Not too many songs this week, but where it lacks in quantity, it makes up in quality.
99. Rihanna Featuring Slash, Rockstar 101
What does Rihanna or this song have to do with Rock music? The song itself isn't too bad. It's catchy, and will probably get pretty far in the charts.
97. Shinedown, The Crow And The Butterfly
This song has been in the Rock charts for quite a while. In my opinion, it's one of the best Rock songs this year, and my favourite of the week. The tune is very powerful, and the song is just great to listen to. This should climb steadily and get pretty high. If not, I don't give a f*ck.
96. Kenny Chesney, The Boys of Fall
I don't think this guy has ever had a bad Country song. This one is pretty solid and nice to listen to. I don't think it's got lasting power like some of his previous songs. I don't think this will be here next week.
79. Asher Roth, G.R.I.N.D.
This week's highest new entry is an interesting song. There's a great drive to the song, and the chorus is pretty good. I don't know why but it reminds me of Beck. It's got potential, but i don't think it'll be int the charts for too long.
So how did I do last week?
Right:
Rick Ross Featuring Drake & Chrisette Michele, Aston Martin Music - It wasn't hit worthy and it left the charts.
Bruno Mars, Just The Way You Are - I didn't really likeit, but thought it would climb. it did, 7 places.
Wrong:
Ne-Yo, Champagne Life - It dropped 10 places. I'm surprised because I thought It was quite good.
Undertermined:
Katy Perry, Teenage Dream - it broke the top 10 like I said, but a lot quicker than I thought.

Another Short Week
98. Rick Ross Featuring Drake & Chrisette Michele, Aston Martin Music
It's very well performed, and overall a good sound, but I didn't really feel this song had much originality to it. While there's a catchy hook to it, it's not very hit worthy.
I don't think this will get more than a couple of weeks, and might not even be in the charts next week.
75. Ne-Yo, Champagne Life
There's a Michael Jackson homage both in the music and video, and to be honest, it sounds really good. I think this song will get pretty far. It's my favorite for the week.
43. Bruno Mars, Just The Way You Are
I have to say that while this song has a lot of potential to it and will probably get quite far in the charts, I don't really care for it. It's one of those songs that has a great sound and strong performance but when you think about it, there are many other songs that sound similar and are much better.
20. Katy Perry, Teenage Dream
This week's highest new entry is a hit, so there's not much to say where it will go. IMO, though, it's nowhere near as strong as California Gurls. While it can break the top 10, I don't think this will be No.1 or have the same staying power.
So how did I do with last week's predictions?
Right:
Rob Thomas, Mockingbird - It left the charts.
Easton Corbin, Roll With It - It only climbed one place, so I think I might have been correct on this. We'll see next week.
Hannah Montana, Ordinary Girl - It stayed in the same place, so I might have been correct.
Wrong:
Monica, Love All Over Me - While it stayed in the same place, I did think it would leave the charts.
Chiddy Bang, Opposite Of Adults - I thought it would last a little longer, but it left the charts.
Auburn Featuring Iyaz, La La La - I didn't think this would last. I didn't think it that great a song. It climbed 16 places.
Darius Rucker, Come Back Song - I thought it would do much better. It dropped 18 places.
Undetermined:
New Boyz Featuring Iyaz, Break My Bank - I didn't predict a bright future for the song. I thought it would slightly climb, but it slightly dropped eight places.
Usher Featuring Pitbull, DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love - It's still hanging in there.

I'm Off to Greece
Tomorrow, I'm going on Vacation to Greece for the week. So, for now, here's this week's latest new entries to the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
100. Rob Thomas, Mockingbird
There's something remeniscent of early eighties style Rock songs. The drive here is great. The overall song is pretty good. All that said, I don't predict too bright a future for this song. 25 years ago, it would have hit top 10.
98. Easton Corbin, Roll With It
It's not too bad a Country song, but it's not the greatest either. It's been a while on the country charts, but i don't think this will stick around on the Hot 100 for too long.
94. Monica, Love All Over Me
It's very nice ballad, but I found it sounding like too many other similar songs, and also very un-catchy.
Her voice is fantasic, but I don't think it's enough to keep the song in the charts. I think it might not be here next week.
91. Hannah Montana, Ordinary Girl
This is actually pretty weak, even for Miley Sirus. I didn't really find much interest in this song. I don't think this will last long.
90. Chiddy Bang, Opposite Of Adults
I like this song. It's got a good hiphoppop drive, and good musical hook. It's also my favorite of the week. That being said, I don't think it has the staying power. This might climb a little bit, but wont stay around on the charts for very long.
74. Auburn Featuring Iyaz, La La La
I'm listening to this and thinking, yeah so what? There's nothing special about this song. It's good for the clubs, but IMO not good enough for the charts. I don't think this will be here next week.
71. New Boyz Featuring Iyaz, Break My Bank
This is cute, I guess. It's got a good beat, and all the usual cliches for the genre. It's not a great song by any means. This might have a few weeks on the charts, but I don't see it hitting top 50.
67. Darius Rucker, Come Back Song
It's a simple Country song, but the chorus is pretty strong. I don't think this will shoot up much higher, but rather have a slow climb into the top 50.
19. Usher Featuring Pitbull, DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love
This week's highest new entry is a good solid Dance song. This should do very well in the clubs. On the Billboard Hot 100 charts, I think it'll do alright. I'm a little surprised it shot straight to 19 though.
So how did I do lasr week?
Right
Rick Ross Featuring Styles P, B.M.F (Blowin' Money Fast) - So far so good. It climbed to 82.
Wrong
Dierks Bentley, Up On The Ridge - I thought it had a better chance, but left the charts
The Band Perry, If I Die Young - It climbed 12 places, so I may have mis spoken about this one.
Undetermined
Fantasia, Bittersweet - I suppose time will tell on this one. It climbed only to 92.

Not Much This Week
There are only four new entries this week.
99. Dierks Bentley, Up On The Ridge
I like the Country drive the song has to offer. It keeps me listening. It isn’t the greatest Country song in the world, but It's not too bad either. I think this might last a couple of weeks.
98. Rick Ross Featuring Styles P, B.M.F (Blowin' Money Fast)
I think it's a good song for the Hip Hop style. It's got a great beat and pushes forward well. I think though that after a while the song gets a little tiring. I don’t think this will get too high, but might stay in the charts for a while.
94. Fantasia, Bittersweet
It's a nice ballad, and she has a terrific voice. I like the song. My favorite of the week. I think it'll do well. Not really much more to say.
92. The Band Perry, If I Die Young
It's this week's highest new entry. It's not a bad Country song. Not very original though. I thought the lyrics were a little cliché. As to where this will get, I don’t really think this will last on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. I don’t think it's got the staying power.
So how did I do last week?
Right:
3OH!3, I Can Do Anything - It left the charts.
WE the Kings Featuring Demi Lovato, We'll Be A Dream - So far, it's climbed to 84.
Chris Brown Featuring Tyga & Kevin McCall, Deuces - Dropped to 96.
Kanye West Featuring Dwele, Power - It has some stayng power even though it dropped to 29.
Wrong:
Josh Turner, All Over Me - It only climbed six places, but I could have been wrong on this one.
Lil Jon Featuring LMFAO, Outta Your Mind - I really liked this one. It left the charts.
Flo Rida Featuring David Guetta,Club Can't Handle Me - I thought this would do much better. It dropped to 89.
Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts - I thouhgt it would drop, it climbed to 57.
Undetermined:
Enrique Iglesias Featuring Juan Luis Guerra, Cuando Me Enamoro - I liked it, but didn't think it would do too well. It
only climbed to 93.

Kanye's Back and He Wants the Power
This week only there’s one entry per artist. Let’s see what they’re worth.
100. 3OH!3, I Can Do Anything
They’ve had quite a few hits and other less successful releases. I think this one belongs to the latter group. It’s just more of the same and not as good. I don’t predict a good future for this song.
99. Enrique Iglesias Featuring Juan Luis Guerra, Cuando Me Enamoro
I admit, I haven’t the slightest idea what he’s singing about. But musically the song has a nice tune to it. I’m not too sure of this. An english version would probably do well, but I don’t think this will last long.
97. Josh Turner, All Over Me
This has been in the Country charts for a while. It’s typical Country. It’s got a good beat, and good drive. Tune wise, it’s OK, nothing special, I don’t see this in the charts much longer.
95. WE the Kings Featuring Demi Lovato, We'll Be A Dream
There’s a nice tune going here. The production isn’t too bad either. The song has some emotional power here. I’m not too sure what this will do in the charts. On the one hand it’s a good song, but that has nothing to do with the charts. I think this will stick around for a while but not climb too high.
87. Chris Brown Featuring Tyga & Kevin McCall, Deuces
It starts off with a nice beat to hit. But I didn’t feel this was a very strong song. The chorus is very weak, IMO. I think this might have a couple of weeks on the charts.
84. Lil Jon Featuring LMFAO, Outta Your Mind
Now this one’s catchy. Far from a great song, but it’s definitely a feel good song for the clubs. I found myself singing the chorus after one hearing. This should get into the top 50, but I don’t think too high there.
65. Flo Rida Featuring David Guetta,Club Can't Handle Me
David Guatte’s had quite a few successful collaborations recently, and I think one is going to be another. It’s catchy, bouncy, well performed. It’s got everything that says Hit about it. It’s also my favorite of the week.
63. Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts
It’s a nice soft ballad, but really nothing we haven’t heard before. She has a beautiful voice, and really lets us feel the emotion. But I didn’t feel the song was that good. This might be here next week, but it probably will drop.
22. Kanye West Featuring Dwele, Power
This week’s highest new entry has a solid beat to it, and has some potential to it. It’s not particularly catchy, but there’s something to the song that makes me want to keep listening. This should stay in the charts for a while I think.
So how did I do last week?
Right:
Eminem, Cold Wind Blows – It wasn’t a very strong song, it left the charts.
Eminem Featuring Pink, Won't Back Down – Again, it sounded like too many other songs which were already in the charts. This one left.
Selena Gomez & The Scene, Round & Round – It was too high to start with, and it dropped to 48.
Eminem Featuring Lil Wayne, No Love – I had my suspicions, and it dropped all the way down to 67.
Wrong:
Eminem, 25 To Life – I’m surprised. This was one of the better songs he gave us last week. It left the charts.
Miley Cyrus, Stay – I really thought it would do well. It left the charts.
Sara Bareilles, King Of Anything – I thought it would drop, it climbed eight places.
Maroon 5, Misery – I still have hope for this song. It dropped 10 places.
Undetermined:
Adam Labert, If I Had You – I expected it to climb higher, but it only climbed nine spots.
Eminem Featuring Kobe, Talkin' 2 Myself – I said I wasn’t sure how it would do. It left the charts.
Eminem Featuring Rihanna, Love The Way You Lie – I wasn’t sure, I’m still not sure, and it’s in the same spot.
100. 3OH!3, I Can Do Anything
They’ve had quite a few hits and other less successful releases. I think this one belongs to the latter group. It’s just more of the same and not as good. I don’t predict a good future for this song.
