normally when i do get to the big city i gorge myself on the top 40 and urban (can't remember the right billboard term for the station), but this last time the car i was borrowing had sirius and i flipped around on that. theres like 8 hip-hop stations w/no commercials and a lot of them play pretty good shit except the djs are really terrible and like to talk over the songs even while people are rapping.

Both songs are all right. I really like the way the beat in "Sexy Love" has that drum-corps cadence that's been popular lately but really toned down and in the service of a slow jam. And "When You're Mad" has this one chord that kills me every time I hear it -- I think Ne-Yo in general takes cues from old-school R&B in song structure and chord progressions, which is nice to hear.
― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 18 August 2006 17:53 (eighteen years ago) link
Exactly, where else do you hear anything that reminds of 1991 house music on your standard hip-hop/r and b station any more. I'll take it any day.
And yes, the drums and the bass of "Sexy Love," along with the MJ vocals, are perfection.

I'm guessing that by "new spins" they mean spins on stations that weren't playing the song previously.
I'm kinda meh on the Evanescence single; I like the lyrics, but it has neither the punch nor the beauty of "Bring Me to Life." It's good enough, but I think Flyleaf's "I'm So Sick" is this year's standard for the subgenre (whatever the subgenre is: angst-metal gothpop?).

I would also add that the video for CMWYS is such a piss-weak rip-off of 'Helena' that it does make me feel slightly sad. That horrible smirk Amy Lee has on her face as she's going down the staircase... urrgh.

Now, doing a different chart, "Spincrease," on the rhythm charts "Vans" gained 182 plays more than it had before, and is being played on 67 stations; and in mainstream top 40 it gained 141 plays and is being played on 34 stations.
JoJo's "Too Little Too Late" is up by 1,005 spins and is being played on 106 mainstream top 40 stations; and it's up by 181 plays and is being played on 25 rhythmic stations.

That, however, is for another thread entirely, I would imagine, so to go scrambling back on topic - P Diddy ft. Nicole Scherzinger's "I Couldn't Give Two Shits What This Is Called, Honestly" is #50 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop. TS: Scherzinger's "This Bad Boy, bitch" vs. Hogan's "You're all up in my grill".

Blount, the Fergie song is pretty good. Not quite "My Humps" (and if you hate "My Humps" and/or fun, take that with a grain of salt). The production sounds kinda halfway inbetween early 90's jazz-rap (I hate that term, but it conveys what I mean well) and "Hollaback Girl". Her vocals are copped straight from Missy. Couple great lines here and there. Only part that doesn't work is the bridge, which seems really shoehorned. Worth downloading.
By "Fallen", do you mean the Mya song? If so, I find it incredibly bland. (Along with most everything else Mya's done. I just find Mya bland.)

I haven't seen Gnarls' "Smiley Faces" on any charts yet; is it not out yet? I'll be really sad if that doesn't chart at all.
Lastly, "London Bridge" is the only hip-hop song I can think of that repeats an entire verse. Yet another accomplishment for "Ferg y Ferg" (nice one, WBS).

"Chain Hang Low" is funny and allright.
"When You're Mad" was a great song.
I have one Mya album, the name of it escapes me but its pretty great, only a couple bad songs. It has a great song that samples "Out of my Head" by shuggie otis.

Nickelback's "Canadians Have Feelings Too, Y'know" climbs to 11 from 23. Chingy is up to 16, and Danity Kane are new at 17 despite apparently not getting any radio play worth a stuff. "I Am Aware That You Are Seeing It" climbs three to debut in the top 20 at #19.
Evanescence are brand new at #25, just ahead of The Fabulous Bangor Boys. SexyBaaaack sets about making itself cosy at #31, just ahead of Jibbs, and Hinder clamber to #34 from #49 last week. In similarly tedious manner, Blue October go from 47 to 40. 'About Us' may not be the world beater I had been assuming, slumping to 44 from 33, and Chris Brown's 'Say Goodbye' climbs to 48 from 79.

I'm really astonished at how far ahead of the pack the country station is. The second-place station, described here as Top 40/R (R for rhythmic), is hip-hop/r&b. Also surprised at how poorly the reggaeton station (KMGG) is doing in relation to the Regional Mexican, and how well Triple-A is doing.

So, either young people are going to pot or Disney has its head up its butt promoting in-house product to the neglect of actual good music.
*"Chemicals React" probably qualifies as "reasonably good" and hence is our one and only exception, but it's still not nearly as heart-meltingly beautiful or intense as "Rush," so I have difficulty remembering that it's any good at all.

My guess is that "Too Little Too Late" gets spins in the 30s like "L.O.V.E." rather than in the 70s like "S.O.S." but you can't tell. I hope it burns up the request lines. Teach Disney a lesson.
