Year In America August 28, 2008

poptimists has evidently GONE ON STRIKE against the British charts (fwiw I go Biffy borderline NONTICK, the Automatic less borderline NONTICK, Gabriella Cilmi borderline TICK, Alphabeat remix MEGATICK, Metallica deep snoring NONTICK, J Majik further even into the stupor NONTICK), but America rolls on! T.I. jumps to number one, Kardinal Offishall makes his first journey into the top five, Pink leaps top ten in one week rather than taking the usual six months, M.I.A. holds at six while keeping her bullet, David Archuleta's "Crush" crashes from two to fifteen, Jazmine bubbles under.
