Pop[/u]
Bruno Mars- It Will Rain: B
Katy Perry- The One That Got Away: B- (Even though the singles from this era have ranged from OK to great - something I never would have expected - it's ridiculous that all six of them reached #1 here. At least this one missed on Billboard since that would have "officially" given her the record from one album.)
Rihanna f/ Calvin Harris- We Found Love: A
Flo Rida f/ Etta James- Good Feeling: F
Adele- Set Fire to the Rain: A-
Selena Gomez- Love You Like a Love Song: C
LMFAO- Sexy and I Know It: D
Jessie J- Domino: B-
David Guetta f/ Usher- Without You: C+ (The video is easily one of the most ridiculous ones I've ever seen.)
Gym Class Heroes f/ Adam Levine- Stereo Hearts: C+

Lady Gaga- Marry the Night: A-
Kelly Clarkson- Mr. Know it All: D
Kelly Clarkson- Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You): C (Yeah, we get it, you don't care much for your critics. On the plus side, this might be the first song of hers I can tolerate hearing on the radio a few times a week.)
T-Pain f Wiz Khalifa- 5 O'Clock: B-
Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg f/ Bruno Mars- Young, Wild & Free: n/a
Wanted- Glad You Came: B+
Big Time Rush- Music Sounds Better: n/a (Geez, what's next? Glee songs?)
Big Sean- Dance (A$$): n/a

Jojo- Disaster: n/a
We the Kings- Say You Like Me: n/a
Drake f/ Rihanna- Take Care: B-
Colbie Caillat- Brighter than the Sun: B-
Coldplay f/ Rihanna- Princess of China: A- (But if this winds up as their biggest hit, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little sore about it.)
LMFAO- Sorry for Party Rocking: n/a
Cobra Starship f/ Mac Miller- Middle Finger: n/a
Nicki Minaj f/ Rihanna- Fly: B
Foster the People- Don't Stop (Color on the Walls): A

Lady Gaga- You and I: B+ (It annoys me that some of the stations in New York substitute every instance of "Nebraska" with "New York." Then again, I guess it's more annoying that she actually recorded it in the first place. There are some people around here who know there are states in between New Jersey and California.)

[a Nick O!]

I meant to start this topic way back in December, but am still not in any way prepared to sit down, grade, and talk about all the songs I'd want to include. My body strength on the side affected (my dominant side, unfortunately) is getting rehabilitated, and I'm trying my best to type normally with both hands to ultimately speed recovery progress up.

At least in the Pulse Alternative forum I can always go back to the last song topic I left off from and start playing catch-up again one day hopefully in the near future. So that's why I've completely stopped talking in there again, which sucks because I can't wait to talk about how much I love those huge new songs by Gotye and fun., both of which came out of nowhere.
