Chart Notes for April 23-29

2. E.T. - Katy Perry ft. Kanye West
Katy Perry has the choked, halting singing style of someone who can barely carry a tune trying to do the vocals on Rock Band. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about here.

10.  Judas - Lady Gaga
I'm getting worried about how rigorously Lady Gaga is replicating Madonna's career. If she releases her own version of Sex, it'll be scarier than the Necronomicon.

11. The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars
Now that John Mayer's career has flamed out, the competition for the next poor man's Jack Johnson is getting fierce.

14. Written in the Stars - Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner
Tinie, you don't need to tell us how awful your childhood was. Your name says it all.

20. Give Me Everything - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, and Nayer
This shit sucks, but it's pretty cool that a mashup is in the Top 20. Wait...it isn't a mashup? This is how it was originally recorded? They wanted it to sound like this?

24. Price Tag - Jessie J ft. B.o.B.
The chorus for this song rhymes "money" with "money," and follows up by rhyming "dance" with "tag."  That's like watching a guy trip over his untied shoelaces, bend down and tie them, and then fall flat on his face because he tied his shoes together.

30. Backseat - Satan ft. The Minions of Hell
I'm holding out hope that blatant payola is the only thing keeping this turd afloat, because the alternative involves a lot of blood.

36. For the First Time - The Script
This song is really old-school, in the sense of medieval kings preferring their minstrels to be castrati.

40. Bow Chicka Wow Wow - Mike Posner ft. Lil Wayne
Eww. If a guy plays this song for a date, it's a pretty good bet that there's a keyhole on the inside of his front door.
