Quick Top 40 Charts Update

I used to recap the Top 40 Charts here every week or so, then dropped out of the habit, mostly due to lack of material. Today, I feel the urge to comment on a few things...

- The Twitter revolution is on it's last legs, I feel. There are two songs in the American Top 40 with a hashtag in them (Mariah Carey's "#Beautiful" and will.i.am's "#thatPOWER"). Once the mainstream gets a hold something, it stops being cool.

- Robin Thicke looks like the mutant pompadoured offspring of Alan Thicke and Kirk Cameron. Creepy...

- Avril Lavigne's latest single is called "Here's to Never Growing Up". This sung by a pushing 30 faux-punker who is engaged to Chad Kroeger, favourite rock growler of balding 50s year old truck drivin' rockers everywhere!

- I'm quite surprised at Darius Rucker's reinvention as a country singer. He's miles away from his days in Hootie and the Blowfish and sounding great!

- Fall Out Boy are easily the most obnoxious band in existence right now. The only other band that is in contention is fun. and they're a very, very distant second.
