Now That's What I Call A Music Poll! Vol. 30 (U.S.)

Kanye West – "Heartless"
Ne-Yo – "Miss Independent"
John Legend featuring André 3000 – "Green Light"
Rihanna – "Rehab"

these four amongst the rest of this shit is a pretty decent indicator of how many miles ahead radio r&b is than everything else on the dial

Christina Aguilera – "Keeps Gettin' Better"

what the hell is this

anyway my rankings are

6 gives you hell
5 rehab
4 just dance
3 green light
2 heartless
1 miss independent

I used to like "Green Light," but one day a switch was flipped and now it makes my skin crawl. Unexplainable. I'm willing to be persecuted for this, but my vote goes to "Just Dance."

"Miss Independent" and "Green Light" are the only songs here I even kinda like. Voted for the former.

That's only even about a 7/10 to me.

you don't like saving abel?

never even heard of them

In a compilation dominated by manufactured kidpop, went for "Womanizer" because it is actually a brilliant example of the genre as its best for once.

No, it's not. Far from.

LOVE STORY

Very very easy: "Womanizer."

No, it's not. Far from.

I would say it is. Surely not as good as Annie or Kylie Minogue, but they aren't really manufactured in the same way either. And it is lightyears better than any contemporary R&B.

voted 'Just Dance' so sue me.

Geir, it isn't even good as far as Britney Spears goes.

It is much better than what she used to do in the past. Hopefully she will stay with the 80s style forever, because it is lightyears better than the R&B/hip-hop stuff she did in the early noughties, and also considerably better than the Max Martin style she did initially. "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Me Against The Music" remains the absolute lows of her career, with "Toxic" not much ahead. All staccato, way too minimalistic and generally horrible.

"Love Story," "Crush" and "Rehab" are the best.

My girlfriend voted for Jason Mraz before I could stop her...

not a huge fan of "Miss Independent" or "Green Light." or any of these songs for that matter.

they must not be releasing these at the same rate they used to because keeps gettin better? i swear that peaked last summer or something.

I am pretty sure they don't release them at the same rate they used to. Digital downloading (legal and illegal alike) of single tracks has decreased the market of compilations like these considerably.

I have not heard a single one of these.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Womanizer". Current chartpop is maybe a bit better than it has been for a while. Generally the US audience has a worse taste in music than the European audiences though. Way too much R&B.

1. i hate this part
2. love story
3. miss independent
4. rehab
5. green light

then the rest

Womanizer and Just Dance seemed pretty mediocre when I first heard them but they grew on me.

1 Britney Spears – "Womanizer"
2 Lady GaGa featuring Colby O'Donis – "Just Dance"
3 Rihanna – "Rehab"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

who the hell voted for 'just dance'

just die

harsh

The better question is "who the hell voted for Nickelback?"

even better question: "who the hell voted for xtina?"

i can't believe 'womanizer' and 'just die' got more votes than 'love story' and 'i hate this part' - the latter two are all-timers :(

oh, btw, you're sooooooo OTM about "Amnesia," lex

didn't know it was over/til you came on over

britney is so EASY on it

Muhfuckers really voted for Nickleback and Jason Mraz???????? And I'm the only one who voted "Green Light?

womanizer is shit

would've voted for "sober" or "i hate this part".

revive

nearly 10 of these are classics and i hate womanizer 4 all time
