State of music.

In a very sad, disappointing week, "Easy" from the Sugababes has plummeted to No.16 after spending only ONE week in the top 10 last week....at No.8 of all positions.

I suppose I saw this coming. The video and the download all came out far too soon before the actual single release. By the time the single actually came out I was already slightly getting over the song. But still. For a group that has managed to reach No.1 three consecutive times with the lead singles from their albums, it's disappointing. It's a travesty, because "Easy" is undoubtedly one of the year's best pop songs.

What else...Girls Aloud got to No.1 a few weeks ago with their greatest hits CD, which is always enjoyable. Beyonce's new single "Irreplaceable" is surprisingly doing slightly well on both sides of the Atlantic, which is disappointing because it's complete rubbish. I was certainly praying that EVERY track from her album would flop so that she could finally shut the hell up and re-evaluate her life and her music and her hair, but it seems my dreams of failure for Ms. Knowles could be crushed.

Even if "Irreplaceable" does become the album's biggest hit, I'll still find a way to scrutinize the whole thing. "Oh wow, one top three single when your last CD had two consecutive No.1's. Oh wow, you're still putting out crap videos and crap songs. Oh wow, I still can't stand you". Anyway, you get the idea.

What's next in the pop world....Girls Aloud's Christmas single is "I Think We're Alone Now", yes, the same song by fire-crotched singer who danced around in malls during the '80s. I've heard the Aloud version, and...ya, not one of their finer moments. Have any of their covers been particularly good? "Jump", "I'll Stand By You", "See the Day"...yeah, not really.

Gwen Stefani still has the crappiest song of the past two months...or however long it's been since people finally stopped listening to a certain "London Bridge" fuck-shit by a certain walrus who calls herself "Fergie". Speaking of the Fergie-Ferg, "Fergalicious".....ha. I've heard 70-year-olds taking a shit in your closet sound better than that song.

That's all I can muster up for now. Stay tuned.
