Well then Billboard can have many seats because their first single was Wings and it flopped hard. I can't at our supposed 'official' source spreading misinformation. Not that I've ever taken Billboard seriously but they should at least do their research before leaping on band wagons.

Any ways I think the song is average but so is most of the stuff that's charting at the moment.

Actually I think their 1st single was called My Oh My but I get ur point. I dont know what billboard is up to but they should correct their mistake.

And WOW Im surprised Stay is doing so well. I dont care too much about the song but its success is outstanding :)

Does Mariah sing alone in her own tracks anymore? I don't listen to her, I think all I've heard of her was her old stuff from the 90s, which IIRC, she sang alone. It seems like her last two songs I've heard (Triumphant and #Beautiful) have others singing her songs, while she stays in the background or she just sings some verses.

Almost Home was just her, her last studio album didn't have any collabs either.

I think they meant first two singles to actually chart on the Hot 100. If that's the case - and it makes sense that it is - then it's accurate, because none of their singles before "Thrift Shop" ever even came close to touching the Hot 100.

in 3 weeks I have become in love with JGMAR. I even like it more than CHU. but I haven't really given CHU a chance since I got hooked on JGMAR, meaning I'll probably love it by next week. overall, this is the best top 2 in a while

UPDATE: It took me one listen - that's right, ONE FULL LISTEN - to love Can't Hold Us more than JGMAR now. my god, music is so good right now

The Top 10 for the Hot 100 that was released today (dated May 25th):


1. "Can't Hold Us" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton (=) (2nd week @ #1!)
2. "Just Give Me A Reason" - P!nk ft. Nate Ruess (=)
3. "Mirrors" - Justin Timberlake (=)
4. "When I Was Your Man" - Bruno Mars (+1)
5. "Stay" - Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko (-1)
6. "Come & Get It" - Selena Gomez (+8)
7. "Thrift Shop" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz (-1)
8. "Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons (=)

10. "Cruise" - Florida Georgia Line ft. Nelly (-1)
---------------------------------------------------------
24. "#Beautiful" - Mariah Carey ft. Miguel (DEBUT)


Personal comments:
-2nd week at #1 for CHU! Hopefully the second of many
-Wow, I knew "Come & Get It" would get into the Top 10, but I didn't realize it would shoot up so high!
-I hope "I Love It" rebounds, I'd hate to see it peak at #7
-"#Beautiful" debuted much lower than I expected. I didn't think it would be a Top 10 debut, but I thought it would debut at around #15

I really don't have much to say, so I hope it's okay that I don't quote SC's post :p
•same Top 3 as last week, which is cool because these are the best 3 songs, and in that order; I actually love these songs even more than I did last week
•i had WIWYM stuck in my head for like 12 hours STRAIGHT. it was not fun. so I'm getting over it. I still like Stay, though.
•i was hoping “Clarity" would be the next top 10 song, but I'm not too surprised that Selena Gomez made it here. Z100 sure loves the song

Been forever but Top 10 is still rather boring overall. Dear God...when did Selena get that popular?

Meanwhile, Britney's Ooh La La has leaked. Warning, song is not her usual sexy music as it's for the Smurfs movie.

I know there was one point about a year ago where a lot of people were talking about Lana Del Rey, so I thought I'd ask people their opinions on "Young & Beautiful", her single on The Great Gatsby soundtrack. I personally am in love with the song, and I wasn't even one of those people who would talk about Lana a lot. I honestly think I've listened to it about 10 times today, so if you haven't listened to it yet, go do it. (I recommend the DH Orchestral Version, it sounds much more ominous than the original)

I listened to it and connected the lyrics to Gatsby, and I found it very sad. poor Gatsby :(
it really makes me wanna see this movie now; this song really sets the tone for the darker parts of the story

Once she started rapping (does her rapping count as ear-raping?), I stopped listening. The sassy rapping is just not her style, and the vocals were actually really catchy. Then the rapping started and I was done.

I guess that wasn't the final version of the song, she said the real version comes out in about a month. I'm curious as too what more they could change though.

Young & Beautiful is amazing and one of the best songs she's ever done. It's perfect for the film (and used wonderfully in the film), and it's just a wonderful song in general. I hope it makes Lana a more mainstream success and restores some of the cred she had pre-SNL

Phew, I was fearful she would deliver that trainwreck as the final draft. I just hope the real version doesn't have her sass-rapping too much.

It's only a few lines that she does it so it's not that bad.


Meanwhile, I am in shock because this was revealed months ago and I am just finding out today! Fergie said back in December that she is in the early stages of a new solo album. Thank God, I've been dying for one for years.
