You have let the most annoying piece of c**p EVER get to your number one spot for not one week, not two weeks, not three weeks, YOU GET THE PICTURE. Its terrible didnt even deserve top 200 -_- :puke:

it's a fabulous single and a great album... I'd look at your own charts - they stink to high heaven - bland, faceless, nameless r'n'b, offensive, dull rap and laughable country and western - just hideous.

 

It's a hit all over the world, anyway - seems once again the Americans are last to catch up on a music trend.... (despite half of Gnarles Barkley actually being American) :rolleyes:

It used to be an amazing song. Now its overplayed and c**p!

 

I was on the phone to my boyfriend yesterday when it came on the box. I started singing "I remember when. I remember I remember when this song was good" :lol:

I can't stand it personally. -_-

I actually hate rap and some country, just because i dont like gnarls barley be quick to judge, eh? :rolleyes:

Some people(or rather a lot of people in this case) like stuff you dont. Fact.

Personally I think its a far better song than the garbage that IS a lot of todays R&b.

It has a nice chord structure (Am C F E), and is slightly unusual, yet familiar in parts, that is one key to having a successfull song, mixing familiarity with inovation.

I could deconstruct the song further and explain why its so popular, but you'd still hate it, fair enough, but a lot of people dont.

If you read the post correctly, you are not being judged....the US chart is being judged in the same way you judged our chart. Up until this year the US chart was the worst in the world, dominated by paint-by-numbers Hip-Hop and Pop Idol winners. It has dragged itself out of the mire a little thanks to the effect of downloads but Gnarls Barkleys is a hundred times better than a lot of your No.1s (Check It Out, So Sick, Run It to name just 3....)

 

That said, Gnarls Barkley is probably No.1 by default at the moment purely because there is nothing coming out that is good enough for No.1. I'd rather see them at No.1 for the 8th week selling 40,000 than another Orson (great song, but abysmal sales).

Are they not both American? :huh:

I agree with Brutarn...please take Orson back, and Maroon 5. In return we'll take James Blunt back..deal?

You can also take Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Neyo :cheer:

Are they not both American? :huh:

They are, yes.

I think it's great that we have a no1 by a guy who can actually sing as oppose to to the usual american c**p at no1 with lyrics to barf to by acts who talk instead of sing, that's why he's so popular.

They are, yes.

 

they both are, yes, sorry 'bout that. One of them's DangerMouse, the guy who produced the latest Gorillaz stuff - good enough for me.

The other is Cee-Lo, who wrote the Pussycat Dolls - Dont Cha!

It's better than all that urban stuff that tends to dominate the charts in recent years.

 

It reminds me of how good R&B used to be.

I've been saying this sort of thing for ages

And 50 Cent

Which knocked Gorillaz off the top spot!

well, we can forgive him Pussycat Dolls...

 

the funny thing with Gnarles Barkley is.... now the song's been a hit all over the world... you watch in about 6 months, it'll finally become a hit in the US. Why are they so far behind the rest of the world musically?

I believe it's just entered their top 100, so I give it a few weeks before it gets into their top 10...
