Billboard Charts 10/23

Sorry for the lull in music analysis, a trip to our country’s northern neighbor threw me off. But how about (aboot) some new music EH?

#8 “Speak Now” by Taylor Swift is the typical story song that have made Taylor Swift successful. Girl and boy love each other, but aren’t together. Another girl is involved, but she’s all wrong for him and then she sings the chorus from his point of view and they live happily ever after.  Even though all of her songs are essentially the same animal with a different head this song is slightly different from the rest because it doesn’t sound as country, but girlfriend should not be breaking up weddings. CRY IT

#12 “Runaway” by Kanye West Featuring Pusha T should not be on the charts. The title of this song tells you exactly what to do if you hear it playing, so at least they were thinking of their listeners. SKIP IT

#36 “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by the Glee Cast is so beautiful. Makes me tear up every time I listen. Sniffle. CRY IT

#37 “One Of Us” by the Glee Cast is not one of my favorites from the show, but I gotta give it for them.  LIGHT A CANDLE TO IT

#51 “Only The Good Die Young” by the Glee Cast is awesome. Really, the song could not have gotten better, but they always manage to do it. LOVE IT

#51 “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk will never be on my iPod. I am not a P!nk fan in the least. In reference to P!nk I will only raise my glass if we are toasting her retirement. SKIP IT

#60 “Losing My Religion” by the Glee Cast is only interesting to me because my friend told me if you Google search “That’s me”, “in the corner” comes up right away. I know you’re going to check now; it’s true, but go ahead anyway. CRY IT

#65 “Papa Can You Hear Me?” by the Glee Cast is so beautiful. The whole episode was beautiful. I’m getting the chills now listening to it. CRY IT

#73 “Bridge Over Trouble Water” by the Glee Cast.  Is amazing. I’m not a religious person, but this one makes me love gospel music so much more. CLAP TO IT, CRY IT

#74 “I Look To You” by the Glee Cast. WOW, are you tired of hearing about Glee?? I would be, but the songs are so good I don’t really mind. LOVE IT, CRY IT

#82 “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars is great for a summer day, but I didn’t really need to hear Mr. Mars tell me about his day, does that really qualify as a song, or a diary entry? PONDER IT, CRUISE IT

#91 “Like We Used To” by A Rocket To The Moon is sad I guess? PONDER IT

#93 “Stereo Love” by Edward Maya &Vika Jigulina is a pond crosser. YAY UK CHARTS/BILLBOARD CHARTS FUSION!  The song appeared on the UK Charts this summer and has taken some time to cross over, but better late than never. CRANK IT, LOVE IT





#94 “Memories” by David Guetta Featuring Kid Cudi has been one of my favorite songs for a while. If you ever get a chance to see either in concert do it. I hope they collaborate again. CRANK IT, LOVE IT

#98 “Loca” by Shakira Featuring El Cata is in Spanish so I had no idea what this shewolf is singing about, then I listened to the English version. I still can’t really understand anything she’s singing, but I was excited to see Dizzee Rascal, a British rapper on the track. AY AY IT, BOOZE IT
