The Billboard 200/HOT 100 Thread: Jason Mraz Will Shank His Way to the Top

[City Lights]

A bag song is a bad song is a bad song

[dyedred19]

It's honestly terrible, like they threw a bunch of plates and instruments down a flight of stairs, but I'll admit that it is kinda fun to see Britney's name near the top of the iTunes chart. It will be interesting to see if it has legs.

I hope not. The last thing I want is to have my ears bleed from hearing it repeatedly on the radio.

[Largo]

I'm listening to this thing right now, and VB and Dyed basically described it perfectly. It's HYSTERICALLY BAD, though. What the hell is up with the random British fembot in the middle of that song?! And why would you quote the Winkies in a pop song?! OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS ENDLESS AND STUPID AND I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AND HOW IS THIS SONG 4 AND A HALF MINUTES LONG?!

[kupo]

Big Fat Bass was almost five minutes long. will.i.am loves stretching the most boring and repetitive beats and the worst raps out to excruciating lengths. I'm convinced he's a sadist.

[dyedred19]

The only good part of the song is the re-hash of "it's Britney, bitch" and even that isn't terribly clever.

Phillip Phillips's "Home" hits another high on the Hot 100, moving 12-8 in its 22nd week. Considering that its sales have increased now at the pace of its radio airplay this could easily make it to #1, maybe even by year's end.

Insane.

Any stats on top selling singles by Idol alums? I wonder where this ranks compared to "Before He Cheats," "Since U Been Gone," etc.

I believe Kelly still holds that record with "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)"

[Donezo]

It's apparently 6th.

1. Kelly Clarkson - "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - 3.9 million
2. Carrie Underwood - "Before He Cheats" - 3.6 million
3. Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown - "No Air" - 3.5 million
4. Daughtry - "It's Not Over" - 3 million
5. Kelly Clarkson - "My Life Would Suck Without You" - 2.7 million
6. Phillip Phillips - "Home" - 2.6 million
7. Kelly Clarkson - "Since U Been Gone" - 2.5 million
8. Daughtry - "Home" - 2.3 million
9. Jordin Sparks - "Tattoo" - 2.2 million
10. David Archuleta - "Crush" - 2.1 million

Sometimes I forget that Daughtry was a thing.

[dyedred19]

LOL David Archuleta.

Gurl you were too slow.

[erikdean]

Gurl you were too slow.

[Vincent Blanchett]

Ew, that Daughtry song sold 3 million copies?!

[dyedred19]

Alicia Keys is set to underperform like crazy this week.

[erikdean]

Alicia Keys is set to underperform like crazy this week.

Shouldn't she be used to that by now?

[City Lights]

Alicia Keys is set to underperform like crazy this week.

Her album's pretty awful. I'm not surprised. AND I LOVE HER.

[siowafc]

OMG, "Tattoo"!

I can't believe that more of Kelly's Breakaway singles aren't on there, though? "Because of You"? "Behind These Hazel Eyes"? These songs were massive hits?!
