The big news on this week's Billboard Hot 100 is that the "We Are The World" remake by Artists For Haiti—i.e. every highly relevant pop figure on the planet except for Heidi Montag, Lady Gaga, Heidi Montag, Britney Spears, Heidi Montag, Beyonce, Heidi Montag, Jay-Z and Heidi Montag—debuts at #2, after two-day sales of over 260,000 digital copies. (The single was added to iTunes last Friday, and Billboard's cut-off for adding up chart data is Sunday.)To protest this glaring omission and gross misjudgment made by Quincy Jones, here's a brand new jam from Heidi called "Trash Me":
Stunning. It sounds like the classiest moments of Britney's "If U Seek Amy" and Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" were put on a USB that was jammed up Heidi's robot ditch while she belted out her stirring, soulful powerhouse vocals in the studio. Oh, to be a fly on the wall...
Elsewhere, Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" is up one to #15, The Script jump from #40 to #28 with "Breakeven," Adam Lambert climbs to #31 with "Whataya Want From Me" and Sade fly up from #80 to #52 with "Soldier Of Love."
Speaking of Sade, the band's full Soldier Of Love LP—its first one in ten years—debuts at #1 on the Top 200 Albums chart after selling 502,000 copies. And, really, I never get tired of lead singer Sade Adu's voice. It's almost as good as Heidi Montag's.
