The Singles Life

[dennis_obell]

Today on Idolator, I'm debuting a new feature for them, covering the ups and downs of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. God and my schedule willing, I'll be doing this for them every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

This week, I offer a quick primer on the Hot 100 and talk about Soulja Boy

also, i don't know if this is a common reference to britney spears and this is only the first time i've heard it, or if you coined this genius phrase, but "ms waterloo in vegas" made me laugh out loud.

Aw, shucks

I did come up with that one! How about that - go me! You're making me blush, thanks.

I needed something new and Vegas-related, but the what-happens-in/stays-in shtick had been beaten into the ground.

perhaps my only piece of constructive criticism is that there wasn't nearly enough fergie-bashing. i still dislike her music, and this "big girls don't cry" nightmare isn't earning her any points in my book. she was at #5 and therefore a prime target! you should be bringing up the pee-pants incident at every possible opportunity. i need a column at idolator that is entitled "fergie sucks" in which i just post that picture of her with the wet spot in her pants every week.

Down with Fergie

Oh, don't worry, Hating On Fergie™ is basically a perennial activity on Idolator. Although you're right, we could use more appearances of the pee-pants picture.

Maura, the editor, and I have both been talking about how much we hate "Big Girls Don't Cry" both online and off.
