And that Saving Jane song "Girl Next Door" is in my Worst of 2006 list already. Dreadful, every cliche of songwriting and production and bored-indie-hurtness vocal delivery. Might as well have been a commercial for a dish detergent or a crumbling cheese. And yeah, they sound exactly like their name. Wasn't there another, similar band a couple years ago called Marry Me Jane? Yawners.

"Beep" is already starting to stall. #1 would be a lofty ambition at this point.

Three songs debut in the 50 - Shakira & Wycliffe's Jeans are #41, Ne-Yo has another single that involves him being a drip at #42, and Toby Keith takes 13 weeks to get to #48. Because he's a man.

However, the King's #1 ambitions may be hitting a stumbling block, specifically at #8, where this week's big climber is... RASCAL FUCKING FLATTS, who, having dipped out of the top 50 last week, have somehow shot up 44 places in the past seven days.
Outside o' that, Pink slingshots up from 30 to 15, Shakira and Ne-Yo are both up eight to 33 and 34. Debuts in the 50 for Tim McGraw's 'When The Stars Go Blue' (#42) and Paul Wall's 'Girl' (#45), with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Look, Look, We're Dressed Up Like Poison Or Something!!!' debuting at #21.

Meantime, Rihanna continues her slow 'n' steady, but I admit that "S.O.S." is starting to wear thin for me. I've bumped it from #1 to #4 in my Best of 2006 so far.
PS: Has MJB dropped another single yet? Her record-setting reign of (15? 16?) weeks atop R&B singles ends this week, with T.I. taking over.

Mary J.'s new single is "Enough Cryin'," it's a boring Aftermath-sounding track that I think is going to sink the momentum of her album just like the Dre-produced 2nd single from her last album did.

Indeed, they were the last, unless you count Tim McGraw and Nelly's "Over and Over."

Only other new entrant in the top 20 is ex-O-Town-ie Ashley Parker Angel, who makes his chart debut at #17. Outside o'that, The Fray and Shakira make decent advances to 22 and 29 respectively, and there's debuts in the 50 for 50 Cent & Olivia's 'Best Friend' (42) and THE MIKE SHINODA HIP-HOP EXPERIENCE featuring Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga, up from 86 to 45.

Def Jam only last week released the song to iTunes for sales, to coincide with the album's physical release.
Does anyone know where "Black Sweat" peaked? Or know of any sites that republish the entire Hot 100?
PS: That Rascal Flatts song is Tee.Dee.Yuss. And the video's a dud too.

Ashley Parker Soldier Spy climbs to #12 in his second week on as RASCAL FUCKING FLATTS slide from 6 to 13. Further triumphs for rock include The Fray (#18) and Nickelback (#20) making their first incursions upon the top 20. Just outside are Fort Minor, whose vaguely nauseating emo-rap thing climbs from 45 to 21.
Three songs debut in the 50 - The Dixie Chicks are straight in at #28, Nick Lachey and Chris Brown climb to #33 and #42 respectively. P!ATD and Saving Jane re-enter at 46 and 47.
That Tim McGraw single - not too bad, is it?

The inexorable/inexcusable rise of Fort Minor continues at #12, Ne-Yo climbs to 18, SHakira to 19.
Possible Def Jam-related premonition as Ullcooldge slips from 6 to 22, one place ahead of the Dixie Chicks single. The Dixie Chicks single is awesome. Chris Brown climbs from 42 to 25, Saving Jane break the top 40 for the first time at 34. New in the 50 - Shawnna (39), Taking Back Sunday (48 from 78), Yung Joc (is that the crunk equivalent of deciding The Thrills is in some way a good name for your band? He's #49) and Dierks Bentley rounds it out at 50.

And I confess to mild disappointment that Kelly C has apparently stopped at #12 with "Walk Away." Same feeling as when Janet's "Pleasure Principle" peaked at #11.
But yay for Rihanna, as some predicted. She stops by sometimes at the restaurant where my friend Eddie works and is apparently a total sweetheart.

Biggest noise in the 20 gets made by Lil Jon ft. E-40 & Sean Paul Of The YoungBloodZ, whose 'Snap Yo Fingers' clambers from 58 to 13. Three other massive climbers land just outside - Rihanna gets her second single in the fifty, as 'Unfaithful' climbs to 21 from 51, and at #23, possibly to mark TashBed finally departing the top ten, KT TUNSTALL! 'Black Horse & The Cherry Tree' soars from 79 to 23 after nine weeks on, and is still her only good single. Oh, and Christina Milian is at #24 from last week's #56.
Yung Joc continues to defy his rubbish name at #33, but it's no longer the worst in the 50 - say hello to Mary J Blige collaborator Brook-lyn, who helps propel The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul And Being Woken At 4 In The Morning With Your Disturbing Phone Calls from 60 to 39. Also - Field Mob ft. Ciara #45, Missy Elliott #48, Jason Aldean #49.

Also, among the Hot 100 debuts are Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" at 64 and Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" at 91. The latter is getting airplay at KFOG in SF, which warms my heart.

I still have no idea who or what Saving Jane is, or even what kind of music they play. And I am intrigued by the existence of a Field Mob featuring Ciara single, which I also haven't heard, at #45.
