And finally, Not Afraid by Eminem drops to #10.

To start our losses, Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus leaves the top 10 to 18. Carry Out by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake drops to 48. Baby by Justin Bieber and Ludacris loses to 50. Solo by Iyaz drops to 79. Ain't Back Yet by Kenny Chesney loses to 85. Touchin On My by 3OH!3 plummets to 89. Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold THANKFULLY falls hard to 94. Finally, Not Myself Tonight by Christina Augilera drops to 95. 


Notable dropouts this week are Say Something by Timbaland and Drake, Blah Blah Blah by Kesh and 3OH!3, and Today Was A Fairytale by Taylor Swift locking for the year end list, where Steady Mobbin by Young Money and Gucci Mane, A Little More Country Than That by Easton Corbin, and Backwoods by Justin Moore all fell short. 


The only return this week is You And Your Heart by Jack Johnson at 99.


To start our gains, Undo It by Carrie Underwood gains big to 25. Impossible by Shontelle rises to 28. Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo climbs to 56. Somebody To Love by Justin Bieber and Usher gains to 69. I Like It by Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull climbs to 70. Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice rises to 77. Finally, Free by Zac Brown Band gains to 80. 


24. Beautiful Day - Lee DeWyze

So this week was the finale of the 2010 American Idol season, and the winner, Lee DeWyze had his coronation single, his Inside Your Heaven or A Moment Like This if you will, chart this week. And it's a cover of the U2 song of the same name. And this is an okay cover but doesn't really do anything that the original song doesn't, so all this really does for me is give me the urge to listen to the U2 original. It's not bad, but I'm gonna forget this in record time. I'm not surprised this guy didn't take off. 


89. The Only Exception - Paramore

I put this song in the top 3 of my 2010 best list and I absolutely stand by that because this song is still exceptional. The gorgeous strings and piano, Hayley Williams's beautiful voice, and the lyrics about being scared of love, but finally getting in a relationship, but still being afraid that it's gonna end. I went more into depth on this song on my best list so see that if you haven't. Incredible song!


91. Teach Me How To Dougie - Cali Swag District 


"Well the boys 'round here, they're keeping it country
Ain't a damn one know how to do the dougie
(You don't do the dougie?) No, not in Kentucky
But these girls 'round here yep, they still love me
Yea, the girls 'round here, they all deserve a whistle
Shakin' that sugar, sweet as Dixie crystal
They like that y'all and southern drawl
And just can't help it cause they just keep fallin'"

93. Who Dat - J. Cole

I'm not a J. Cole fan by any means, in fact I'd say I dislike him most of the time. However, I enjoyed this. I mean the bars are nothing special, but the beat is awesome, and Cole rides it very well. This just kind of slaps. Good stuff.


98. Sex Room - Ludacris, Trey Songz

This sounds like if Luda and Trey made a Robin Thicke song and I want none of it! Next!


100. Super High - Rick Ross, Ne-Yo

I don't hate Rick Ross as much as most critics in this community do, heck I'd say I like him most of the time with the obvious exception of that one time in 2013, you know the one. But yeah, I like this one too. I wouldn't say I love it but it's definitely good. Ne-Yo's hook is solid, the beat works, and Rick Ross does a good job here. It's nothing special, but it's pretty solid. I'll take it. 


And that was this week! Worst Of The Week is going to Sex Room by Ludacris and Trey Songz, with Dishonorable Mention to Teach Me How To Dougie by Cali Swag District. Best Of The Week is going to The Only Exception by Paramore, and Honorable Mention to Who Dat by J. Cole. 


Urtar Reviews signing out. I'll see you next time!

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2003

Image
  Hey everyone, been a while, but Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews here and today I am doing another worst list for 2003! My birth year! So how good an overall year for pop music do I think 2003 was? I think it might be my least favorite year of the 2000s decade for pop music. Not to say it's a terrible year, in fact there's a fair amount of songs I adore as we'll see on the best list. But the bad stuff really drags it down. Let's get into it! Before I listened to this list, I did not realize that Natasha Bedingfield's brother had hits. Years before her first song hit the Hot 100. I was totally fine not knowing that because... 10. If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield Snore. Snore. I am someone who has a soft spot for late 90s and early 2000's ballads like this. And this still is so goddamn boring to me. Daniel Bedingfield is such a boring singer that just has such little personality. And the instrumentation is also boring. And the lyrics are kinda ...

My Top 15 Favorite Hit Songs of 2003

  15. Harder To Breathe - Maroon 5  The first hit Maroon 5 ever had. And it sticks out to me as one of their best. Adam Levine sells how angry he is so goddamn well. Especially with how he literally sounds like he is running out of breath during the chorus. And the guitar and drum lines compliment him very well. Such a fantastic opener to Songs About Jane as well. Opens that album up with a bang. But also a killer song in itis own right.  14. It's Five O'clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffet  Despite the fact that I am not that much of a beach person despite being a Californian, I have a big soft spot for a lot of beach music. And this is one such song. Alan Jackson's warm deep voice fits the beach sound so well. And that guitar line is just so damn comforting. Jimmy Buffet's part is kinda pointless imo, but it's still enjoyable. Like if there is a nitpick I have with this song it's that he is all wondering what would Jimmy Buffet do in a moment like this...

My Top 20 Favorite Hit Songs of 2023 Part 2 (10-1)

  10. Snooze - SZA I think recently SZA finally clicked for me. I haven't tested that yet by going back to her Ctrl era hits since my 2017 best list. Maybe it's just that I like her hits this year more than them, or maybe lately I've been busier and tired more often and more in the mood for downbeat R&B like this, but Kill Bill was one of the last cuts from the list, and Low would have been even higher if it was eligible. This song just did a good job calming me down through this stressful year. SZA's voice just sounds so comforting and smooth, the pitch shifting is fantastic and the beat is just upbeat enough to be catchy and for the song to have rhythm while also laid back enough to be calming. Before I listened to Low as a recommendation from my friends I considered this my favorite SZA song I'd heard, and between the songs I've heard it I actually want to listen to SOS at some point which I never thought I'd say. 9. Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift  Some ...
