Billboard Hot 100 10/2

Even if you don’t listen to a radio, there’s still a chance you’re familiar with popular American songs, you may hear them at parties, sporting events, maybe even the grocery store. So, I’ve decided I will not rate the number song for the Billboard Hot 100 because as a reader you probably already know the song and have an opinion about. I will however, write my say about the Top Ten and listen to the new songs and give you a rating. It’s all about helping my fellow listeners.

I would like to take the time now to officially say that I do not like country (Taylor Swift does not count a country artist). To be fair, I will not rate country songs. I will mention them if they debuted this week, but that’s all I write about them.

The charts for October 2 have been posted my friends and “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars has hit number #1. I wonder if Mr. Mars recent run-in with the law has anything do with this? You know the saying, any publicity is good publicity. My favorite song in the Top Ten is “Only Girl” by Rhianna. Rhi Rhi says everything a girl wishes she could say, but doesn’t because she doesn’t want to seem demanding.

#37 “Radioactive” by Kings of Leon is what I like to call easy listening. Upon the first time hearing it I liked it, but the lyrics lulled me into a daze and I zoned out.  CRUISE IT

#74 “Can’t Be Friends” by Trey Songz is a whole lot of “soulful” wining. WAAAA. Only Usher does that well Mr. Songz. SKIP IT

#82 “Put You In A Song” by Keith Urban

#83 “We No Speak Americano” by Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup STARTED IT’S MUSCIAL CHART LIFE ON THE UK POP CHARTS BEFORE IT CROSSED THE POND TO THE BILLBOARD CHARTS! This is why I blog party people. This song has a great beat, and Europeans love it. It’s on the music charts in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and Czech Republic, need I go on? I fell in love right away, but my friends were skeptics until they heard it at the bar. So We No Speak Americano earns REPEAT IT and CRANK IT and BOOZE IT (all at the same time if you prefer)

#91 “All I Want Is You” by Miguel featuring J. Cole has a smooth beat.  I’m not sure if this song will take off and skyrocket at any point, but I give it a solid CRUISE IT.

#94 “Turn On The Radio by Reba

#96 “ Waiting For The End” by Linkin Park has atypical sound from Linkin Park’s previous songs, but I still like it. The unexpectedness is refreshing.  When I listened to the live version the beginning sounded a bit more like what I would expect, nonetheless, the song is great. Welcome back Linkin Park, your fans (my housemate Cristina) missed you. CRUISE IT

#97 “Smoke A Little Smoke” by Eric Church

#100 “Black And Yellow” Wiz Khalife is a song I foresee rising  to at least Top Fifty. The song is fly, easy to sing (“Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow,” is half of the chorus). I definitely think you’re going to hear this on college campuses. CRANK IT and BOOZE IT.
