Danity Kane, the all-female R&B group (and "stars" of
MTV's Making The Band 4), are releasing their not-so-anticipated CD "Welcome To The Dollhouse" this week.
How fitting that a CD released by 5 of
Diddy's personal puppets references the fact that they are, themselves, both fake and plastic.
How many times can
Diddy do this, really? I realize the right answer is probably "until he stops making boatloads of money for doing it", but I am asking on behalf of people who still prefer to music they enjoy to be written by the actual artist.
So, Puff Daddy, go back to your
matching sweatsuits with Mase, making lackluster albums under your own name, and being a sidekick for someone who is clearly more talented than you. Do whatever you want, just stop using pretty faces and the young MTV demographic to make yourself rich(er).
2. "Love In This Club" by Usher and Young Jeezy. Released last week, it made its rapid climb up the charts, just as expected..
3. "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles. Staying in the top 5 for the 6th straight week.
4. "No Air" by Jordin Sparks and
Chris Brown. Two teenagers sing duet about apparent asphyxiation, make millions off twenty-somethings who still watch American Idol.
5. "Low" by Flo Rida (feat. T-Pain). iTunes Top 100 stalwart drops 4 spots to unheard-of depths, State of Florida wants its name back.
Greatest Gainer:
- "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. Went from unknown to the top of the charts in 3 days. Behold the power of Simon, Randy and Paula Abdrunk.
Farthest Faller:
- Amy Winehouse, in general. From penthouse to outhouse (or crackhouse, whichever you prefer). Went from 4 songs firmly planted in the top 25 the week after the
Grammy's to one song clinging to the #85 spot ("Rehab").
- Also, Cherish, an Atlanta born pop group comprising a 4 sisters (Farrah, Neosha, and twins Fallon and Felisha) made an appearance in the top 100 with "Killa", a song featuring Yung Joc from the Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack. This single is the fourth song from that soundtrack to reach top 100, a decent number by any album's standards. What kind of success do you think the "Step Up 3-D" soundtrack will have?
- Dropping out of the top 100 is Simple Plan (thank you Jesus!). The whiny Canadian punksters released their new self-titled album last week, much to the chagrin of anyone who appreciates decent music. The song
"Your Love is a Lie" ended its one week stint in the 100, and now I have a Simple Plan of my own for the band: BREAK UP. And never touch a musical instrument again. In fact, just get jobs at Hot Topic, the only place where anyone likes you.
That's all I got this week, I am going to put on some guy-liner.
Missy Elliott is back with a vengeance. Having not heard from her for a while, Missy christened her return by breaking out two new singles, “Ching-A-Ling” and “Shake Your Pom Pom”, off the Step Up 2 soundtrack (an album which also includes Flo Rida’s mega-hit “Low”). Missy is back to her old tricks too, releasing another amazing music video .
Some sense of normalcy has come back to the iTunes Top 100, having both Paula Abdul and Michael Jackson depart the top 100. Paula’s “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” fell by the wayside after a Super Bowl halftime performance left a lot to be desired (and a little queasy), to say the least. The gloved one,
however, fell out of the 100 the day his new album dropped. Strange (if I am going to use the word strange, shouldn’t it be about “Jack-O”?). The whole album (”Thriller 25”, released February 12th), to me, is just a way to make a bunch of money with minimal work. I guess the Neverland Ranch needed some new llamas and a tilt-o-whirl…
Ok, enough on the 80’s star misfits. Other stars making waves in the 100 are Sheryl Crow, whose song “Love Is Free” debuted nicely off of her latest album "Detours" and Amy Winehouse, whose 5 Grammy’s bolstered her record sales enough to get two songs (“Rehab” and "You Know I'm No Good") back into the top 100.

Another busy week in the iTunes Top 100, let’s get going…
Tom Petty used the Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show as a catalyst to further his expiring career, having 5 songs limp back into the iTunes Top 100. I don’t know if it is just me, but was this the worst halftime show since “Nipplegate”? A flaccid Tom Petty mumbling through songs that we’ve all heard 400 times, just trying to distract the 97 million viewers for 12 minutes? Come on. And do we need that fake audience brimming over with fake enthusiasm to get so much camera time? And maybe this is just me…but did the first 18 seconds of the halftime show remind anyone else of a fluorescently-lit telling of the birds and the bees? Watch it again and think about it.
Did anyone else see Paula Abdul perform her new single “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” at The Super Bowl? I am not going to waste my time telling you she was lip-synching. If you have eyes and are older than 11, you know that. What I care to comment on is the sheer bravado and lack of loyalty to fans it takes to do such a thing. Instead of sing a song that you “recorded” and let your fans see and hear you sing your first single in 15 years, you would rather prance around a stage you are performing on the Mickey Mouse club in 1988, resurrecting some prehistoric dance moves to boot. I don’t know, maybe I am being too tough on her but I found it insulting, and I despise Paula Abdul (can you tell?).
Ok, no more ranting, back to the top 100…
Joining Tom and His Heartbreakers in the 100 is Journey, back with “Don’t Stop Believin” after a month long hiatus. In my heart, it never really left at all. Also, the song “What Is Love?” by Haddaway popped into the top 100 after being used in the hilarious Pepsi Max ad. However I can’t help but wonder how much that song would be heard if that SNL skit never happened.
