Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, March 2002

"Don't Let Me Get Me."

nappy roots, easy

"the middle" would be close, also "pass the courvoisier" & "i need a girl"

Top ten:

Nappy Roots - Awnaw - Atlantic - 3/9/02 - 97
Maxwell - This Woman's Work - Columbia - 3/16/02 - 75
Busta Rhymes ft. P. Diddy & Pharrell - Pass the Courvoisier - J - 3/2/02 - 85
Musiq - halfcrazy - Def Soul - 3/23/02 - 81
Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You - J - 3/23/02 - 92
Ms. Jade - Feel the Girl - Beat Club/Interscope - 3/30/02 - 98
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle - DreamWorks - 3/16/02 - 71
X-Ecutioners - It's Goin' Down - Loud/Columbia - 3/9/02 - 93
Pink - Don't Let Me Get Me - Arista - 3/9/02 - 60
Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes - Epic - 3/16/02 - 70

I remember liking the Knocturnal joint but can't remember a thing about it

The Middle

i stopped reading at the middle, but dont let me get me is also pretty good

Yeah, "The Middle," easily. "Pass the Courvosier" is a distant second.

Going with Shakira.

Also like the Alan Jackson and Pink.

A bunch here I should probably go back and check again someday:

Avant - Makin' Good Love - MCA - 3/23/02 - 74
Celine Dion - A New Day Has Come - Epic - 3/2/02 - 73
Darren Hayes - Insaitable - Columbia - 3/2/02 - 81
Maxwell - This Woman's Work - Columbia - 3/16/02 - 75
Ms. Jade - Feel the Girl - Beat Club/Interscope - 3/30/02 - 98
Nappy Roots - Awnaw - Atlantic - 3/9/02 - 97
Naughty by Nature ft. 3LW - Feels Good (Don't Worry Bout a Thang) - TVT - 3/30/02 - 93
Travis Tritt - Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde - Columbia Nashville - 3/30/02 - 73

Actually, come to think of it, I did recheck both of these as part of the Poptimists poll a month ago, and liked both of them; can't say they ever much stick with me, though:

Celine Dion - A New Day Has Come
Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

Pink, followed by Alan Jackson.

maxwell then jimmy eat world

i was listening to a LOT of radio around this time and have fond memories of even the songs on here that i don't think are especially great ("Halfcrazy," "Feel The Girl," "Crawling In The Dark," "Feels Good," "Wrong Impression," "For You"), but ultimately i went for "A Thousand Miles" narrowly over "Awnaw."

I'm honestly shocked that you guys like that Vanessa Carlton nonsense.

I'm honestly shocked you guys like any of these awful songs.

hi, Mr. Snrub

is my jam.

I'm honestly shocked that you guys like that Vanessa Carlton nonsense.

Well, if it helps any, I was shocked that I liked it, too.

Btw, too late, but I'm already wishing I'd gone with "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" here instead of "Underneath Your Clothes"; the former just strikes me as more of a real single, though there's a chance I'd think differently if I wasn't such a Laundry Service fan.

i'm not exchanging V-Car for the retards, top 5 girl pop jam of the decade no doubt

weekday bump

that diamonds commercial actually ruined "A Thousand Miles" for me

"The Middle"

bump again

a nice selection of half-remembered trax here, none really leapt out so i had to go back and remind myself of a few, and v pleasant it was. "wish i didn't miss you" is so much better than i remember - think that shades it, just, over "awnaw" and "underneath your clothes", then "a thousand miles" and the sorely underrated "no matta what" round out a pretty great top 5.

must admit i didn't expect to be voting for angie stone more than once in this series! i don't even have any of her albums from this period. i should prob rectify that.

The new single's helped, hasn't it?

The dance remix of "Wish I Didn't Miss You" is like on "It's Not Right But It's Okay" levels of flat-out awesome

hmm i should probably give that one a relisten too, didn't pay attention/don't remember how it goes. have never really been actively into a.stone, perhaps i should have been

i also need this dance remix then!!

this is the one I was thinking of, there are a surprising number of these on Youtube

The dance remix of "Wish I Didn't Miss You" is like on "It's Not Right But It's Okay" levels of flat-out awesome

Yes! So huge. So gay.

that is LARGE

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This Pound Boys one is the killer Angie Stone remix. The "all you wanna do is smoke chronic" loop! The bassline! The drums! And so on.

ehh, it's alright but she's had a few better in the past

lol @ the X-Ecutioners - I had forgotten "It's Goin' Down" ever existed

voted for "The Middle"

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

"The Middle" is by far my least favorite of the 4 singles off that album, but it's still pretty good -- definitely one of the best (only?) guitar solos to grace a Hot 100 hit in the last decade
