Thursday Billboard Update - 8/9/12

To the surprise of no one, Rick Ross' God Forgives, I Don't takes over the #1 spot this week with 219,100 albums sold. Joss Stone's The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2 debuts at #10 with 24,000 sold.

Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe gets its 9th week atop the Hot 100, the longest run at #1 in 2012. Though I could care less about Carly Rae Jepsen, this begs the question "Why doesn't she have an album out?" Again, I don't care about her music, it just seems odd that someone with such a strong stench of one-hit wonder has no album out, even after 9 weeks at #1. (Side note: Don't front like you can't see yourself in 2022 watching "I Love The '10s: 2012 Edition" on VH3 and saying, "Hey, remember her?" when Call Me Maybe is discussed.)

Thursday Billboard Update - 8/4/11

Kelly Rowland's Here I Am debuts at #3 with 77,100 albums sold. Pretty decent for Kelly Rowland. Amy Winehouse's Back To Black doesn't top the charts this week like I guessed, but it did rise 5 spots to #4 with 53,700 albums sold in the past week. Still not sure how it's not a cataloged album, but whatever. Rejoining the top 10 at #10 is Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel with 26,000 more albums sold.

Not too much going on on the Hot 100, Britney Spears' Go does crack the top 10 at #9.

• Usher's Papers sees a huge 61 spot jump this week, 92-31, in its 2nd week on the charts. He might have a hit on his hands...but I wouldn't be shocked if things died down about he got into the low 20s.

• Birdman's Money To Blow featuring Lil Wayne & Drake soars 30 spots 94-64 in its 3rd week on the charts.

• Owl City is holding down the top spot with Fireflies, and their follow up, Vanilla Twilight, debuts at #95.
• Rihanna's comeback single Russian Roulette gets off to a slow start at #100, but look for her to turn it on in the next few weeks. (How crazy would it be if this and Chris Brown's I Can Transform Ya were battling for the #1 spot in a few weeks??)

Baby Making Season Approaches...

Not all this will be baby making R&B, but I just felt like posting some new R&B so lets go!

Robin Thicke - Sex Therapy (Prod. By Polow Da Don)

What they know about my dude Thicke?! This shit is HOT! The beat was probably just a little too loud in this version, but I still love it anyway. Its just about pregnancy season so hopefully there's a full-length album coming to go with this track. I think I'm gonna have to go find my Evolution Of Robin Thicke CD to jam on the way to work today.

Joss Stone - Governmentalist (feat. Nas)

Damn I love these soul singers from the UK! Amy, Adele, Joss, Duffy, these girls are BAD! Young black girls trying to be R&B singers you are all on notice, step your game up! These UK chicks are bringing more soul to the table and we invented this shit.

Anyway, this song is stupid hot! How hot, you may be asking? So hot that I wouldn't even mind if Nas' verse was left off! Now that's hot!

Mary J. Blige - Skycap (feat. Timbaland)

The skycap concept was a bit of a stretch, but I love the vibe of this song. This might be a monster once it gets mixed down and everything. Timbo could've not said anything on the track, but I didn't mind it that much so its all good.

R. Kelly - Religious

So there is still a real artist inside of R. Kelly somewhere. Hearing Kellz making a joint like this is refreshing because I was getting tired of him riding T-Pain and The-Dream's coattail like he wasn't that nigga in the R&B for a solid decade. Its not quite Chocolate Factory shit yet, but he's getting warmer. We really need him to get back in the studio and finish that song Baby Girl with Pharrell if he hasn't already!

Chris Brown - So Cold (Prod. By Polow Da Don)

Another song about Rihanna?? He only about 3 or 4 leaked songs into a comeback and half them shits either been about Rihanna or can be interpreted to be about Rihanna. I think he might be in the "Puff Daddy after he loss J. Lo" zone right now so maybe we should just prepare ourselves for more songs of this ilk.

Whatever, this nigga still has a terrible singing voice to me either.

Mariah Carey - I Remember (feat. T-Pain)

Now I very well could've heard it wrong, but a little after 2 minutes in, did T-Pain say he was in booty dance contests in 1994 and the crowd cheered him on??

Here's the lyric:

"I wish, we could go, back to 1994! With the booty dance-offs, all on the boulevard. And they be like, 'Go T-Pain, do your G thang'..."

Again, I could be totally wrong, but that sounds like what he said to me lol.

Omarion - Hoodie

Nigga this shit is terrible lol. Hoodies were hot in like were 2006-2007, its 2009 and damn near 2010! Its too soon to try to bring them back. Making this wack ass song ain't gonna help the cause either lol.
