This sh!t is bananas! B-A-NAN-A-S!!!

I'm sure that sounds more than familiar. I don't know why people think the song is overplayed on radio. In my opinion, the song cannot be overplayed. Gwen Stefani's third single off L.A.M.B. rocks. There's no question about it. Hollaback Girl has spent 4 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it's been a long time since a female solo artist has taken the top spot. She's currently at #2 for a second week, overthrown by Mariah Carey's WBT though. The song is wild, unapologetic and unconventional. A trick that only a veteran in the business could pull off. Also, the fact that everything she does is looked upon as cool prevented this song from being a laughing stock, and this track has turned into some massive anthem for cheerleading.



There's been a lot of discussion over her recent work because it doesn't sound like anything who could've come from the girl who sang Spiderwebs or Ex-Girlfriend. She was supposed to be the rock chick. But she's shown that she can be a pop singer too. She's unleashed this side of her with this solo album, her sound reflecting every bit of her personality - funky, spontaneous and fresh. Sure, this move has upset No Doubt fans, with many not being able to accept her solo style of music. However, her music has drawn new fans to her. L.A.M.B. (2.0million) has outsold every No Doubt album in the USA with the exception of Tragic Kingdom (7.9 million) and Rock Steady (2.7 million). I love her solo style and I'm enjoying every minute of her music.
