Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, October 2002

In some strange way this sums up a lot of 2002 for me--though the balance is off. It's rock-heavier than usual, I think that's why.

I voted for Toby Keith.

(Put in to fix the year, btw.)

abstain

(naw, actually there a few alright songs here. voting for Pastor Troy just because.)

"Girl Talk" is really dope, despite the general doomed fate of that iteration of TLC and the slight tackiness of them continuing as a duo

this is a horrible month isn't it?

feel like i remember 3 of these songs, might vote for las ketchup

actually gonna vote for santana

yea i went that nirvana song somewhat as a default

...

c'mon vote Europeans

"die another day" is my favourite post-erotica madonna single, one of my favourite madonna videos and probably my favourite bond theme. knife-sharp strings that morph into electric shocks, odd clattering footstep beats, genuinely strange vocal treatment that makes the metaphysical lyrics seem compelling rather than embarrassing, "SIGMUND FREUD...ANALYSE THIS", "UH...UH...haha...i need to lay down." easily one of the weirdest singles that any mainstream pop star has released.

did it strike you as strange at the time, or more like "oh another Madonna single"? just curious.

lol @ that Nirvana song

not mindblowingly strange, as it was obviously an extension of what she'd been doing with mirwais for a few years before it, and a lot of its odder qualities (eg lyrics) could be connected to it being a bond theme. as a standalone song in retrospect though, it's pretty o_0

Las Ketchup over Toby. McGraw pro-choice song is great, though.

"React" is still my favorite Just Blaze beat.

"Die Another Day" >> "Lose Yourself" >>>> "You Know You're Right" >>> "Jenny From the Block" >>> "Who's Your Daddy"

"Girl Talk" is better than you remember.

ugh benzino

"Girl Talk" is really dope, despite the general doomed fate of that iteration of TLC and the slight tackiness of them continuing as a duo

This is OTM; there are some ferocious jams on that album.

"Dirty Dirty" FTW.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

i nvr liked that em song and idg what is bad abt that nirvana song other than courtneys stupid hyping of it

it's not a bad song it's just weak to look at a snapshot of 2002 and hone in on the part beamed in from 1994
