February 3, 201114 yr 'Eenie Meenie' was the worst Sean Kingston song and the worst Justin Bieber song ever. This year will hopefully see them both out of the charts Justin Bieber rate: One Time >> Somebody To Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Baby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eenie Meenie Sean Kingston rate: Fire Burning >>> Beautiful Girls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eenie Meenie Pretty much how I would rate them. Except Beautiful Girls is only minorly better than Eenie Meenie imo. And I'd probably rank Baby close to Eenie Meenie too. One Time and Fire Burning are decent songs imo. Somebody to Love is okay. I hated it at first, but it grew on me a LOT after I went on holiday to the US (I guess I was just greatful to hear anything that wasn't California Gurls, Not Afraid, Airplanes, Dynamite, Love the Way You Lie, Bulletproof, Teenage Dream, Tik Tok, Cooler Than Me or Break Your Heart after a while :lol:).
February 3, 201114 yr #78 K’NAAN “Wavin’ Flag” from the album “Troubadour” [July 2010] 16-16-3-2-2-5-13-16-26-39-43-55-69-97-x WTJSt4wP2ME ~ 1,012 points // 14 weeks // #2 peak ~ This was the highest selling of the batch of football songs that charted at the time of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. This could be put down to the artist in question, Somali-born Canadian-based singer and rapper K’naan (real name Keinan Warsame) being born in the continent the cup was held in for the first time, or it could also be put down to the fact it’s actually an extremely good song, rare for a football anthem. Although that in itself can be put down to the fact the song originally had nothing to do with football. The song actually existed in 2009 and was already a big hit on the Canadian Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #2, before anyone else in the world gave a crap about it. The football related lyrics in the version release here and in the video above are only there because the version released worldwide is the Coca-Cola Celebration Mix of the track which has additional lyrics. A third version of the song exists which features Black Eyed Pea will.i.am and Frenchman David Guetta. Two versions of this song by other artists made the UK top 200 during 2010 as well - one ominously credited to ‘Various Artists’ charted at #89 in the height of football song hype and one by Young Artists For Haiti made #104. Oh, I forgot to mention, this was Canada’s chosen song for the Haiti Relief fund. The charity version made #1 on the Canadian Billboard Hot 100 so this song was already a top 2 hit twice in Canada before anyone else in the world gave a crap about it. They’re ahead of the times over in Canada. K’naan actually made his UK chart début 2 weeks before the release of Wavin’ Flag, oddly in collaboration with Keane who released Stop For A Minute as the lead and only single from their ‘album’ (8 track EP to be technical) Night Train. This song got to #40. The hype cloud around this song caused another K’naan song called Bang Bang (feat. Adam Levine) to briefly chart in the iTunes top 100 but it never charted officially, nor did the album Troubadour. Still one more football song to come on this countdown. Gooddelta will be pleased. There is also a Spanish-English version featuring Spanish singer David Bisbal. (Maybe foreseeing the World Cup outcome!)
February 14, 201114 yr Author #74 MIKE POSNER “Cooler Than Me” from the album “31 Minutes To Takeoff” [October 2010] 98-22-9-6-5-7-6-13-13-16-22-28-23- 7S_H1KDjW9Y ~ 1,045 points // 13 weeks // #5 peak ~ The latest single released from ‘some guy’ was this terrible song, Cooler Than Me by US singer Mike Posner (formally Michael Posner). This song was pretty big in the USA, peaking at #6, but took ages to cross over to the UK. When it eventually did cross over here it was somehow bigger here, peaking a place higher. His début album 31 Minutes To Takeoff was actually released digitally here several weeks before this first charted. It seemed a bit strange that this couldn’t even make the top 200 based on US hype alone. Eventually what caused it to take off (no pun intended) was a barely recognizable performance of it on the Judges’ Houses stage of the X Factor by later fourth placed Cher Lloyd. She basically cried through the whole thing, so it’s surprising anyone could figure out what the song was. Maybe she was crying because this song is so goddamn awful. Thankfully we haven’t seen much of ol’ Posner since this song, although his follow-up single Please Don’t Go made #16 in Posner’s native USA and the parent album made #8. He’s also released a single featuring the USA’s favourite rapper, Lil Wayne, entitled Bow Chicka Wow Wow (oh dear). New scheduled end date is 30th April. I don't want this to run into May.
February 14, 201114 yr I love Cher Lloyd. :wub: You can tell she's truly passionate about music. It's not just "singing songs" for her. It's much more than that. Just how she performed Turn My Swag On in her first audition. It was just "wow", and the song choice aswell. She knows what music is! :D And she has the lyrics from Empire State of Mind tattooed on her apparently! :o Anyway, onto the actually song, I don't like it anymore. I first heard it when I went on holiday to the US. It was everywhere, and it was bearable at the time. Then Cher popularized it in the UK (although it would've got popular anyway, as some radio stations had playlisted it shortly before she "sang" it on TV :lol:), and it got VERY popular, and now I'm just like "Will it EVER go away?" It's still in the top 10 on airplay, and it's simply not that good, imo. :(
February 14, 201114 yr Author how is all night long soooooooooo far down ;/ ,, i dont get it ANL is still to come :P
February 15, 201114 yr Author Due to the BRITs there'll be no update today I promise I'll do 2 tomorrow :P I really don't want this to run into May
February 16, 201114 yr Author #73 TINIE TEMPAH FEAT. ERIC TURNER “Written In The Stars” from the album “Disc-Overy” [October 2010] 1-3-5-8-10-15-21-26-23-35-39-44-35- YgFyi74DVjc ~ 1,048 points // 13 weeks // #1 ~ The culmination of an absolutely massive year for Patrick Okogwu came with this, his second #1 single Written In The Stars featuring unknown Eric Turner on the chorus. It came after Frisky (feat. Labrinth) was cruelly denied as his 2nd #1 by Shout For England’s Shout (feat. Dizzee Rascal and James Corden). Its first week sales were nothing short of outstanding for an artist who was a total unknown less than a year earlier, with the track selling 115,073 copies in its first week. It had been receiving airplay for over two months before, which could have lost it a decent amount of sales through illegal downloading - who knows how much this could have sold in week 1 if released a couple of weeks earlier? Although it had a much more instant start, the law of diminishing returns reared its head here again and this has had nowhere near the sales, longevity or cultural impact as Tinie’s signature hit Pass Out, although it may work out the other way around if Tinie ever properly breaks the USA. Aided by use on the WWE Written In The Stars has so far made #17 on the Bubbling Under Billboard Hot 100, a huge achievement for a British rapper, especially as a lead artist. This song came 91st in the Top 100 Downloads of All Time. Meh, whatever, it'll run into May. I aim to definitely have this finished by 2012! Edited February 16, 201114 yr by Bray
February 16, 201114 yr Written in the Stars is AMAZING!!!! :wub: The hook is so epic, and the verses are so panicky. :D
February 17, 201114 yr Author #72 TIMBALAND FEAT. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE “Carry Out” from the album “Shock Value II” [March 2010] 97-29-16-6-8-8-8-13-21-30-37-43-55-65-69-84-94-x(1)-87-99-x NRdHsuuXxfk ~ 1,050 points // 19 weeks // #6 peak ~ Of all the metaphors you could use for sex, comparing the process to ordering a take-away is among the least attractive, especially when it’s primarily coming out of someone who’s hardly underweight. Nonetheless, Timbaland decided to go ahead and write a song about that very comparison as the third single from the album Shock Value II, bringing serial collaborator Justin Timberlake along for the ride (the only appearance in the top 200 for the US singer, who has still yet to release his third solo album after 5 years but has somehow remained in the public eye through features). Carry Out concluded an era which proved Timbaland was still somehow relevant in the music industry at least as far as singles are concerned, it becoming the third top 10 hit off Shock Value II. Whether the interest will still be there for his next album is yet to be seen. Carry Out was also by far the biggest song from the album over in the USA, probably due mainly to Justin Timberlake, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 (compared to just #61 for Morning After Dark (feat. Nelly Furtado and SoShy), #37 for If We Ever Meet Again (feat. Katy Perry) and #23 for Say Something (feat. Drake) which was never released as a UK single but put out in the USA due to them being at the time at the peak of ‘Drakemania’ if you will).
February 17, 201114 yr I love Justin Timberlake's singing. :wub: Just like how "smooth" it is. It works really well in songs like Carry Out, What Goes Around...Comes Around, Ayo Technology, etc.
February 17, 201114 yr Carry Out was a dreadful song :puke: I didn't like it at first. It just seemed like a load of weird percussion at first, but I grew to love it over time. :wub: Although I do sometimes find myself impatiently waiting for that chorus. :D
February 18, 201114 yr Author #71 ROLL DEEP FEAT. JODIE CONNOR “Good Times” from the album “Winner Stays On” [May 2010] 1-1-1-3-9-14-30-37-41-46-57-52-56-68-65-83-80-99-x dEGnYyKib9E ~ 1,075 points // 18 weeks // #1 peak ~ The highest entry on this chart that could be classified as a ‘non #1’ is this, Good Times by Roll Deep featuring then unknown British singer and Pop Idol non-graduate Jodie Connor. She’s still pretty unknown now but has since managed a #14 hit in her own right with Now Or Never (feat. Wiley, a member of Roll Deep as it happens). If you’re wondering how it could possibly be construed as a ‘non #1’ when it was one of just two songs to spend three weeks of 2010 at #1 (the other being Owl City’s Fireflies which is much further up this list) it really needs to be put into context. Its third week at the top spot and also to a lesser extent its second saw it get to the top on sales well below the 2010 average for a #1 single and it only really stayed #1 because of the complete lack of any competition. In fact, its third week at the top spot marked the lowest weekly sales for a #1 in 2010, with just 48,593, almost beaten 3 weeks later by David Guetta and Chris Willis’ Gettin’ Over You (feat. Fergie and LMFAO) which sold 48,827, although this was in its first week at #1 so perhaps that should be named the ‘low selling #1 of the year’, though it had a fairly decent chart run. The highest new entry on Good Times’ third week was at just #4 - Edward Maya’s Stereo Love (feat. Vika Jigulina), this song also much higher up on the countdown. The whole ‘default #1’ thing was pretty much confirmed after how quickly it plummetted down to the chart after its run at #1. Oh and one minor detail I forgot to mention, this missed the official end of year top 40. Despite being a three week #1 in a year otherwise almost totally starved of them. Yeah. Edited February 18, 201114 yr by Bray
February 18, 201114 yr #71 . Oh and one minor detail I forgot to mention, this missed the official end of year top 40. Despite being a three week #1 in a year otherwise almost totally starved of them. Yeah. That can't have happened too often
February 18, 201114 yr It's weird that some of the best #1s are the ones that spent least long in the chart! :D Good Times is absolutely fantastic. It seemed much bigger in real life than the charts suggested. It was the Friday afternoon anthem at school for quite a while. :lol:
