Another Holiday In America

koganbotThis week's Top 40 newbies feature Taylor Swift twice, once on John Mayer's "Half Of My Heart" ("Haven't heard it," said Tom half-heartedly)(nor did Frank) and once on Boys Like Girls' "Two Is Better Than One" (I've heard it once and pronounced it whiny emo-pop, far inferior to Taylor's brilliant, whiny princess pop, but will require myself to give it a second chance). Only other newcomer is Leona Lewis's "Happy," which didn't make me happy a couple weeks ago over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
poptimists but it too will get another shot, when the next Billboard comes out and I'm on a computer where I can hear music.
In other chart news, Glee Cast do several things that don't hit the Top 40, Chris Brown's "Crawl" doesn't crawl up the charts (and won't crawl anywhere near my eardrums in the near future if I can help it*), and Sounds Of The Season: A Taylor Swift Holiday Collection from 2008 re-enters the album chart at #20.
*No, I don't have a policy of never again listening to Chris Brown, but I inadvertently saw the lyrics to "Crawl" including the following consecutive stanzas and my jaw dropped, aghast:
Why did I change the pace
Hearts were never meant to race
Always felt the need for space
And now I can't reach your face
So where are you standing now
Are you in the crowd of my voice
Love can't you see my hand
Lend me one more chance
We can still have it all
Talk about clueless. Utterly clueless. "I can't reach your face." "Can't you see my hand." Beyond the galaxy of clueless into a whole other universe of cluelessness.
