Every once in a while, I'll roam through the Billboard Hot 100 chart for new music, stuff I haven't heard.
And, it makes great blog filler as I recognize the best the chart has to offer.
So, it's time for another edition of what Ryan likes on the Top 40.
1. Irreplaceable - Beyonce
You know, I don't think it's nearly her best work, and I don't care for the arrangement. However, it's totally introduced the phrase "You must not know 'bout me" to the vernacular of every hot chick in America.
2. This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race - Fall Out Boy
Love the first couple of minutes, and then it goes from Trent Reznor-ish to something more akin to Blink 182. Still, it's worth it for the first little bit.
4. Daughtry - It's Not Over
Great tune. I don't even like his style of music. However, it was perfect for his voice, and the song itself is top notch.
6. The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani
Guilty, guilty pleasure.
9. Fergalicious - Fergie
My body stay vicious. I be up in the gym just workin' on my fitness. May I say that those might be the most brilliant lyrics of the past 100 years. Again, guilty pleasure.
10. What Goes Around ... Comes Around - JT
Justin Timberlake is the Michael Jackson of this generation. Just infinitely talented, and to think ... this song features only four chords: Am, C, G, D.
Now, No. 11-39 feature a ton of songs I like but that are so old, they're pretty much off my playlist at this point. The Fray, K.T. Tunstall, another JT tune. Greatness, but I'm over 'em.
Either that, or I've never heard of the songs, which indicates I might be an old coot.
40. Boston - Augustana
If you've never listened to Augustana, and you kind of dig the whole acoustic AC pop show like "The O.C." and "One Tree Hill" churned out, then you'll like these guys. They're among the best of that group.
