koganbotT.I. still number one, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlboymusic will be vindicated to read that the song still hasn't registered in my memory despite my writing it up last week*; M.I.A. still at number five, still hasn't lost her bullet or her bang bang bang bang; only two new tracks in the Top 40; and Jennifer Hudson and Jazmine Sullivan still under the border, not able to break in, which will drive Lex nuts in frustration.
Artists Stand Up To Cancer "Just Stand Up!" which already stood up four days ago in Britain and I haven't had any new insights since then. Carrie Underwood is out of place and weak, Miley out of place and distinctive, Fergie the only one who carries emotion, none of the singers here really at fault, just can't propel a lame song. NO TICK.
Lil Wayne f. Bobby Valentino "Mrs. Officer": I like the beats of hollowed-out cardboard and Bobby's "wee-oh-wee-oh-wee," but not much else. Bobby tries and fails to recreate the shimmering emotion of the classic black harmony groups, while Wayne's concept is that a woman in uniform desires sex. Blah. NO TICK.
*Two weeks ago, actually. How time flies when nothing's happening.
