At the top is Orson, a band from LA, but based in the UK. I had no idea they were a new band. They sound so seasoned. They've been described by Q as “the sound of Britain on a Saturday night”, so I guess it's no wonder why they are so well-loved. Oh and I think I'll chart the single "Bright Idea" which comes before Happiness and after No Tomorrow. Once I hear it of course!
#2 is Justin Timberlake who gives up the top spot, but seems to finally be seeing some chart action on Billboard. He rises from 52-35 and is the week's Greatest Airplay Gainer. He's featured on the MTV interview All Eyes On Justin Timberlake recently where he talks about his album and all that.
Other than that, I haven't got much to update on the music except that I'm looking forward to Paris Hilton's album (Stars Are Blind is at #8 after 10 weeks! new single is Nothing in this World instead of Turn It Up), which will be released in the US next week. I'm very ashamed, but I love what I've heard so far. It's better than the stuff that Lindsay Lohan comes up with! She's got good lyrics but her music is a tad pretentious, and trying to get people to take her seriously. And she fucked up her own musical career by not promoting the album. What's the point of recording it then! Paris Hilton gave a rather hilarious interview too about recording her second album, which you can read on mtv.com. I like her, but I can't take her seriously.
Seriously.
New songs that I've got to make a shoutout to include Leave Before The Lights Come On - Arctic Monkeys, Take Me As I Am - Mary J. Blige, Just In Time - Tony Bennett with Michael Buble, Revolution - The Veronicas and Ring The Alarm - Beyonce which comes with a new video which you can see here.
Oh, and in totally related music news, Britney Spears has done an interview with People Magazine recently and here are two quotes which I think need to be put under scrutiny. First of all, the woman talks about the album she's been working on.
"Having her family around will be even more important when Spears – whose last original album was 2003's In the Zone – makes her postponed return to the music world with a new album due next year that she describes as "cooler than ever – fun, upbeat and sexy."
All of us fans are dying for something to leak. Or some news. At least she's not telling us that she's going to retire already! Haha... I'm trying very hard to be optimistic. If she doesn't deliver (the album, not the baby), I'll burn my Britney DVDs! Oops. Oh, and there's this little bit here about her pregnancies and battle-plans to reclaim her position in the world of Pop.
"She's far less conflicted about nearing the end of her back-to-back pregnancies. Having been in one trimester or another for nearly 18 months out of the past 21, "I feel like I've been pregnant for 10 years!" she says. The performer who was once renowned for her 3,000-sit-ups-a-week abs can't wait to get back to fighting form. "I'm so excited to really be able to sweat like I used to – now I can't because you're always kind of scared, just kind of protective," she says. As soon as her doctor gives the okay – likely six weeks after her C-section – Spears plans to hit the gym daily and stick to a low-carb diet: "I'm definitely going to start working out in a huge way." "
And when she comes back with that sexed-up image, all those who doubted her appeal can go suck... their thumbs.
