Chart Notes for March 19-25

1. Born This Way - Lady Gaga
I actually linked to Madonna's "Express Yourself" instead of this. I'm telling you because you wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

7. Grenade - Bruno Mars
I hope Bruno didn't write this song for an actual girl. If he did, he's probably still writing off getting dumped the next day as a coincidence.

10. Blow - Ke$ha
This title is also the only word on Ke$ha's resume under "hobbies." 

And "previous employment."

16. I Need a Doctor - Dr. Dre ft. Eminem and Skylar Grey
Skylar Grey is going to be everywhere for the next couple years. She's the new go-to singer for adding enough melodrama to make Richard Wagner blush.

22. Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Fucking Peas
That it exists demeans human endeavor; that it is beloved discredits human existence.

23. Landslide - Glee Cast ft. Gwyneth Paltrow
At this point, the only person I'm interested in hearing a cover of this song from is Tom Waits. And there is no song that I'm interested in hearing the Glee cast perform.

24. Pretty Girl Rock - Keri Hilson
I hope this wasn't intended as some sort of answer song to "Pretty Boy Swag," because (a) answer songs are a ridiculous concept, and (b) no one remembers "Pretty Boy Swag" at this point, and it's best left forgotten.

38. Colder Weather - Zac Brown Band
Making its first appearance on the Top 40 just as spring starts! Well-played, Zac Brown Band.

40. The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco
Whitest. Sample. Ever.
