Morning!

17 hours may have been my best showing

poorpete

SWISH! Didn't cheat I promise, maybe I have some kind of extrasensory postception Double-up RiRi, RiRi Double-up! Usher (2004, 1/2) TLC (1995, 2/3) Santana (2000, 2/3) Nelly (2002, 3/4) John Cougar (1982, 7/8) Ace of Base (1994, 9/10) Chris Brown (2008, 9/10) Ja Rule (2002, 12/13) Usher (1998, 15/1...

poorpete

I'd be surprised if RiRi doesn't double up at some point, but then again Mariah never did...

poorpete

Wow. That was only in 2008? Why does it feel so much older? It doesn't age well. We've come a long way towards gay acceptance since 2008. 2008 is the year of equivocating in gay rights history, and this fits right in. 1. Same sex marriage starts AND ends in California 2. Obama is elected and at the...

poorpete

I used to be a big fan of Coldplay although I rarely listen to them now -- but holds up alright

poorpete

I dunno if I've heard a Rihanna piano ballad before -- tho maybe more will appear that I have

poorpete

double double doubt it's worth the trouble Usher (2004, 1/2) TLC (1995, 2/3) Santana (2000, 2/3) Nelly (2002, 3/4) John Cougar (1982, 7/8) Ace of Base (1994, 9/10) Chris Brown (2008, 9/10) Ja Rule (2002, 12/13) Usher (1998, 15/16) Usher (2002, 15/16) LL Cool J (1996, 20/21) 50 Cent (2003, 20/21) Ma...

poorpete

Oh no, Chris Brown double'd up? Ugh, let me find my list...

poorpete

Silly song but some fantastic synths

poorpete

Goooood stuffffff

She's good in what I've seen of Girls5eva too

poorpete

Listened to this since Jordin is the lead. First listen and it's pretty darn impressive.

poorpete

The apex of the Timmy's "I can do everything" era. A few years before he worked with The Hives. A year earlier he worked with Bjork. I think Max Martin has had a bigger era, but Max is always interested in the perfect pop song, while Timmy always seemed interested in making the best song.

poorpete

Pretty good -- but I admit a bit easy to dismiss. I'd suggest checking out Dr. Carter which he also released in 08, which is epic in its scope (and is produced by Alicia Keys' beau Swizz Beatz)

poorpete

Uhhhhj, she's great and this is great

poorpete

Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty good.

poorpete

And the party dudes are back

poorpete

Those 808s are pretty loud in the mix, but kinda works -- gives it a DIY feel (same with the video). References the doublemint twins. Good stuff!!

poorpete

[insert that one green guy emoji I hated and is no longer available but would be apt given this song's title]

The song's feminist message is tempered by it being cowritten by a creep and the music video is directed by a man and is a bit male gazey

poorpete

First appearance by The Robots!

In case you never heard the original, which blew my mind in 2000...

poorpete

Skittering synths, falsetto vocals, mouth beats, weird samples. So much silly fun!

poorpete

O k a y y y y

poorpete

Seriously can't stop watching, I guess Missy's my BTS

poorpete

Hey, local band from my area goes big for a little bit! Saw them a few times in their pre-fame days...

Missy's "Lose Control" autoplayed after. It knows what I want!

poorpete

Pre YouTube but shows what it's like to go viral on TikTok. Love those classic embeds!

Whoops, 2 years into YouTube, but point stands.

poorpete

So much spelling

poorpete

Rock as a genre would often pride itself on both moving forwards and backwards at the same time. Trying out new sounds and ideas also searching for a raw, emotional sound. I feel for the last few decades it's been in a kind of stasis. No doubt a generalization. And hey people like what they like. Co...

poorpete

Could get mad that it's allllll bragging, but there's benefits to liking yourself and singing songs that make you feel the way he does. Pride is a deadly sin, but like so is gluttony but you still need to eat, and likewise pride in moderation can be a good thing. So I guess I'm slightly ok with this...

poorpete

Was feeling good about how much I've known still, but had no idea there was someone called Akon nor that he seems to have been huge --- at least this year....

poorpete

Look at this guy wearing a tie and then not wearing a tie

poorpete

Ehhhh, uggggh, yyyyyyy no.

poorpete

Pretty good!

poorpete

Alright.

poorpete

another good collab

poorpete

Man brags about making poor money decisions but it's all good because he wanna love you

poorpete

Singer songwriters still doing their thing

poorpete

Just watched it again.

This is a solid song, and makes me think of a programer deeming songs like this a tomato
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato-gate

poorpete

2. 40 year old virgin

poorpete

Beyonce, Rhianna, Gwen, Fergie

Pretty much how I'd rank them musically. For the songs, I'd put Umbrella up top. Good to see women dominating.

poorpete

I think another I only knew from commercials -- this is good! I hear some classic Supremes sound in here, as well as some Madonna, but also very 00s too.

poorpete

I'd call this iconic if not for her next-level work a decade later.

poorpete

Waaacky monster ballad

poorpete

The wiggles are hard core

poorpete

Here's my favorite Snow Patrol song, available on a children's album called Colours Are Brighter, one of three albums I had imported from the UK in my lifetime because it wasn't available-- still not available here.

poorpete

Does Umbrella blow up next year or do we have a few more years? Anticipation...

poorpete

Another video that starts fine and then zooms in way too much ruining the music video experience but I guess this random got some cash from people clicking on it

poorpete

This video may have made me into a photosensitive viewer. Minutes later, I'm still having issues.

poorpete

They love their California.
Fun video!

poorpete

I mean it's joyous and fun, no matter that it's a clear attempt to make a Hollaback Girl and crib the MIA vibe. Speaking of, I assume were not getting any MIA on this list, are we?

poorpete

Not quite pop not quite dance rock not quite post hardcore not quite post grunge. Wanted to dismiss, but it's... pretty good!
