reviewYNTK | This Week in Music [June 15-22]
What’s the opposite of Bionic?: Christina Aguilera’s “Bionic” album entered at #3 on the Billboard Hot 200. With 110,000 copies sold she only managed to place third, behind both Glee (#1) and Twilight (#2) soundtracks. This is Christina’s worst first week sales to date, which is unfortunate as Bionic is a solid album, minus a weak choice of a first single - ”Not Myself Tonight.”
Oh well Christina you can’t always win, after all, you are only human.
Hot 100
1. Katy Perry – California Gurls
2. Usher – OMG
3. B.O.B Feat Hayley Williams – Airplanes
4. Travie McCoy Feat Bruno Mars – Billionaire
5. Ke$ha – Your Love Is My Drug
6. Lady Gaga – Alejandro
7. Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart
8. Eminem – Not Afraid
9. The Black Eyed Peas – Rock That Body
10. Drake – Find Your Love
Song of the week/ Watch out for: Nicki Minaj – “Your Love”
It’s funny what an Annie Lennox sample, a lil auto tune and an angry Queen can do for you. Last week Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love” made a debut on the Hot 100 at #51 and already in it’s second week has jumped to #26. Lil Kim might be sticking pins into a voodoo doll right about now but at this rate Minaj is in it to win win win no matter what.
#YNTK: After her 1st single “Massive Attack” failed to break into the Hot 100, haters critics are questioning if Minaj has what it takes to be a solo superstar, or if she was better as just a underground mixtape artist. Time will tell.
