17 14 ASHER ROTH I LOVE COLLEGE

o_0

i want 'mad' to be #1!! :(

when does his album come out? it's gonna jump into the top 10 whenever that happens

asher obv

at this point i am way less mad/anxious about "I Love College" blowing up than i am about "Day N Nite" blowing up. possibly because they don't play "College" on any stations i listen to.

i like "day n nite", at least it's not a total sellout. is it possible to sellout w/ your first single?

yeah i don't considering "selling out" a term applicable to thundercat blog rappers, it's just degrees of wackness and trend-chasing

"Day N Night" is one of the 5 best songs in the top 40.

as with charles hamilton i find the production infinitely more interesting than the rapping but cudi seems to be a waaay better rapper as well

Unlike Charles Hamilton he doesn't have a voice that makes me want to take a screwdriver to my ear. There's that, too.

haha yeah

flo-rida single that samples eiffel 65 has me str8 speechless, like truly no words

Okay, so I haven't been paying too much attention to radio or pop so far this year (which isn't too surprising for me). I'm curious to know what's come out that's worth listening to, so, could you merry popsters tell me the four or five songs that you think are a much-listen at this point in 2009? Anything blowing anyone's ears off?

keri hilson ft lil wayne - turnin me on
jamie foxx ft t pain - blame it
the-dream - rockin that thang
pink - sober
all american rejects - gives you hell

Cool, thanks. Keep the shortlists coming.

the last two are personal non-rap/r&b favorites but i can confidently say that everyone on the board who cares about such things endorses the first three songs whole heartedly

Def agree on Jordan's first three!

Also, Cunga: Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow
Electric Red - So Good
Ryan Leslie - Gibberish

Not sure if any of those are even singles, or if the first two are even released, all three are kickass.

Anyone else heard this Bite You track? (Ne-Yo, prod. Tricky Stewart)

those 3 are awesome— boom boom pow is gonna be the biggest song of the summer fwiw

it's gonna blow up so big when they put it on itunes

it's already #54 on the hot 100, wiki says it's going to to itunes on monday

Yeah, I've forced about five people to listen to it and all five have gone from "hmm BEP's?" to "holy shit, this is crazy/brilliant!"

whenever "i love college" comes on the radio (which is fairly often, in this college town that undoubtedly loves college) i feel like i'm in some sort of sitcom and i keep waiting for the laugh track but it never appears. come to think of it "i love college" has become like the punch line of my life, like today i was stressin major and i was riding home and oh wow it's asher, i mean what can i do but laugh? i think ashton is god and he is punking my life

that fuckin song ugh

cunga, i'll cosign the keri hilson (also check out "alienated", not sure if it's a single) ANY the-dream song, "gibberish" fo sho, and add kelly clarkson's two singles, esp. "my life would suck without you"
also, these 2 are from records last year, but
ne-yo - "mad"
beyonce - "halo"

i have not even heard "blame it"...im gonna youtube that asap

wow, suggest ban

keri hilson ft lil wayne - turnin me on
jamie foxx ft t pain - blame it
the-dream - rockin that thang
pink - sober
all american rejects - gives you hell

co-sign all deez, also:

jazmine sullivan - lions, tigers & bears
rich girl f/ bun b - 24s
shinedown - second chance
solange - t.o.n.y.
keyshia cole - you complete me

"Don't Forget" by Demi Lovato is pretty good, at least the clip Disney Channel has had on rotation has been pretty catchy.

the demi lovato song jordan posted in the lady gaga thread is my jam now, been meaning to check out her other singles

WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

"love and sex and magic" = the "ayo technology" of r&b

fuck "poker face" i can't wait for will.i.am to be shittin on the hot 100 with the boom boom next week

i don't actually like 'boom boom' as a song, once you get over the initial THIS IS SO WEIRD thing it really sucks.

yuck, I waded through 7 pages of retarded (n/pipecock) Flo Rida vs Lady Gaga posts to find that, then found that it had already been posted.

i think "boom boom pow" is dope and i am eagerly anticipating its domination of the summer

Thanks to Kev and Plax as well upthread for the song recommendations, will check them out.

my top 5 singles of the year so far:

chrisette michele - epiphany
electrik red - so good
jeremih - birthday sex
sophia fresh - drop it
pleasure p - boyfriend no. 2

i don't actually like 'boom boom' as a song, once you get over the initial THIS IS SO WEIRD thing it really sucks.

although i don't even think it's that weird. i mean, it sounds just like "Fergalicious," except that was weirder AND better.

yeah i'd go with that though not quite "it sucks", more "once you get over the weirdness it settles down around 6 or 7 out of 10"

Man, when did acharts.us remove the Hot 100? I've been out of the loop for a while and was looking forward to checking out what's been on the charts lately. Guess I will look through Brainwasher's posts.

"81 66 THE LONELY ISLAND F I'M ON A BOAT"

Was wondering if this might happen -- it seems like the only song that actually feels like a "real" single (as opposed to a popular internet meme).

i guess, but it's still totally iTunes-driven as a hit, not on any of Billboard's airplay-only charts. i'd love to hear it on the local rap station though.

i have not even heard "blame it"...im gonna youtube that asap

ok i hadnt ever heard it either til today, dont know how/why but its so good dayum

I'll be honest, I haven't really listened to it that much but the initial oh wow is pretty priceless

you know what's great? this new demi lovato joint: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=vbFb8B

i'm finally listening to boom boom pow... kind of unfortunate, and not that weird !

word...kind of bummed that it's already like their biggest rap radio hit ever

as opposed to waht?

i'll go to bat for "my humps" but i know that's kind of a challop. really i just meant it's funny that now all the sudden stations i listened to that barely ever played BEP are all over this song. i guess that's just because R&B radio is finally as pop as they are, though.
