| Tina Arena continues to amaze, this week leaping 23-8 on the TrackList with "I'm Gone". In a mere three weeks it has become her tenth Top 10 hit. If it keeps up at this pace, it could very well become her third No. 1. A bit further down, at No. 26, Gwen Stefani is the Top Debut with her first solo single, "What You Waiting For?", while U2's "Vertigo" settles for a No. 34 bow. At No. 50, the third and final new entry is "Just Like Me", by Holly Valance, thus far the year's biggest artist when it comes to the J-SKWD lists. In fact, her State Of Mind CD, which debuted this past February, is still holding strong at No. 2 -- in week 31. (I guess I should point out that "Just" isn't a new song, but in fact a bonus track from the Japanese edition of Mind.) | ||||
| The albums list continues to remain boring, I know, with Tina Arena taking a third week at No. 1. But as people may have guessed by now, I'm more a singles person than an albums person. In fact, my music listening habits? I listen to my CDs as I would a radio station...where I choose the playlist. I load my 60 CD-changer with mostly compilation CD's of new music (and, of course, a few "real" albums) and go back and forth to different CD's to listen to (mostly) newer and recent singles. A guestimate of what I listen to the most or just plain like the most is how I compose the TrackList. ...Wow. I just got all personal on your asses! | ||||
| Since I've run out of music stuff to talk about, let's move on to…TV! How's the new season so far? Well, pretty good, I'd say. Here's a brief breakdown on a few new shows: Jack & Bobby: intelligent mix of political and family drama: A-, Desperate Housewives: clever, engagingly dark and very funny: A-, Veronica Mars: fun, involving and smarter than your average teen drama-comedy-mystery: B+, Lost: dazzlingly intense, well-acted and -produced...gets more interesting each week: A, Kevin Hill: sweet and amusing, but the NYPD Blue-style camerawork is sometimes nauseating: B+, CSI: NY: more of the same, only less interesting: C+, Joey: funnier than I expected, better every week, with a great cast: B+. So, there ya have it...my opinions on some new shows. I know you didn't ask, but oh well. : P | ||||
