Was Ricky #1?
Nope.
20. Black Eyed Peas The Beginning
19. The Decemberists The King Is Dead
18. R. Kelly Love Letter
17. Justin Bieber My World 2.0
16. Jamie Foxx Best Night of My Life
15. 2011 Grammy Nominees
14. Bob Marley and The Wailers Live Forever
13. Katy Perry Teenage Dream
12. The Civil Wars Barton Hollow
11. Mumford and Suns Sigh No More
10. Eminem Recovery
33 weeks on, and Eminem has re surged into the Top Ten once again. If the Grammy's are kind to Slim this weekend, he could get a couple more weeks up here in the charts. Em is also a top the Digital Songs Chart featured on the new Dr. Dre single with Skylar Grey.
Song makes me want a Dr. Pepper really bad. Very confused that this is Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey when Dre only has one verse. Eminem on the other hand has two verses and Grey sings the chorus several times. I know the song builds up for Dre's verse (and his ever delayed new album) but it's really nothing special. The whole songs pretty much about how he helped Eminem get started and how he's fucking taken forever to release his supposed last disc. I'm not diggin this.
9. Pink Greatest Hits....So Far
12 weeks ago this album debuted at #9, and lookey it's there again. I think Pink is a great artist so let's hear her big single off this new album.
Who doesn't like Pink? A rock/pop diva who writes her own songs, is fucking honest to her core, and is always catchy and fun. Lol, a fucking crazy music video, love the cow drinking human milk.
8. Taylor Swift Speak Now
Week 15 for Taylor, still in the Top Ten though losing a little steam with each passing week. A number of her concert tickets go on sale this week, so maybe that will get a rise out of her next week, or not, I really have no idea. Anywho, The JaneDear Girls debuted at #46 on the charts this week. Their a cutesy country duo of two smoking hot chicks (awesome) who can sing pretty good. Seems like their music is largely targeted at young females, but if you're curious you can see one of their videos here.
7. Jason Aldean My Kinda Party
Welcome back to the Top 10 Jason. Not sure what kind of horrible country things you had to do to rise from last weeks #14 position, but I'm sure it was worth it. Instead of listening to him, we're gonna watch a video from Trampled By Turtles. Are they new on the charts this week? Nope, I just fucking felt like it. Enjoy.
Isn't that shit magic, blue grass with a little rock kick to it. Don't wait too long to check out more of their great music.
6. Kidz Bop 19
WTF America, stop buying this shit. I don't fucking care if your kids like it, I don't want to fucking see it on this chart again, you hear me? So...let's turn to The Civil Wars who debuted at #12 this week. It's the groups second studio album, and since I've never heard of them until last week, let's have a listen.
I feel very late to the game on this group, but since this is their first television performance I can't be too far behind most of America. They sound fucking fantastic. Let's get some little fucking kids to try and sing this song.
5. Rihanna Loud
Leaping back into the Top Ten after being #13 last week, Rihanna is back and making headlines with a scandalous new music video. Let's watch:
Man Rihanna is a sexy beast. While I guess I can see why all these idiots are up in arms about this video (not sure if this is an edited version) fuck them, I like seeing Rihanna being naughty. Oh and the songs not bad either. Stay bad Rihanna, you do it so good.
4. Bruno Mars Doo-Wops and Hooligans
Week 18 for Bruno and he's up one spot from last week. Since I (again) don't want to talk about Mr. Mars, we'll journey farther down the charts to #89 where Matisyahu's new disc Live at Stubbs 2 has landed. This is the Jewish Rappers third live album, and sadly couldn't match the success of Live at Stubbs that debut at #30 in 2005.
While I think Judaism is stupid and Israel is certainly not a country I back up, I really do enjoy Matisyahu. He's got a style and delivery all his own, and man I digg it. I might not digg all this thought or convictions, but what rapper really has decent thoughts and convictions anyway; at least he's not rhyming about hows he's the best in the game, got stacks of cash, and bitches love me.
3. Ricky Martin Musica + Alma + Sexo
After coming out of the closet and releasing his own book, Ricky Martin debuts third this week with a strong Spanish album. Though Ricky might be a little disappointed with this showing, this album did debut higher than your last three records; though I don't think it will sell as well as they did.
This is one of those incidents where I wish there was no video for this song. The song is fucking horrible all on it's own, but by god, once you add these visuals it's a fucking crime. Who the fuck wrote this shit (5 people including Ricky) wow, drugs must have been involved. Hate this shitty feel good bullshit music, go back to making club music Ricky; at least than your music wasn't complete shit and Americans learned little Spanish phrases.
2. Red Until We Have Faces
Christian rockers Red grab find their highest Billboard debut with their third album. They also debuted #1 on Christain Albums Chart, but that's not the greatest accomplishment. I've been aware of this band now for several years, pretty sure I saw them at a festival once, but for the life of me can't recall what they sound or look like. Well, let's have a listen to their newest single and see how the Red Christians fare.
Oh Red, while I'll admit you certainly have talent, vocals sound good, apparent you know how to play your instruments, honestly you suck. You suck because your a complete rip off of Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin just with a Christian tag. This song sounds identical to those two bands, only lacking their better hooks and catchy lyrics. As a band you'll continue succeeding though, because your on a Christian label and therefore have a built in fanbase.
1. Nicki Minaj Pink Friday
Alright give her the crown. After 11 weeks on the Billboard Charts, hot new rapper Nicki Minaj has taken the #1 spot. She initially debuted at #2 on the charts and has spent the last 10 weeks up and down the Top 10 until now finally conquering it with 45,000 units sold last week. Nicki can be double happy, cause her debut album has also reached platinum status. With all these accomplishments, let's hear another track off Pink Friday.
Alright, this is by far the best Nicki Minaj song I've heard. I actually enjoyed this number; always good to have Rihanna guest on your track. A video for this song is suppose to be coming out soon, probably once Nicki's single with Drake looses a little steam.
Whatever happened to..........last week's Top 10?
10. The Decemberists 19
9. Kidz Bopz 6
8. Wisin and Yandel 42
7. Taylor Swift 8
6. Mumford and Sons 11
5. Bruno Mars 4
4. Grammy Nominees 15
3. Nicki Minaj 1
2. Iron and Wine 35
1. Amos Lee 26
Once again it was a tough week for last week's new albums, all of them plummeting out of the Top Ten. Sucks that we're left with the same faces week after week, but that's the music buisness for ya.
