Duffy is probably the best example of this. 2008 belonged to her but she never saw any kind of success outside of those 12 months. I have an awful feeling 2014 will turn out to be this for a number of artists; George Ezra being the main one.

12/02/2011 Jessie J feat B.O.B Price Tag http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/52/Price_tag_cover.png/220px-Price_tag_cover.png I said in my review of 'Do It Like a Dude' that Jessie J wouldn't become a particularly hated artist of mine until later in her career, and it's true, and for most of 2011 I actually quite liked her. I wouldn't have called myself a fan of hers or anything, but I quite liked a lot of her stuff this year, and wouldn't have an issue with her whatsoever had she stuck to a more honest and personal method of song writing but that's an issue for another day. After the damage that its predecessor did to my impression of Jessie J, her next single would've had to be seriously good to have turned around my opinion of her in some way, and low and behold, it was and did 'Price Tag' remains the tightest and most well-rounded record that Jessie J has ever done. I like it's stance and at a period in time when most were struggling for money, hearing an anthem about decrying capitalism, over spending and the overall significance put on one's financial situation was a welcome change because popular music does have that sense of disillusionment with it sometimes. As much as I jammed to 'Billionaire' back in the summer of 2010, it leaves me a little cold nowadays when I go back and listen to it, because it just seems crass and completely out of the loop for its audience. Maybe they intended it as escapism, I don't know, but I do know that in the middle of a pretty bad recession, the last thing I want to hear is a millionaire saying how much he wishes he was a billionaire. I don't even wish I was a millionaire, I just need a tidy 200K to sort me and my family out Anyway, songs like that just made me appreciate 'Price Tag' even more and on top of its theme it's just a very nice sounding pop record. Jessie J's voice is sweet and not pushed to eleven as it is done on most of her songs nowadays, B.O.B slots in quite nicely and the whole thing is rather joyful. I'm still bitter I had to pay for it however. qMxX-QOV9tI

05/02/2011 Chris Brown Yeah 3x http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8d/Chrisbrownyeah3x.png/220px-Chrisbrownyeah3x.png Chris Brown is one of my least favourite people on Earth. Ever. I'm not kidding. I just don't like the guy, away from the fact that he's somehow managed to get away with straight up domestic violence and retain a career, I also happen to think he's not a particularly talented performer either. Sure, he can dance but his voice is weak and it doesn't help that his songs are pretty much always awful. I have friends who think I'm too hard on Chris Brown because the whole Rihanna incident happened six years ago, he's moved on, she's moved on, why can't I? I'm not an unforgiving person and whilst I do believe in second chances, I've never thought that they should just be doled out to bad people without question. The very essence of a second chance means somebody has f***** up so badly that they have broken whatever trust you had in them, I believe such people can and should be allowed a second chance, but only after they've earned them. There's no point in giving someone a second chance when they've done nothing to prove that they deserve one and won't do whatever they did in the first place again. I haven't seen such behaviour from Chris Brown that I believes warrants him a second chance in my eyes. He's never made a public apology about what he did (I'll get to why the fact it has to be public in a bit) but not only that, he's continued to be a general twit and got himself sent to prison. He's not learnt his lesson because we've not aptly punished him. The wider hip-hop community with the exception of a few have forgiven him and welcomed him back, which, if he's apologized in person or whatever, I guess is fair enough. Now, about that public apology. It's been a point of contention amongst me and a few of my friends who feel that it is Chris Brown and Rihanna's private business. I agree, however I'm also aware of how the media works, and Chris Brown's position makes him a role model, whether he likes that or not. People, especially a demographic of young men, look up to him and whilst Chris Brown continues to run around unpunished for what he did, and has never himself publicly acknowledged it, what kind of message is that sending out to impressionable youths? It doesn't make for a good public image either, he'll never be able to move past the stigma of what he did without one. Now, I reckon a few reading this have thought 'why are you talking about this? get to the song'. I can't. Chris Brown's attack on Rihanna remains the single most known thing he's ever done, because his music is terrible and forgettable, and as it's gone unpunished and continues to do so, it's impossible for me to separate artist from person. It doesn't help that whilst he's never directly addressed what he did, he's made references to it in his own music, but it's never about regret or sorrow. It's always about how he is now. If you want a prime example, go to the hideous 'Look At Me Now' that thankfully flopped in the UK but went top ten in America. That song is full of Chris Brown talking about his own comeback and resurgence, which I wouldn't begrudge him, had he ever acknowledged just why he needed a comeback and re-brand in the first place. 'Yeah 3x' is a nothing of a song. It's bright and poppy and I don't think it's an unfair assumption to say that it was strategically used to re-brand Brown as someone who wasn't dangerous. I'd maybe even liked it in the hands of a different singer. Maybe it worked. The most annoying thing about this whole affair is that post-attack Chris Brown has a had a lot more success than pre-attack Chris Brown. I don't doubt that some of you are weary of me taking what may be perceived as a high horse hear but I'm tired of mincing my words when it comes to this a-hole. Until he steps up, takes responsibility for what he did and genuinely apologizes, I'm never going to be able to give him that second chance he and a lot of his fans seem to think he's automatically entitled too. James out. (Note: For the sake of these reviews I will attempt in the future to just look at the music. I just needed to get this out of the way as some form of disclaimer) 3mC2ixOAivA

05/02/2011 Chase & Status feat Liam Bailey Blind Faith http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/36/BlindFaithSingleCover.jpg/220px-BlindFaithSingleCover.jpg This is a song that I always want to like more than I actually do, and for the main reason being that I totally adore the music video. It's not a perfect video for any means but I do appreciate its efforts to visualise and accurately represent the Northern clubbing/party lifestyle. I wasn't doing much of that back in early 2011 (give it a year) mainly because I was 15 and still looked about 9, but I can at least now look at this and smile fondly because I recognize so much of what goes on. Not that I was ever particularly involved in the 'laddish' culture that this video puts across. The unfortunate thing is that out of every song covered so far in 2011, this is the one I genuinely can find very little to say about, its utterly unremarkable. It has a good beat I guess and parts of it sound like some sort of lost 1990s club banger but that's pretty much everything I can muster about this. zYpDJw7fThU

About two weeks from when I first had the idea. It would've taken longer had I not realized that I didn't need to look at every single chart when there were singles by female artists at number ones (i.e. when Whitney was number one for ten weeks, I didn't need to look at those ten charts, because I knew what would have been number one on this chart)

I did notice that really up until the late 1990's there were only a few big hit singles by female artists a year, hence the longer runners of the 80's/early 90's. There were weeks in the early 80's where I was having to scroll into the #41-75 zone to find the number one for that week. However, since around 1997, I noticed there were at least two or three singles by female solo artists in the Top 40 weekly.

As did Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" Madonna's "Crazy For You" also had an 11 week run with 6 weeks in 1985 and 5 weeks in 1991. "My Heart Will Go On" was number one for 10 non-consecutive weeks also

You have no idea how frustrated I was when upon completing the list I realized that.

Haha oops I just assumed as they were female names Changed amended to first post

Yeah, 'She Wants You' was #2 when it entered.

Similarly, I'm pretty sure all of Martine McCutcheon's singles are on this list too

Only the one criteria for inclusion here; the track must be performed solo. So no songs featuring rappers or duets with other female artists have been included.

I have to say, early 2008 is actually proving to be pretty bloody good :o

05/02/2011 Ke$ha We R Who We R http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7a/Keha-We-R-Who-We-R-Official-Single-Cover.jpg/220px-Keha-We-R-Who-We-R-Official-Single-Cover.jpg What a profound statement. Anyway, I won't lie, this record makes me feel kind of the same way that 'Like U Like' did, I know that on hearing, it's not a particularly good song but I've always jammed happily along to it. However, I never liked 'Like U Like' because of how bad and lazy it was, I liked it because it just sounded good to me for some reason, whereas I adore 'We R Who We R' because of how terrible it is. Ke$ha sounds like a robot, the beat is ugly, repetitive and just drones on and on and the lyrics are about as clichéd as Howard from The Big Bang Theory. But I love it because it just has so many inane and stupid moments after each other, and every time it does, I just fall in love more and more. Say what you want to about Ke$ha, but she knows how to have a good time, and this is a very joyful record. It's empty and inane lyrics, I feel, are deliberate. I don't particularly see this as a hard core 'yeah let's party' kind of song. I see it as more of a coming down very quickly, about to pass out but want to continue partying hard kind of song. The songs lyrics do sound like something you'd hear drunk people say to one another on the way home from a night out; "we are who we are" is about as drunk girl trying to be profound as you can get. In that way, this is an honest record. It's about that point in the night where your body is pretty much just running on adrenaline, you're probably not having much fun anymore but you haven't really realized, and you're becoming aware of how absolutely gone you are so decide to try and act as intelligent and profound as you can. Because that will prove your sober. I like that we have a song about the point in the night where everything just gets a little messy. That's how I read it anyway. mXvmSaE0JXA

29/01/2011 Aggro Santos feat Kimberley Walsh Like U Like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/98/Aggro-santos-like-u-like-official-single-cover.jpg/220px-Aggro-santos-like-u-like-official-single-cover.jpg You know, it's very convenient that this and 'Traktor' both entered the Top Ten on the same week. For all the negative stuff I had to say about Wretch 32, I'll say at the very least that he is a serious rapper. He puts effort into his songs, they at least try and strive to be something remotely credible and creative (they mostly fail but whatever) whereas the exact opposite is true of Aggro Santos; or 'Argos Santa' as a friend of mine called him at the time which I found pretty funny. His songs, that I know of, are some of the laziest songs I've ever heard and for any defences that may crop up. No. No, they are not good songs by any stretch of the imagination 'Like U Like' is a terrible, lazy song but for whatever reason, for whatever damn godforsaken reason, I like it. Yes, it's terrible and I can very easily outline everything I dislike about it but for whatever reason I just can't get enough of it. I don't know...it's like the musical equivalent of eating processed ravioli from a tin. You know it's bad for you, you know it's going to cause you absolutely no good in the future and it makes you feel dirty but by god, you just can't get enough of it. I don't even know what it is about this song that makes me like it so much; Kimberley Walsh being home to the weakest voice in Girl's Aloud, Aggro Santos sounds like he's in a rush to leave, but for whatever reason, I will play this. Fairly often. Good lord. vaY6wX7dXFE

Reviews will continue Thursday, busy tomorrow. Sorry if you were really looking forward to Aggro Santos/Kimberley Walsh

Oh god, I'm already enjoying 2008 more than I thought I would! This was a great time in my life so all of these songs hold a special place. Not keen on the Britney track, and I can take or leave Basshunter (though I was obsessed at the time).

2008 wasn't that good of a year for music I recall, but I know there'll be a few surprises a long the way that I've likely forgotten.

29/01/2011 Britney Spears Hold It Against Me http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e3/Britney_Spears_-_Hold_It_Against_Me.png/220px-Britney_Spears_-_Hold_It_Against_Me.png It's Britney! Bitch. Being a mid-90s baby means one thing; you grew up with Britney Spears and I happen to think that that is a universial statement. Even if your music taste has gone in completely the opposite direction; it still stands that Britney was probably one of the first experiences you had with popular music. I don't even remember 'Baby One More Time' from the time it was released but it's a well-told family story that I loved the song, even then, and Britney has always been a presence in our lives; whether you liked her music, or whether you found passive amusement at her 2007 meltdown, she's always been there in the background. But, as you do with most childhood things, you leave them behind eventually as your grew up and by early 2011, I didn't know many people who were too fussed about new Britney Spears music (myself included). That doesn't mean we didn't all look up in curioisty that day in the school canteen when the 'Hold It Against Me' music video came on TV, but yeah, I don't think there were many amongst my peers who were all that bothered that Britney had returned. So, what does this trip down nostalgia lane have to do with my reviewing of a fairly recent Britney track? Well, here's the thing, I love Britney (well, within the realms of 1998-2004) but I'll be the first person to admit that she's not exactly the most dynamic or...dare I say it....talented performer. She was, in essence, a bubbly blonde here to day gone tomorrow pop star but she stuck around and was still getting top ten hits up to fifteen years after her debut. But why? Blonde popstars don't tend to have particularly long shelf lives so why did was Britney still getting hits as late as 2011? Nostalgia. I think it's fair to say that back in 98-01 Britney's output in terms of pop music was a lot stronger than that of her peers; she blew away competition from the likes of Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore and even Christina Aguilera to an extent. Britney's earlier songs are still held in high regard by many whom have otherwise left her behind. I have friends who loved her as a kid but now listen to Metallica or whatever but will still happily bop along to 'Baby One More Time' or 'Oops! I Did It Again' if they come on. "Hold It Against Me" doesn't really hold a candle to much she did between 1998-2004 but it's still a pretty solid pop song. Good hook and a killer chorus can get you very far, and I don't think that examples any clearer in any performer more than Britney Spears. -Edv8Onsrgg

29/01/2011 Wretch 32 feat LV Traktor http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e2/Wretch32_Traktor.jpg/220px-Wretch32_Traktor.jpg I will always maintain that American rap at its worst is a lot worse than British rap at its worst (when it's at its best, the same applies, the Brits just cannot keep up there). Wretch 32, of all the 2010's newbies so far, remains one of my least favourites of the new crop with his barely listenable tracks as well as just...ugly sounding beats and the fact that I just don't find him to be a very good rapper at all. I can barely understand what he's saying here, and it's down to L to salvage whatever he can, and his verses just about manage to save 'Traktor' from being an absolute mess though they themselves are by no means fantastic. That all said, I don't hate this record quite as much now as I did back in 2011 when I just considered it to be nonsense and about nothing. Four years on and I can see it's about something but it's just unfortunate that the things it's about is both a) incredibly common, b) overdone and c) not good enough to stand out against the myriad of tracks which are just the same. Yes, 'Traktor' is a song about how awesome Wretch 32 finds himself to be - his 'The Real Slim Shady' or 'Jesus Walks' if you will - but my god, it just blows. First of all, he's too quiet. He doesn't even sound assured in his own grand statements of awesomeness and second, 'like a tractor' really? You're going to compare yourself to a tractor. Kanye West compared himself to a deity, and yeah he took some shit for it, but he's still here now whereas Wretch 32 has pretty much vanished from the face of the year. Or maybe he's driving his tractor around a field in Shropshire.....
