Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, September 2002

But really just one: "Work It," which I voted for.

I remember a lot of people coming in to ask for 'India Air' CDs at this time.

This is probably my favorite music video of all time btw, such good feelings every time, for "Love of My Life":

1 like i love you
2 work it
3 when the last time
4 the streets
5 my friends over you (warped tour 2003 lets goooo)
6 love of my life (an ode to hip hop)
7 sk8r boi
8 objection (tango)

don't really care for anything else

yeah that video is amazing -- badu's rap is ^____________^ 4 all time

totally agree w/ j0rdan's rankings

:D

torn between "Sk8r Boi" and "My Town" and "When The Last Time" and "Love Of My Life" and "Like I Love You" and "My Friends Over You"

instead of waiting for "Work It" to win I'll get my challops out of the way now and say I think it's a middling Missy single and really nothing special

Oh really. I would never have guessed that.

Trying to think if there's one pop moment of the 2000s I prefer to "DRUMS!" and coming up blank

Justin Timberlake - Like I Love You - Jive - 9/7/02 - 67
Missy Elliott - Work It - The Gold Mind/Elektra - 9/14/02 - 75
Norah Jones - Don't Know Why - Blue Note - 9/28/02 - 78
Clipse - When the Last Time - Star Trak/Arista - 9/14/02 - 85
Christina Aguilera - Dirrty - RCA - 9/21/02 - 67
Erykah Badu ft. Common - Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop) - MCA - 9/7/02 - 94
WC ft. Nate Dogg - The Streets - Def Jam - 9/28/02 - 96
Musiq - Dontchange - Def Soul - 9/7/02 - 75
Shakira - Objection (Tango) - Epic - 9/7/02 - 68
Kelly Rowland - Stole - Music World - 9/28/02 - 76

can't believe sarges and tape store don't f/w "Dirrty"

Then again, that's one of those songs I don't think I ever liked until I was old enough to go to clubs.

Dirrty was such an underrated period for Christina, hope her new album captures some of that magic.

Would rep for all the pop songs here btw

Christina Aguilera - Dirrty - RCA - 9/21/02 - 67
Clipse - When the Last Time - Star Trak/Arista - 9/14/02 - 85
Common ft. Erykah Badu - Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop) - MCA - 9/7/02 - 94
Kelly Rowland - Stole - Music World - 9/28/02 - 76
Missy Elliott - Work It - The Gold Mind/Elektra - 9/14/02 - 75
Shakira - Objection (Tango) - Epic - 9/7/02 - 68

These are the songs on here I love (and no, I am not voting "Stole")

i just love your
braaaiiiin

Missy obviously.

Really, we should just vote for second place this time. I'd go with Montgomery Gentry, then Shakira, then probably Justin or Dixie Chicks though they've got some competition. I should probably catch up with Avant and with early '00s Vandross singles someday.

i voted clipse but i somehow didnt see the timberlake listed at first glance

early '00s Vandross singles someday.

Not missing much.

Went for Justin over Missy and Lavigne because, reviewing it for that Stylus one-off earlier this year, it still sounded so damn fresh, like he could go anywhere he wanted.

That U2 song (kinda forgotten now) is actually one of their more tolerable latter-day anthems.

gah should've voted "dirrty" - that ascending holler with which xtina ushers redman in is still O_O

it seems rather quaint to think that "dirrty" was considered shockingly whorish at the time

I think that rep came more from the video and her image at the time than the song itself.

it is pretty whorish

xp yeah, but even the video/image don't seem particularly whorish by today's standards

um yeah, I don't think I can actually agree with that

xp you're kidding me right?

like watching the opening sequence with the panties & chaps on a motorcycle ending with her marching around in bra and panties getting ready to beat up another woman in a similar outfit and remembering things like Redman punching a furry in the face and her frolicking with dancers on a bathroom floor...

you forgot that the whole thing was set in like a public shower of some sort

in Thailand

idk i actually find the amount of writhing and skin habitually shown these days regardless of whether the song demands it or not to be far...more depressing, i guess, than "dirrty", which just seems like your average PCDs stage show nowadays (with extra mud)

can you post an example of what you're talking about?

maybe 2?

also the thing is, there was no real transition from "genie in a bottle"-era xtina (despite that song's dirtiness) to "dirrty"-era xtina -- she went straight from "i'm wearing jeans, but you can still see my stomach" to "SEX BOMB IN MY ASSLESS CHAPS, UUNNGGGHH" and it was pretty whorish

the desperation of the whole thing intensifies the garishness of the actual aesthetic

actually I think I need to see 5 or 6 examples before I can really understand where you're coming from

xp Yeah, it even managed to overshadow the fact that "Dirrty" is a total jam.

lol @ Dan

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

wow this must be around the time I stopped paying attention to pop music because the only tracks I know are "Work It" and "Sk8r Boi" (guess which one I'm voting for)

I underrated that Clipse joint at the time because it didn't live up to "Grindin'" but I heard it at a club recently and it was perfect.

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