Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, July 2001

"Izzo" for me.

Ditto "Izzo."

damn i have no idea what to vote

both "can't deny it" & "i'm a thug" really mean a lot to me

1 cant deny it
2 i'm a thug
3 rock show
4 one minute man
5 izzo
6 family affair
7 bad boy for life

is that version of "i'm real" not the one w ja rule?

blink for challops

voted for Blink

I couldn't wait for the summer at the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw her there.

"rock show" has a great bridge -- blink were somehow exceptional at writing bridges

Voted for Jayz cos my masculinity feels threatened by Missy.

rock show is great but i couldnt not vote cant deny it

blink were pretty great at a lot of things

i totally remember loving "bad boy for life" at the time. not sure what to vote for now

All "Izzo" all the time.

<3 The Way

I'm no MJB stan but Family Affair by 100,000 miles

is that version of "i'm real" not the one w ja rule?

si, the shitty pre-remix version

this is all about "Can't Deny It" vs. "One Minute Man" for me, much as I love "I'm A Thug" and "Bad Boy" and "Contagious"

Back then Billboard had an asinine policy of not counting remixes as new songs (cf. "Ignition") so a vote for this is as close as you can get to a vote for the remix.

Ron: What the hell is going on between the sheets in my home?
Chante: Baby wait let me explain before you start to point your cane
Ron: Girl I'm bout to have a fit
R.: Oh it's about to be some shit. How did I get in to this? Should have never came home with this bitch
Ron: You lowdown dirty woman, back to where you come from
Chante: But baby wait
Ron: But wait my ass. Hit the streets your ass is grass
R.: Now Mister Biggs before your done
Ron.: Wait how you know my name son?
Chante: Honey wait I was gonna tell ya
Ron: Move this cat looks real familiar. Hmmm? Now don't I know you from somewhere a long time ago?
R.: No no I don't think so.
Ron.: Yea yea, I feel I know you brother very well.
R.: No No you mistaken me for somebody else.
Chante: Frank!
Ron: Shut up! Can't you see two men are talkin?
Chante: But!
Ron: Thought I told yo ass to get to walkin! Now I think ya'll better leave this place, cause I'm about to catch a case.

Top ten:

The Isley Brothers - Contagious - DreamWorks - 7/14/01 - 68

Trick Daddy - I'm a Thug - Slip-n-Slide/Atlantic - 7/21/01 - 99
Fabolous ft. Nate Dogg - Can't Deny It - Desert Storm/Elektra - 7/21/01 - 98

Mary J. Blige - Family Affair - MCA - 7/28/01 - 76
Ludacris ft. Nate Dogg - Area Codes - Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam South - 7/14/01 - 84

Oh wait, replace Luda with "Sandstorm"

Back then Billboard had an asinine policy of not counting remixes as new songs (cf. "Ignition") so a vote for this is as close as you can get to a vote for the remix.

did this really change, though, and when? I can think of a lot of times in recent years when two versions of a song were popular or a remix was bigger than the original but Billboard still gave it one entry ("I'm A Flirt" credited to R. Kelly OR Bow Wow, "Wasted" featuring Plies OR OJ Da Juiceman, "I'm So Hood," etc.)

I think their policy now is if the remix is different enough from the original as to be considered an entirely different song (as in the case of "I'm Real" or "Ignition") then it is listed seperately. Obviously there are questions as to where one draws that line.

iirc "Ignition" was pretty much the reason why they changed that policy.

Yeah, that's how I remember it too.

interesting. i'd love to see some examples of songs with remixes that have had separate chart entries since then, trying to think if i ever have and am coming up blank.

1. sandstorm
2. one minute man
3. differences
4. i'm real (murder remix)
5. izzo (h.o.v.a.)
6. area codes
7. family affair
8. i'm a thug

ENYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eeeeeekk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

ugh "Izzo" is so fuckin overrated

i think it's way better than you give it credit for but it doesn't deserve to lord over the rest of these songs like so

Right this sec I'd most like to hear Area Codes or One Minute Man, but it's only fair to admit that if I hadn't worn Izzo into the ground a long LONG time ago, it would win in a heartbeat.
