Ten weeks into the new year and we finally have a new number one (yay!). But it's kind of lame (oh!). And there are still 4 songs from last year in the top ten (gee!). One of which is "Apologize", which has now been in the top ten for 22 weeks (oh my god!). Another of which is "No One", which has put in 20 weeks (is there no justice in the world?).

OK, I'll stop now.

(thank you)

As for debuts, the interesting stuff includes Erykah Badu's "Honey" and Raheem DeVaughn's "Woman", both steeped in 70s soul, but each coming from a totally different direction; another Britney Spear's single, this one not about Spears vs. the paparazzi (or BS vs BS), and hence not very interesting, and a bad country power ballad from a group whose only interest is their name: Lady Antebellum. Does that mean they long for the glorious trouble-free days of the pre-civil war south, complete with slavery? And you thought Toby Keith was a throwback.
