this week james blunt climes to the top of the chart with his song your beautiful making him the first non hip hop r and b or american idol contestent since Gwen Stefani and the first male rock song since Nickleback how you remind me in 2001

Woot!  :D

This is a big event in '00s hot 100 history, first time a non hip-hop or American Idol song (Hollaback Girl is kind of hip-hop in a way) has topped the hot 100 since "How You Remind Me" in early 2002. Yay for James Blunt.

who's James Blunt ???

Just now he's topped the Billboard Charts?

Heck, he's already been to the top of the Canadian charts :P

Never got James Blunt or that sort of music...so called 'alternative' music (as opposed to really innovative music). I'm not making an judgements here, just an opinion.

'Tis truly a great day for this great land of ours, but you know next week some dumbass rap song will be back at #1 because AMERICANS ARE FOOLS WHO WILL BUY ANYTHING*.


*not meant to reflect those Americans with a decent taste in music.

I bet it'll be "Grillz" ;D

Seeing that Ms. New Booty song at no. 21 makes me sick, that song is horrible.

Here in Canada, 'Talk' by Coldplay is #1.  'Who Says You Can't Go Home' by Bon Jovi is sitting at #2, and with any luck, it will knock Coldplay off the top spot

Never realised American charts were so dominated by hip-hop/R'n'B (our charts are as well, but not to that extent). The idea of a seperate chart for 'black music' now seems arcane.

True, not every song on the chart is great, but there is some really cool stuff around right now. I'm quite happy to see Daniel Powter doing well, for example...

Yea I agree. Most of the songs aren't bad really.

Run It by Chris Brown (R&B) is our current No. 1 single.  :P

Sing-Alongs And Lullabies: Songs For Curious George by Jack Johnson (Rock) is our current #1 Album

Infact, our album chart is looking pretty good!
1. Sing-Alongs And Lullabies: Songs For Curious George - Jack Johnson (Rock)
2. Back To Bedlam - James Blunt (Pop-Rock)
3. Based On A True Story - Fat Freddy's Drop (Reggae)
4. Ring Of Fire: The Legend Of - Johnny Cash (Country)
5. Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys (Rock) predict #1 next week
8. All The Right Reasons - Nickelback (Rock)
10. The Ultimate Collection - Eurythmics (New Wave)
13. The Very Best Of - UB40 (Reggae)
15. In Between Dreams - Jack Johnson (Rock)
and 17, 22, 25, 26, 28, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39.

That's 20 out of 40 non-rap/hiphop/r&b/pop albums in the chart. But who the hell buys singles anyway?

I don't really like James Blunt, but at least it's not some stupid rap song like "I'm Gettin' Down Wit a Blasian Stripper wit a New Booty on Crack."

I know he would make it one day.

Yay James!

Although he is called "James BLUNT", does that count as a hip hop element?  ;D

lol.

^Hollaback Girl is definitely hip hop, in fact I'd say all the solo Stefani singles are except "Cool", which is synth pop.

^Hollaback Girl is definitely hip hop, in fact I'd say all the solo Stefani singles are except "Cool", which is synth pop.


Yeah even though it is labeled as pop in most places, there is hip-hop pop just as there is hip-hop R&B and Hollaback Girl falls into the hip-hop pop category.

^Hollaback Girl is definitely hip hop, in fact I'd say all the solo Stefani singles are except "Cool", which is synth pop.


They made it big R&B definitely, but I think it's fair to say she was pop that crossed over to the R&B charts instead of the usual other way around at least. But, yeah, definitely agree, there's a lot of hip hop influence on her solo stuff.

^Hollaback Girl is definitely hip hop, in fact I'd say all the solo Stefani singles are except "Cool", which is synth pop.


And maybe "What You Waiting For", I never really thought hip-hop when I heard that. Luxurious and Hollaback definitely hip-hop though.

"What You Waiting For" sounds like a really warped Missing Persons song.

Currently, in our Canadian Top 20, there's like no R&B at all.  Mostly a mix of pop/rock and country ...

Ah! All these hip 'n' trendy 'new' songs!

I'm staying back in the 70s where it's safe!

I counted around 26 hip-hop or R&b songs, so about half the top 50 are hip-hop/r&b.

I don't really like James Blunt, but at least it's not some stupid rap song like "I'm Gettin' Down Wit a Blasian Stripper wit a New Booty on Crack."




You watch, that'll be an actual song someday.

I don't really like James Blunt, but at least it's not some stupid rap song like "I'm Gettin' Down Wit a Blasian Stripper wit a New Booty on Crack."
Thanks for the idea for new material for my next album.

I don't really like James Blunt, but at least it's not some stupid rap song like "I'm Gettin' Down Wit a Blasian Stripper wit a New Booty on Crack."

I'm with you.

I don't really like the way he sounds, but I'd certainly rather listen to him than rap & hip hop.

^Hollaback Girl is definitely hip hop, in fact I'd say all the solo Stefani singles are except "Cool", which is synth pop.

Yeah, "Cool" definitely has the pop sound to it. That's probably why it's the only solo song from Gwen that I actually like.

;D

Gwen Stefani does Madonna more than Coldplay does Radiohead.

I always make sure not to miss "You're Beautiful" whenever it's on!


GO JAMES!

I just dont get what people see in Blunt. The first few times I heard his songs on the radio I thought it was a girl with a bad cold singing.

I prefer male singers that actually sound like a man personally.

Had to laugh in my morning paper today - just a one line comment about him..... "James Blunt, so dull he could be the 21st century's answer to Chris De Burgh".

made me giggle !!!

I don't mind male singers with high voices as long as it isn't annoying!

His voice is perhaps TOO unique.  ;D

Is he related to NFL Hall of Famer Mel Blunt ? ???

LOLOLOL!  ;D I totally, totally, agree with that...when I first heard "You're Beautiful" it sounded like somebody running from a burning pike with a bad cold, duller than dull could be. I hate how there are no "real male" singers this decade, and no "real female" singers, even.

You're Beautiful - I've been hearing it for about a month now. Nice song and I like it, but I don't quite understand the slightly negative ending (implied suicide?) for the video.

Are the US Radio Stations playing the clean version or accidently playing the naughty version?

Some radio stations replace the lyric: "Yes she caught my eye as I walked on by. She could see on my face that I was f***in' high." with "...I was flying high"

The one with "f*cking high" as the lyrics is probably the album version

It's the single version too, just gets censored by radio for delicate ears ;)

The video has flying high.

Flying high is what I've heard. Radio would never play anything naughty.

His new single is dire, he manages to sing at 78rpm and  I just can't bare his darned voice.

Wisemen will be another great hit from James Blunt.

I can't tolerate his screaming and whineing

When I first heard him I thought he sounded a lot like Rod Stewart, only without the rasp.

You're Beautiful has been in and out of the UK top 40 7 times :o

His new song "Wisemen" has just entered our Canadian Charts at #94.  Hopefully it will rise to be a big hit for him O0

You're Beautiful has been in and out of the UK top 40 7 times :o
In the Top 75 charts, You're Beautiful is at 50, but I can see (yet) any reference to how many weeks.

I would like to see the Top 75 charts.

Seriously?

I love Rod Stewarts voice, it's very croaky compared to blunts screaming.

Whoa, Jeff.. you thought he sounded like Rod Stewart too? I heard his voice and didn't know who it was, and I thought it actually WAS Rod Stewart.

He gets overplayed, but he's a decent musician.

Rod Stewart sounds like somebody is standing on his throat.

James Blunt sounds like somebody grabbed him by the 'nads.

Ne Yo... it's a terribly boring song for me.. I suppose Pop Radio fans would enjoy it, though.. it's got all the characteristics of a boring, yet well-liked popular song.

[quote author=whis

It appears so.  Several world-wide hits 8)

[quote author=whis

Yep...

Here, besides the obvious "You're Beautiful," "Goodbye My Lover" spent one week on the Hot 100 at #100. It then fell off, but who knows, maybe it will re-enter...
It will hang around like here in the UK

Some updated James Blunt info in other charts ...

Its an Aussie comedian doing a routine over the top of the song and its hilarious !!!!

That was pretty funny.

Now what's "Boobalicious" ??

;D

Radio Essex has withdrawn his songs from their playlist.


I read that this week !!  How brilliant !!

Does he say it in the routine ?  I will have to listen again - I was laughing too loud thru it.

Boobalicious is mentioned on their home page. It looks like it some sort of odd charity event.

Why's that ?

It is a local radio station with a strong listenership.

He's become so unpopular (mostly with 'that' song), that his name has become part of 'cockney' rhyming slang...


(I'll leave your devious little minds to work out exactly what!)

Got it in a heartbeat, Paul.  ;D

A friend of the family who works in an HMV Record Store, tells me that when they played the album Back to Bedlam, the You're Beautiful track always had to be skipped for that naughty word in the song.

Seems like a sound idea to me!

Couldn't they have skipped the whole album?

That was my response when originally told.

Lets hope all the studios lock their doors so another album may not be recorded.

Another "The Lady in Red" ? No way.

The album Back to Bedlam is currently at #15 on Amazon.com. Which is not bad.

That one song is all I've ever heard by him, and "You're Beautiful" has its flaws -- lyrics are too passive and too simplistic -- but its affirmative hook ("You're Beautiful...you're beautiful, it's true"), its music and its "La-la" part keep it buoyant and interesting. I've even know of someone using the "You're Beautiful" part as their phone's ringtone.  ::)

Time will tell concerning that song's worth, but I'd still rather listen to it than say anything idiot Eminem has ever done.

(And on the radio here he says "I was flying high". Does he say something else elsewhere ?)

Oooh I heard them talking about it on air this morning. Its a Breast Cancer fundraising campaign and the main sponsor is Adultshop - a Perth company and Australia's only "adult products supplier" listed on the stock market. For each product ordered - a certain amount of dollars goes to the Breast Cancer Society.
I think the main event that was called Boobalicious - was a big fashion parade fundraiser. Looking thru the photos I see that it was hosted by my neighbour (see the Penguin thread about wanting to kill my annoying neighbour !) - the single most annoying git of a d grade "celebrity" this city has ! Actually - if there is a level of celebrity lower than D grade - pick that grade !

He is so annoying he probably listens to James Blunt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only on the radio editted version and when performing live on TV.
