Is it me or did Usher completely disappear for a little bit, there? In any case, this song has spent 19 weeks on the chart, and falling from 93 to 100 this week, it looks like this will be the last go around for the man who gave birth to Justin Bieber.
September, Week 4: Artist: Usher Song: Good Kisser Peak: 65
The blog has been a little scattered recently, but with the Olympics coming up, we'll look to get right back on track.
Normally posted on Monday, we're bringing you Billboard's 100th Best Song on a Friday to help kickstart your weekend.
I'm very okay with Imagine Dragons. "It's Time" just isn't a great song, but with jams like "Radioactive" and "Demons" (listen to the chorus and tell me you don't hear "Like a Prayer" by Madonna...thank you, Greg)
February Week 1:
Artist: Imagine Dragons Song: On Top of the World Peak: 100 (new this week)
It's so bad it's actually not funny. The just did the opposite of what they set out to do. At least its not super awkward or anything either.
Oh...
That's what you get when you play in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, I guess. But at least it's not that damn car commercial that was on TV a few years ago with this song in it. You remember that one? I think it was Honda, but either way, it made Christmas a little less special when it aired. If it was Honda, then good for them, going out and upgrading their song choice by signing a free agent like Michael Bolton.
Another week down, and there are only two more Mondays left in 2013. Crazy, huh? The year has just flown by. But don't let another week fly by without knowing what the 100th best song is right now.
Chris Daughtry should've won American Idol. There, I said it. But let's talk about the music video. I can't help but feel like the scene at 0:28 seconds would've been more dramatic if it was a larger vehicle, so therefore the girl's anger is totally justified. And also, if a guy came up to me in a ratty shirt and shoved me, the gloves are coming off.
Then when he goes Darren Sharper on that mugger and the cops come? Again, its because you're a nutcase running someone down and tackling them. You should be arrested.
Anyone surprised at the guy's anger who is about to jump but then gets, you guessed it, tackled? No. And he'd totally get a smooch from that girl he saved if he didn't look like he just got run through a jet engine.
Week 1: Artist: Jon Pardi Song: Up All Night Peak: 99 (last week)
Writing alongside three Buffalo Bills fans can be quite depressing. The very legitimate playoff hopes that Jon, Bill and Span had entering this past weekend were stripped faster than the ball from tight end Scott Chandler'sgentle hands. (Too soon?)
Honestly, I feel bad for the guys. It takes a lot of patience and heartache to root for a team like the Bills. They've basically been toeing the line of the friend zone with that one really attractive girl from college and/or high school for the past 14 years (The last time the Bills made the playoffs). Every year there's a glimmer of hope and then BAM! they're stuck in her apartment eating stale cookies and watching Love Actually by themselves while she's heading to her ex-boyfriend's house.
It's okay guys, at least you aren't Browns fans...
Everybody hears the Top 40 songs way too often. So let's try something different. The 100th best song of the week every week.
Some weeks it will be a washed up hit. Other weeks it will be something new, maybe even a future #1 on the rise. I can guarantee you one thing though the 100th best song in America could be anything from country to hip-hop to polka.
So stay on your toes, folks. We're in for a wild ride.
Week 1: Artist: Jon Pardi Song: Up All Night Peak: 99 (last week)
My Rating:
If you're into country music you have heard this jam. It's a real toe-tapper. Jon Pardi is new on the scene but if he keeps firing off singles like this, you will be hearing his name more often. Throw it on your 2014 country power hour playlist and drink up.
Putting this song on the blog is long, long overdue. Saw this guy a few months back with Chase Rice at The Paradise.
If you don't like country music, you do now.
Sam Hunt released this single recently, along with his acoustic mixtape, "Between the Pines," which you can and should download free on his website. Guy's got it. He wrote Billy Currington's new single "We Are Tonight," as well as Keith Urban's "Cop Car" and Kenny Chesney's "Come Over."
Hello Threeifbystrikers! It's been some time since I've been on the site and I wanted to make sure people didn't think I'd moved on. Nothing so dramatic has been keeping me from the blog but studying for the GRE's, applying to grad schools and prepping to re-enter the 2013 job market. Not as many fun or free activities as I'd like but hey that's the deal right? With this added workload, my contribution might be fewer and far between but I'll do my best to keep up as much as I can. So, without much ado, here are some little gems from the internet that get things going.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- makeadeathwish.com- We're living in an important moment in human history right now; the end of it. I'm going with the Mayan's prediction of total annihilation at the end of December and bidding the Honey Boo Boos of the world a fond farewell. While the apocalypse is undeniably approaching, there's still plenty of time to get things done. Use makeadeathwish.com to fulfill or create the most epic end of the world bucket list ever.
Tom Brady Teaches You Football- Have you got 10k to spare? Yeah? Well why the hell aren't you out there bidding on football lessons from Awesome Tom? Can't afford the price tag, put it on your Christmas list. If your parents love you maybe they'll feel bad enough to get you an iPad mini when they can't put you and Brady's wicked spiral together.
I'm Having a Difficult Time Killing My Parents-Full Movie- TJ Miller is killing it right now, mostly everywhere and in general (Peep a track from his rap album HERE.) Comedian, writer, actor, and filmmaker, Miller is making a big splash in the world of laughs. Check out the trailers for his short films, "I'm Having a Difficult Time Killing My Parents" and "Successful Alcoholics" which have made their way into Sundance and my heart. The fact that TJ opens the trailers with one of Big Boi's illest tracks, guns, and Lizzy Caplan has me drooling all over the place. This kid's going places, keep eyes out.
This has been on a 2-a-day minimum loop in my video lineup and it's too good not to share. Two Finger's newest video is the dubstep equivalent of N64 raunch classic "Conker's Bad Fur Day" with claymation gore cranked up to 11. Call me a sentimental, but this video brings me right back to the good ole' days of old-school-slow-motion bodies exploding...aka the 80's.
PS-The ending is either really creepy or nostalgically endearing. I haven't made up my mind about it yet but I like it.
