TODAY'S POP MUSIC

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and fuck you Chris Rock as we live in America and as Americans united we celebrate together all races but you seem to want to live in the past.  So fuck you....now to why I wrote this today

I read this article this morning where Adele's '21' is leading 2012 album sales with  her take being more than the combined total of the next four albums and is the only title to exceed sales of 1 million copies.  So what does this mean other than the obvious?  POP MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY DEAD.

How can an album that came out in early 2011 still be dominating album charts?

Well lets look at the rest of the Top 5 and this will explain a LOT.

and keep an eye out for NUMBER 5

_____________________________

1. Adele, 21 

    (3.67 mil) 

CLASSIC ALBUM and should sell a ton since its real music and an incredible voice.  This is what music needs all of the time.

_________________________________________________

 2. Lionel Richie, Tuskegee 

    (0.91 mil)

This is Lionel Richie teaming up with very popular country artists for a duets album featuring ALL of his biggest hits.  This better do well as its basically a Greatest Hits album and country music is very popular.

_________________________________________________

3. One Direction, Up All Night 

    (0.90 mil) 

This group is a worldwide sensation and every teenage girl in the world loves them so they better sell like N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys.  But 900K as big as they are makes me laugh.

                                                   _________________________________________________

4. Whitney Houston, The Greatest Hits    (0.82 mil)

Again a Greatest Hits album by one of the most successful women artists in music history and she just died to increase her fan base and make her music that much more in demand.  What is funny is that this was released in 2000 and probably didn't do very well.

5. Various artists, Now 41 

     (0.71 million)

Now THIS is what I was waiting to talk about as this album and the previous 40 sell like crazy because it is an album with ONE hit by each of today's artists.  Which tells me that NO ONE in pop music has any depth to make more than one or two good songs so the rest of the album sucks.  I think its both as today music is ALL regurgitated and all sounds the same.  And why wouldn't kids buy this as it has 20 songs from the radio instead of having to buy 20 different shitty albums. This album sums the current state of pop music perfect and I will give an example of each song just to further prove my point, if I can stomach listening to the songs.

SONG LIST  IN ORDER

1. LMFAO, "Sexy and I Know It" - GOOD GOD these guys are a fucking joke to music and they have that shitty club beat that sounds like every gay anthem out there.  They are the Chumbawumba and Right Said Fred of today's generation.  ONE OF MANY GAY CLUB SONGS THAT ALL SOUND THE SAME ON THIS LIST

2. Katy Perry, "The One That Got Away"   "Summer after high school when we first met, making out in your Mustang to Radiohead"  UGH this is the same dumb beat over the entire song...sounds forced and quite honestly Katy Perry is not as bad as most music because at least she can make fun of herself.  STILL A SHITTY SONG.

3. Lady Gaga, "Marry the Night"  And here we go again with the club beat anthem by Lady GayGay....she is the champion of gay people and that is fine but she is such a joke and a Madonna copycat it makes me laugh at her poor attempts.  FUCK THIS PIECE OF CRAP SONG.

4. Jessie J, "Domino" OK this has the same beat and almost the same type of chorus as every Katy Perry song...prove me wrong 

5. Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine, "Stereo Hearts"  Great another song with half singing and half rapping.  And you gotta love a tatted up Adam Levine singing like a girl.

6. T-Pain featuring Lily Allen, "5 O’Clock"  WOW another half rap half singing song.  And it is a slow rap with clapping noise and slow bass. And go figure it as a collaboration AND it has the autotune feature which is a staple of most shitty music today.

7. J. Cole, "Work Out" Correct me if I am wrong but this is the same song as #6 right. SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME

8. Pitbull featuring Chris Brown, "International Love" - GO FIGURE another club anthem that goes up and down with same repetitive beats and the "oh oh oh whoa" OH and ANOTHER half rap half singing song.....I think this is a trend.

I CANNOT GO ANY FURTHER AS THIS IS THE WORST.

Breathe Carolina, "Blackout" 
Selena Gomez and the Scene, "Love You Like a Love Song" 
Gavin DeGraw, "Not Over You" 
Coldplay, "Paradise" 
Adele, "Someone Like You" 
Nickelback, "Lullaby" 
Luke Bryan, "I Don’t Want this Night to End" 
Toby Keith, "Red Solo Cup"

BONUS TRACKS: “NOW What’s Next” New Music Preview: 
Sammy Adams, "Blow Up" 
Hunter Hayes, "Somebody’s Heartbreak" 
Susan Justice, "Eat Dirt" 
The Wanted, "Glad You Came"

___________________________________________

Now what have we learned is club beats, half rap/half singing, whoa oh oh oh as most of your lyrics, collaborations and autotune is what sells.  Oh and naming cities such as Miami and New York works well.  OH and target gay people since they make up about 5% percent of the population of the US.

I AM FUCKING DONE...I hope this opened your eyes and ears to how bad it is today.  

ENJOY a REAL TUNE!!!! from a very underrated Black Sabbath album

Black Sabbath - Back Street Kid (1976) 




















and BONUS LIVE VAN HALEN from 1983


Van Halen - Mean Streets (LIVE 1983)
