitz!!!! Aug 25

Dude
Boring week here. The Top 25 looks an awful lot like last week's Top 25, with very few debuts able to scramble up the charts. The Top 10 is even worse with 8 of last weeks albums holding on with a shuffle of positions, while two debuts sqeeze in. Let's run through this shall we.

25. Jeff Bridges Jeff Bridges
24. Taylor Swift Speak Now
23. The Band Perry The Band Perry
22. Breaking Benjamin Best Of
21. Trace Adkins Proud To Be Here
20. Victorious Soundtrack
19. Jackie Evancho Dream With Me
18. Mumford and Sons Sigh No More
17. Zac Brown Band You Get What You Give
16. Selena Gomez and The Scene When The Sun Goes Down
15. Katy Perry Teenage Dream
14. Blake Shelton Red River Blue
13. Bad Meets Evil Hell: The Sequel
12. Lady Gaga Born This Way
11. Foster The People Torches

10. Kidz Bop 20
Round here we enjoy a little Bon Iver and James Blake (to a lesser extent) and when word broke they had collaborated on a track, yo we had to check that shit out.

Really good shit here. Love the "whoofing".

9. Beyonce 4
Hey Beyonce, music websites are abuzz with Lil Wayne's new video that supposedly disses your husband (Jay-Z) and claims that Weezy is gonna steal you away from him. Time to examine the evidence.....video is not on Youtube....Here's Jeff Bridges off his debut album.

Really like this song, sounds like a missing track from the amazing Crazy Heart Soundtrack.

8. Blue October Any Man in America
The Texas rockers are back with their 6th album. In the past I've really enjoyed this group's singles.

Emotional, dark and haunting, exactly what I want from a Blue October single.

7. Eric Church Chief
New Tom Waits, new Tom Waits, new Tom Waits.

Love it, love it, love it.

6. Eli Young Band Life at Best
Cool our other debut is from Texas too, but sadly not a rock band. This is their 4th album and best showing on the Billboard Chart. I've never heard of them.

Eh, songs ok. Not crazy about it.

5. Jason Aldean My Kinda Party
Jesus Jason, when is this fucking party going to end. In other news the Oasis brothers are not suing each other anymore. That's good, I'm looking forward to Noel's solo album. Here's why:


4. Luke Bryan Tailgate and Tanlines
Lots of Country bands on this list, but you know what I was thinking? I haven't heard the latest OneRepublic song that's getting a lot of airplay. Proably should correct that.


3. NOW 39
Lil Wayne has a #1 digital single, want to hear it?

"I'm Ray Charles to the bullshit", that's a good line.

2. Adele 21
Proud of you Adele, pushing back to #2, though I am disapointed I missed your show last night in the Twin Cities. I had to work. Here's an awesome be song from Florence and The Machine.


1. Jay-Z and Kanye West Watch the Throne
Jay and Kanye hold the crown for another day, somehow keep the Adele beast back to hold the crown for another day. Since we heard track 1 off this album last week, here's track 2.

I can feel the grandeur in the beats and with Beyonce belting out the chorus, and though I don't feel like our two rappers add muc to the song in their rhymes; still enjoy the song
