Ludacris f/ Nicki Manaj- My Chick Bad: B- (The line "I fill her up - Balloons!" cracks me up every time. That's the line I can't wait to hear whenever I hear the song. It's funny by itself, but it reminds me of Kelso, suddenly distracted from listening to Jackie's ground rules at Funland. I actually made it my new Facebook status update tonight.)

[friday]

Pop[/u]
Jason DeRulo- In My Head B-
Lady GaGa f/ Beyonce- Telephone: A- (Didn't think I could ever associate the color blue and Beyonce on the same line in one of these topics, but that just shows how on fire Lady Gaga's been the last 16 months. Though it still ranks dead last amongst her six singles so far.)
Rihanna- Rude Boy: A-
Lady Antebellum- Need You Now: A- (I defy you guys to come up with a cuter image than this: My 3-year-old stepniece Hadleigh at the dinner table one night, when she suddenly sings, "I'm a little drunk and I need you now." )
Train- Hey Soul Sister: C+
B.O.B. f/ Bruno Mars- Nothin' On You: B- (It's pretty good, but the "Nut, nut, nut, nothin' on you" parts become grating very quickly.)
Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be: D (I hate songs where the people singing sound like they have marbles in their mouths.)
Taio Cruz f/ Ludacris- Break Your Heart: C
The Script- Breakeven A
Timbaland f/ Justin Timberlake- Carryout: B
Kesha- Tik Tok: F
OneRepublic- All the Right Moves: A-
Adam Lambert- Whataya Want From Me: B
Young Money f/ Lloyd- Bedrock: F (It can't be this easy to write a top 5 hit, can it?
Lady GaGa- Bad Romance: A+
Kesha- Your Love is My Drug: C- (So far. I haven't dismissed the possibility that she'll come out with a song that I'll genuinely like for more than five minutes, and "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" (not a Hot Ultravox cover, thankfully) was alright the one time I heard it, but I don't mind saying I wouldn't be sad if her career peaks, like, right now.)

Daughtry- Life After You: D (Even their mediocrity has become unimpressive at this point.)
Jay-Z f/ Mr. Hudson- Young Forever: B+ (I wish I got to hear it firsthand, but it's awesome to hear that Ryan Seacrest dropped a piece of "Forever Young" by Alphaville on AT40 this weekend in context with playing this one.)

[Mega248]

Pop[/u]
Jason DeRulo- In My Head C Lady GaGa f/ Beyonce- Telephone B-
Rihanna- Rude Boy B+ (her attempt at an indie music video is ridiculous though.)
Lady Antebellum- Need You Now B+
Train- Hey Soul Sister C- (+1239? really? I would've predicted top 20 on HAC and Triple A, and "WNC" for all other formats.)
B.O.B. f/ Bruno Mars- Nothin' On You B
Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be D-
Taio Cruz f/ Ludacris- Break Your Heart C-
The Script- Breakeven B
Timbaland f/ Justin Timberlake- Carryout B
Kesha- Tik Tok D+
OneRepublic- All the Right Moves A-[/color] (yeah, this grew on me a lot and now I'm disappointed that it's stopped just short of the top 10.)
Adam Lambert- Whataya Want From Me B- (overrated)
Young Money f/ Lloyd- Bedrock D-
Lady GaGa- Bad Romance A-[/color]
Kesha- Your Love is My Drug D
Trey Songz- Say Aah C
Selena Gomez & the Scene- Naturally D
Iyaz- Solo C
Taylor Swift- Today Was A Fairytale C (so boring.)
John Mayer- Heartbreak Warfare B+
Christina Aguilera- Not Myself Tonight B- (She has everything from As to Fs, so I never know what to expect from her. She's clearly jumping on the bandwagon with this one, but a perfectly decent song overall.)
Lady GaGa- Alejandro B (anyone else hear traces of "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base in the chorus, particularly the beginning of it?)
Lifehouse- Halfway Gone B-
La Roux- Bulletproof B
Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber- Eenie Meenie F[/color] (at least by teaming up they're cluttering the chart with just one piece of s***, as opposed to each of them releasing their own separate pieces of shit.)
Daughtry- Life After You n/a (or maybe I have heard it. His songs have all morphed into one for me.)
Jay-Z f/ Mr. Hudson- Young Forever B- (For whatever reason I just don't like his slower songs as much.)
Kevin Rudolf- I Made It D+
Justin Bieber- Baby D (LOL at how all of his songs zoom up the chart, slam on the brakes around #20 and then tumble back down twice as fast. You'd think the label would've propelled at least one of them into the top 10 by now.)
Usher f/ Will.I.Am- OMG D+ (a letter grade off for resorting to the autotune trend to remain relevant. This doesn't even sound like Usher now.)

Rihanna- Rude Boy B+ (her attempt at an indie music video is ridiculous though.)

At least it's interesting, though. I did LOL, though, when she thrusts her chest in the camera to the beat as she says "boom, boom, boom." Was that supposed to be funny? I don't know!

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Train- Hey Soul Sister C- (+1239? really? I would've predicted top 20 on HAC and Triple A, and "WNC" for all other formats.)

Yeah, this is getting out of hand.

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Christina Aguilera- Not Myself Tonight B- (She has everything from As to Fs, so I never know what to expect from her. She's clearly jumping on the bandwagon with this one, but a perfectly decent song overall.)

I love how she tries to act like the Lady Gaga comparison is beneath her and give these non-answers, when, ironically, it ends up sounding like, "Yeah, guilty as charged, so I'm not gonna confirm or deny and hopefully it'll go away." www.mtv.com/news/articles/1637525/20100421/aguilera_christina.jhtml
Similarly, it's laughable the way Jennifer Lopez, who hasn't had a hit song in 7 years (not even counting that one in 2005 I can't remember the name of) and an enduring one even longer ago, is trying to lump herself right there in the middle of all the current female superstars (Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, etc.). To her credit, though, she defers MTV pinning a "trailblazer" (WTF) label on her. www.mtv.com/news/articles/1635216/20100331/lopez_jennifer.jhtml

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Lady GaGa- Alejandro B (anyone else hear traces of "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base in the chorus, particularly the beginning of it?)

From the very first time I heard it last year, yes. Also, the obvious tip of the cap to another male-female Swedish pop quartet, ABBA, by name-checking "Fernando." I'm sorry, I can't remember who all I've mentioned this to (and some other reference points on other Fame Monster songs). For all I knew I said this somewhere here a long-ass time ago. Maybe not...

Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber- Eenie Meenie F

[/color] (at least by teaming up they're cluttering the chart with just one piece of s***, as opposed to each of them releasing their own separate pieces of shit.)[/quote]
LOL

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Justin Bieber- Baby D (LOL at how all of his songs zoom up the chart, slam on the brakes around #20 and then tumble back down twice as fast. You'd think the label would've propelled at least one of them into the top 10 by now.)

I've noticed this, myself, yes. It's always relieving to witness. That so far, despite how huge the guy is, the entire spectrum of pop radio listeners is big enough to keep his songs from biting through their leashes and getting too huge.

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Usher f/ Will.I.Am- OMG D+ (a letter grade off for resorting to the autotune trend to remain relevant. This doesn't even sound like Usher now.)

And incredibly, Jamie Foxx was guilty of the exact same bulls*** a year ago, yet nobody cared and it was the biggest urban radio song of the year.

Apr 22, 2010 11:08:56 GMT -4 Mega248 said:

Spose- I'm Awesome B (damnit, this would so be no higher than a D+ if the girl I like didn't enjoy it so much.)

Its novelty is evident from the second he opens his mouth, and obviously without early Eminem this song wouldn't exist. Yet the more I hear it, the more some of the words and rhymes buried in the verses amuse me. I wouldn't even grade this a D+ anymore; it'd be higher.

Jason DeRulo - In My Head: nfe
Lady GaGa f/ Beyonce - Telephone: nfe
Rihanna - Rude Boy: B- (Rihanna, through no fault of her own, resonates negatively with me in all her songs, all because of that God forsaken "Live Your Life" hook.)
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now: A- (I'm mad that this was denied #1, actually.)
Train - Hey Soul Sister: B (What's next, The Counting Crows coming roaring back with a 12,000 spin per week hit?)
B.O.B. f/ Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You: nfe
Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be: n/a

Timbaland f/ Justin Timberlake - Carryout: n/a
Kesha - Tik Tok: B- (I enjoy it a lot more than the typical B- hit, but somewhere in the grade the fact that this song is truly god awful must be accounted.)
OneRepublic - All the Right Moves: nfe (but...What the hell is this.)
Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me: B-
Young Money f/ Lloyd - Bedrock: nfe (not very favorable though, to put it nicely.)
Lady GaGa - Bad Romance: A
Kesha - Your Love is My Drug: B- (I hope every single song she records for the rest of her life is exactly like this, and Tik Tok, and Blah Blah Blah, and "My First Kiss". I hope she never sells out and makes a ballad (ie. "Thinking of You" by Katy Perry) that gets sent to AC and tricks Pulse Gays and maybe some people in the real world into thinking that there's anything redeemable about her abilities other than those which extract pleasure through guilt. Hell, I hope she lives to be Madonna's age, continuing to pull off the exact same schtick she is today, and by then they'll probably be playing songs 24,000 times a week nationwide, and I hope it's these. She is what she is, and I'm cool with it.)
Trey Songz - Say Aah: n/a
Selena Gomez & the Scene - Naturally: n/a (I watched an episode of King of the Hill recently, one dated November 2001. Connie and some of her girlfriends were having a slumber party, with music blaring. I googled the lyrics to the song they were playing, and it turned out to be by: Selena Gomez! In 2001! And I was like, "How the f*** old was she, like...four!?!?!!! I didn't think there was any chance in the world she was older than 13 right now, but she's actually almost eighteen as we speak, which is mind boggling in itself, but still, that means she was nine!)
Iyaz - Solo: nfe

But for some reason, they don't even feel like problems anymore, and I'm very excited that their third #1 hit is all but in the books.)

Nickelback - Never Gonna Be Alone: C+
Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind: nfe
Foreigner - In Pieces: n/a (Hot Linkin Park remake?)
Orianthi - According to You: F (Aside from this being a lame-brained ode to female insecurity, which makes it F-worthy in itself, it is also head clawingly irksome how the refrain cites the positive perspective of "him" when the f***ing song is called "According to You", yet the conclusion of the song delves right back into the negative perspective of "you" which effectively negates "him", so what the hell is the point of this f***ing song! I hate this song as much as any song I've heard since "Don't 'Cha".)[/color]
Edwin McCain - Walk with You: n/a
Jonny Diaz - More Beautiful You: n/a (who???)
Straight No Chaser - You're My Best Friend: n/a
Boys Like Girls f/ Taylor Swift - Two is Better than One: B (It amuses me, the thought of jocks of Adult Contemporary stations as I know them, using the phrase "Boys like girls" when reciting the name of the band performing this song.)
Sade - Soldier of Love: nfe

Not familiar enough with anything else from Hot AC, Triple-A, or Rhythmic/Urban, and am too frightened to look at what might be on any of the other rock charts.

Me too. For "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me" to both get #1 and then for this to leap all the way to #3, but then peak there for, like, five weeks was a little frustrating and disappointing.

No way, dude. Apparently this chick's only 14 years old! (You wouldn't guess it from her promo pics, though. She looks 20-ish.) And though I wondered about the song myself, it has nothing to do with Lil Wayne's upstart clique (which features Drake & Nicki Minaj.)

Orianthi - According to You: F (Aside from this being a lame-brained ode to female insecurity, which makes it F-worthy in itself, it is also head clawingly irksome how the refrain cites the positive perspective of "him" when the f***ing song is called "According to You", yet the conclusion of the song delves right back into the negative perspective of "you" which effectively negates "him", so what the hell is the point of this f***ing song! I hate this song as much as any song I've heard since "Don't 'Cha".)

Great point. The song should be called "According to Him." The ending, repeating a line from the first verse, always seemed a little lazy, like nobody had a better idea for a musical resolution.

Sorry, but the guitar solo makes the song for me. What a waste to put it on such an awful song.

Jay-Z f/Swizz Beatz - On to the Next One [blue]A[/blue] [green](K, I know that this song supposedly samples "D.A.N.C.E.", but I can't tell which part of the song they took the sample from! Does anyone know?)[/green]

It's where the beat drops out over halfway through the song, leaving the background gang chant "Un-der-the-spot-light." Swizz loops the line and chops it at the end of "the" and "spot," and somehow came to the realization that it sounds like a stuttered chant of "On to the next one," which, I can't believe I'm saying this about a Swizz Beatz production, is f***ing brilliant.

Actually, Swizz has done a lot of songs I love that I forget are him:

Busta Rhymes "Touch It"
Cassidy "I'm a Hustla"
I don't even need to get the T's, then, to know that T.I.'s "Bring 'Em Out" is also his.
Chris Brown "I Can Transform Ya"
DMX "Ruff Ryders Anthem," "Party Up," & "One More Road to Cross."
Eve "Gotta Man" & "Love Is Blind"
Jay-Z "Jigga My Nigga"
Limp Bizkit "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)"
Styles P "Good Times"

No way, dude. Apparently this chick's only 14 years old! (You wouldn't guess it from her promo pics, though. She looks 20-ish.) And though I wondered about the song myself, it has nothing to do with Lil Wayne's upstart clique (which features Drake & Nicki Minaj.)

You do realize that she does name-drop both Drake and Lil Wayne in that song, right?

American Bang - Wild and Young: n/a (who?)

Princes of Leon.

Sweet merciful crap, you're right. I've heard this about five times on my new station and I can not remember any part of this whatsoever. And it's not because the song isn't memorable or because it is; I have no idea either way. It's because of the fact that the group performing it isn't Kings of Leon and that stood above anything else that was going on during the song itself, to the point where I was physically not capable of paying attention to the song's content. Even with five attempts!

[radical347]

Pop[/u]
Jason DeRulo- In My Head D (This has become the latest casualty of "I used to like it until I paid attention to the extremely stupid lyrics." And I was even willing to try to not be irritated by 'Jason Derulo/Beluga Heights' at the beginning. But what the hell...this is a not very clever at all song about trying to get a bj with an even more ridiculous attempt to make it 'open to interpretation,' even involving the album cover which shows a close-up of the head that Jason DeRulo wants to dummy all the censors to think he's talking about. Seriously, Jason DeRulo, keep this kind of stuff on your LiveJournal.)
Lady GaGa f/ Beyonce- Telephone F[/color]
Rihanna- Rude Boy D
Lady Antebellum- Need You Now B+
Train- Hey Soul Sister F[/color]
B.O.B. f/ Bruno Mars- Nothin' On You B-
Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be nh/dr
Taio Cruz f/ Ludacris- Break Your Heart A-
The Script- Breakeven B+
Timbaland f/ Justin Timberlake- Carryout D
Kesha- Tik Tok D
OneRepublic- All the Right Moves B+ (It's growing on me.)
Adam Lambert- Whataya Want From Me B- (This has begun grating on me. Mostly because I can't get the spelling of 'whataya' out of my mind every time I hear it.)
Young Money f/ Lloyd- Bedrock nh/dr
Lady GaGa- Bad Romance F[/color] (Every time I hear this my (still as of now) favorable opinion of Lady Gaga continues to die a slow death.)
Kesha- Your Love is My Drug C-
Trey Songz- Say Aah nh/dr
Selena Gomez & the Scene- Naturally D
Iyaz- Solo nh/dr
Taylor Swift- Today Was A Fairytale C- (Yawn...)
John Mayer- Heartbreak Warfare B+
Christina Aguilera- Not Myself Tonight C- (For now. Oh, and was anyone else taken aback by her latest CD cover? Just never expected anything like that from her.)
Lady GaGa- Alejandro A-[/color] (Now if all stations would drop Bad Romance in favor of this. I'm sure it'll happen soon enough, but maybe not. I may have to endure a few months of 'Telephone' first, which I still don't hear that often.)
Lifehouse- Halfway Gone A-[/color]
La Roux- Bulletproof B
Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber- Eenie Meenie nh/dr
Daughtry- Life After You C-
Jay-Z f/ Mr. Hudson- Young Forever nh/dr
Kevin Rudolf- I Made It C- (Pshaw. Having a #6 and #25 pop hit does not mean you 'made it' or that you have permission to namedrop the former in your third song. But 'Let It Rock' took about a year to grown on me, so I'm not ruling this one out completely yet.)
Justin Bieber- Baby F[/color]
Usher f/ Will.I.Am- OMG nh/dr
Timbaland- If We Ever Meet Again nh/dr
Travie McCoy f/ Bruno Mars- Billionaire C+
Rob Thomas- Someday C (This is a good example of a song that has just about everything in it that could make it truly stellar, and yet is just kinda there.)
Spose- I'm Awesome D+ (The novelty's wearing off.)
New Boyz f/ Ray J- Tie Me Down nh/dr
Ludacris- How Low nh/dr
Kelly Clarkson- All I Ever Wanted D (I wonder if she realizes how safe and bland she really is. She probably does. Heck, I'd do the same thing if I could get hit after hit with it.)
Shontelle- Impossible nh/dr
Kesha f/ 3Oh!3- Blah Blah Blah C- Crash46 sez: (and one last thing: Kesha might as well should just join 3Oh!3, or the other way around or something; they are a match made in heaven.) (Yeah...)
Nickelback- This Afternoon B- (Honestly, these guys continue to surprise & delight me on how cornball they can possibly go and that's why I can't give them much lower than this. Just when I think I've heard enough, they up the ante.)
Michael Buble- Haven't Met You Yet D (I probably wouldn't mind this as much if it would have stayed on AC like it should have)
We the Kings- We'll Be a Dream D+ (And the video is just so "". What are they doing, playing red rover? Oh, and who the hell is Demi Lovato.)
JLS- Everybody In Love nh but sounds like an orgy to me...
Vita Chambers- Young Money nh/dr
Charice f/ Iyaz- Pyramid nh/dr
Timbaland f/ Drake- Say Something C (Hot James remake!)
Theory of a Deadman- All or Nothing B (Hot Cher remake!) -or- (Hot hyrmsomedaymuym remake!)
Ludacris f/ Nicki Manaj- My Chick Bad B+ (For now. After one listen, this is as stupidly hilarious as "Skinny Little Bitch" and I appreciated how he pronounced "yours" "urs" just so he could rhyme it with "words".)
Jaicko- Fast Forward C+

Alternative[/u]
Stone Temple Pilots- Between the Lines B- (I'm not that much of a fan, but it gets 1/3 of a grade up for rhyming "love" with "drug" and then another 1/3 for rhyming "drug" with "drugs.")
Muse- Resistance B+ (Although the album version would get 1/3 to 2/3 of a grade higher. They didn't need to kill off that much of the piano intro.)
Crash Kings- Mountain Man D (I probably would have actually been rooting for this if it had stayed in But the 30s where it belonged.)
Dirty Hands- Lay Me Down A-[/color] (Dirty Heads, you mean. Up until about last week, I just dismissed them as bad Sublime rip-offs, which they still are, but then I paid attention to the Wild Wild West theme in which they suddenly stopped running from the law to go walk and the beach to get some. Which was a bit too asininely non-sequitir to not make me like this song.)
Rise Against- Savior D (still?)
Alice in Chains- Your Decision B (still?, but in a different way, as in I never hear this anymore, how is it still this high.)
Muse- Uprising D
Chevelle- Letter from a Thief C
Phoenix- 1901 B
Paramore- Brick by Boring Brick C- (Could never get into them.)
Breaking Benjamin- Give Me a Sign B-
Weezer- I Want to B
Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition A-[/color] (I'm still surprised by their chart performance as most 80s rip-offs don't get past the 40s, let alone chart, except for the Killers but their success isn't even guaranteed anymore. It's probably because it was on the soundtrack to some movie I've never heard of and/or on some commercial I've never seen. Oh well, whatever works.)
Flyleaf- Again D
Sick Puppies- Odd One nh/dr
Silversun Pickups- The Royal We B+ (After trying so hard to like most of their songs, to no avail, I stopped trying...and then somehow this one grows on me.)
Three Days Grace- The Good Life B- (after one listen)
Metric- Gold Guns Girls C
Weezer- I'm Your Daddy A-[/color] (Ok, so I heard this at a certain bar a few weeks ago, and I'm never going to be able to think of this in the same way again. )
30 Seconds to Mars- This is War B- (Not a bad song, but 30STM is seriously starting to creep me out. Kings, queens, wars, prophets, messiahs...are they in some sort of cult or new age religion? Or just stuck in D&D land?)
Hole- Skinny Little Bitch A-[/color] (Come back here you piece of trash, so I can kick your scrawny @$$. Classic.)
Phoenix- Lisztomania B+ (For now. Doesn't seem to make too much sense though.)
Jack Johnson- You and Your Heart B+ (I like all of his songs decently enough, but I wish one of these days he would feature something that would seriously make one stand out above the others. This hasn't happened since 'Flake' IMO.)
Cypress Hill- Rise Up C (After one listen)
Flobots- f/ Tim McIlrath- White Flag Warrior B (I miss hearing this song. It's so much better than "Handlebars.")
Neon Trees- Animal A-[/color]
Violent Soho- Jesus Stole My Girlfriend C+
Gorillaz- Stylo A+[/color]
Civil Twilight- Letters from the Sky B+ (I almost love this song. But it's missing something and I can't quite put my finger on it.)
Broken Bells- High Road B- (Not sure how a song this bland manages to be this catchy. Or vice versa.)
Cage the Elephant- In One Ear D (These guys are obnoxious. Enough already.)
Dead Weather- Die by the Drop F[/color]
Deftones- Diamond Eyes D
Godsmack- Cryin' Like a Bitch nh/dr
Five Finger Death Punch- Walk Away nh/dr
Vampire Weekend- Cousins F[/color]
Bullet for My Valentine- Your Betrayal nh/dr
Them Crooked Vultures- Mind Eraser, No Chaser B-
Skillet- Monster B-
Hockey- Song Away A (On the verge of getting the + too. Perhaps I love it so because it has the same producer as my favorite song.)
American Bang- Wild and Young A- (Such a stupid band name and stupid title, and yet such a good song.)
Shinedown- The Crow and the Butterfly nh but I'm not sure how anything good could possibly come of it
Coheed and Cmabria- Her We Are Juggernaut C+
Dan Black- Symphonies A-[/color]
Against Me!- I Was a Teenage Anarchist A-[/color] (A good song, though I was initially disappointed that it wasn't as good as Thrash Unreal. But the more I hear it I realize how clever it actually is.)
Edward Sharpe/Magnetic Zeros- Home C- (Although, 'magnetic eros' would be quite the band name. Anyway, KFOG and Live 105 have been giving this a few spins on their new music programs for what seems like the past year and it sounds like a generic example of an original-but-yet-uninspired-and-totally-forgettable-hipster-indie-wannabe-song-from-a-band-with-a-borderline-asinine-name that would only get played on programs like that. Because of this I can't give it any higher, to start off. I'm also flabbergasted to see it on the actual chart, let alone as high as the 30s.)
Needtobreathe- Hurricane B (Still not sure why this is here, but is a lot better than everything they've released to AAA or Christian.)
Mumford & Sons- Little Lion Man C- (See Edward Sharpe, replace 'what seems like the past year' with 'the past few months', and replace 'and-totally-forgettable' with 'with-a-completely-unnecessary-f-bomb-dropped-at-the-end-just-to-give-it-alternative-cred.)
Alkaline Trio- This Addiction D
OK Go- This Too Shall Pass B (For now. I doubt it'll change much though.)

AC[/u]
Kelly Clarkson- Already Gone F[/color]
Colbie Caillat- Fallin' For You C-
Taylor Swift- You Belong With Me C-
Uncle Kracker- Smile D
Five For Fighting- Chances B+ (Well, glad to see this still charting somewhere.)

Kris Allen- Live Like We're Dying C-
Lady GaGa- Paparazzi B
Miley Cyrus- When I Look at You nh/dr
Nickelback- Never Gonna Be Alone B
Alicia Keys- Empire State of Mind D
Foreigner- In Pieces B+ (Lol...are they coming out with a new album or something?)
Orianthi- According to You B-
Edwin McCain- Walk with You nh/dr and although I guess he never really went away. He did have an AAA-only hit with Maia Sharp a few years ago that some Hot AC station in Cleveland played about 6 years ago.)
Jonny Diaz- More Beautiful You nh/dr
Straight No Chaser- You're My Best Friend nh/dr
Boys Like Girls - Two is Better than One D (Ok, I'm finally sick of this.)
Sade- Soldier of Love D (I really wanted to like this, too. I was looking forward to new Sade...not new painfully generic rhythmic garbage.)

Hot AC[/u]
Bon Jovi- Superman Tonight D+ (I don't really see the point, but whatever.)
Snow Patrol- Just Say Yes A[/color]
Barenaked Ladies- You Run Away A-[/color]
Pearl Jam- Just Breathe F[/color]
Melissa Etheridge- Fearless Love A-[/color]
Ryan Star- Breathe nh/dr
Fray- Syndicate B+ (This is the best they've done in awhile. Too bad I'm sick of them.)
V V Brown- Shark in the Water B-
Cavo- Let it Go C+ (What?!?!)

Triple A[/u]
One Eskimo- Kandi F (Ok, I tried to like this, but this is beyond stupid and the sampling adds nothing; I get the feeling they added it just because they wanted to sample Kandi Stanton and name the song after her. That and she sounds like a guy in the clip.)
Dave Matthews Band- You & Me D
Avett Brothers- I & Love & YOu D+ (Wow, look at me. I'm being unusually harsh on AAA these days! )
David Gray- Stella the Artist B+
Norah Jones- It's Gonna Be nh/dwt
John Butler Trio- One Way Road B+
Mat Kearney- All I Have C+
Alpha Rev- New Morning C (As generic AAA as you could possibly get.)
Needtobreathe- The Outsiders C
Citizen Cope- Healing Hands A-

Jamie Cullum- Wheels A-
Fanfarlo- Harold T. Wilkins B+ (This is still charting? Well I'd assume it's gone by now.)
Corinne Bailey Rae- The Blackest Lily C
Ingrid Michaelson- Everybody C+
Ryan Bingham- The Weary Kind nh/dr
