Where does the day go, pop kids? I had every intention of doing the weekly chart post earlier this morning, but then one ridiculous thing after another happened, and, well, here we are at 9 p.m.It's okay, though—there are really only a few things worth mentioning here this week. First up is Lady GaGa, who's "Paparazzi" not only jumps into the Top 40, but the Top 20 also (at #18).
Oh, I know, Madonna fans, I know. But the sooner you realize GaGa is the new Madge, the less painful it'll be. I bet by the end of Lady's co-headlining tour with Kanye West, he'll be opening for her. And I also predict by this time next year, Madonna will be opening for Lady GaGa.Two other pop jams dip into the Top 40, as well—Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone," at #35, and Cascada's "Evacuate The Dancefloor," at #39.
Seriously, who would have thought Cascada would manage another U.S. hit? Not that I'm complaining. Shame goes out the window when I readily admit that "Evactuate..." has totally grown on me in the past month or so.
That's it—Natalie Horler is The next Madonna. (After Lady GaGa, of course.)
