Klassy Ke$ha has now spent eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with "TiK ToK," making it the longest stay at #1 for a female solo artist since Beyonce racked up ten weeks with "Irreplaceable" at in late 2006/early 2007. There's really not much more you can say about this broad or this song, so hopefully she has a new schtick/look by the time that "Blah Blah Blah" video is released. Otherwise, thanks for doing a round of shots, baby, but this relationship was never gonna move past the parking lot.Pink gets a post-Grammy Awards boost, as "Glitter In The Air" debuts this week at #18, while Funhouse jumps up from #61 to #15 on the Top 200 Albums chart.
Meanwhile, back on the Hot 100, The Script finally land "Breakeven" in the Top 40, as the single moves up from #53 to #40. I guess they heard about my offer of a hand down the shorts if they started hustling that song along a bit faster. Don't worry, lads, I always wear ISOTONERs.
Finally, good ol' Shiny Toy Guns debut at #97 with their cover of Peter Schilling's 1983 synth jam "Major Tom (Coming Home)." Was this recording really necessary? Hey, it was used in a car commercial...
Gosh, I remember seeing this group before they had a label deal (and with a different female singer) back in February 2005 at the Viper Room here in Los Angeles. Who knew they'd still be kicking around—and not serving lattes at Starbucks—five years later?
