Sep. 25th, 2008 07:24 pmT.I. rises back to 1, Kanye enters at 3, Archuleta gets a second wind, M.I.A. hangs onto her bullet, and Jennifer Hudson sits at 41, still unable to kick the door in. So, really, is anything new? Barely.
Kanye West "Love Lockdown": As Lex says, not nearly as mesmerizing as when Kanye did it live at the VMAs. But the melody itself is mesmerizing, a chant from where the Appalachians reach down and hold hands with the Delta. TICK.
The Rock Heroes "All Summer Long": So with Kid Rock still refusing to sell this song digitally, another cover of it sneaks into the charts. But I can't find it streamed anywhere, and am damned if I'm gonna spend money just 'cause I'm a tad curious. N/A.
