Next we have a new debut in the top 10, Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus at #8, which knocks back Not Afraid by Eminem to #9 and Rude Boy by Rihanna to #10. 


Significant Gains, Losses, Dropouts and Returns

To start off our losses, My First Kiss by 3OH!3 and Kesha falls further to 34. Iyaz's terrible ripoff of Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls, Solo falls to 69. Not Myself Tonight by Christina Augilera drops to 73. Ain't Back Yet by Kenny Chesney leaves at 75. Hell On The Heart by Eric Church drops to 91.  Pyramid by Charice and Iyaz unfortunately plummets to 93. Finally, Backwoods by Justin Moore drops to 99. 


For dropouts, the notable ones are, Naturally by Selena Gomez And The Scene, BedRock by Young Money and Lloyd, and Live Like We're Dying by Kris Allen all clenching Year End spots and Drop The World by Lil Wayne and Eminem and I'm Awesome by Spose falling short. 


For our returns, Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo comes back at 88. And Window Seat by Erykah Badu returns at 98. 


To start  off our gains, Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner climbs to 40. Impossible by Shontelle gains to 41. Undo It by Carrie Underwood rises to 59. She Won't Be Lonely Long by Clay Walker gains to 60. Gettin' Over You by David Guetta, Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO rises to 61. Crazy Town by Jason Aldean gains to 65. Hello Good Morning by Diddy - Dirty Money and T.I. awakes to 72. Finally, Somebody To Love by Justin Bieber and Usher gains to 80. 


8. Can't Be Tamed - Miley Cyrus


This sounds like a Britney Spears song to me, pretty similar to something like Womanizer. Now Womanizer is one of my favorite Britney songs, but I don't like this one at all. The production is like Womanizer but from hell and Miley doesn't really pull it off well. Bad song!


49. Touchin On My - 3OH!3

This is a very bland and mid song and that's not what I expected from a group like 3OH!3 but yeah this 3OH!3 song sure does exist, doesn't it. 


51. Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

 

I don't think I've ever said this on this blog but I hate almost all metal music it's just super loud and annoying most of the time. And I hate this song. It starts off slow and quiet and then just out of nowhere explodes with shrieking vocals and it scared the shit out of me. And as it goes on it stays as terrible. His vocals are just so abrasive to me and the instrumental is way too loud. 


77. Neutron Star Collision - Muse

I've heard of Muse before but haven't heard much of their music. Anyway, this song from one of the Twilight movies is pretty good. It has a solid groove, good vocals and I like the lyrics about falling in love, they're well written. 


79. Woohoo - Christina Augilera, Nicki Minaj

I've always defended Christina Augilera, but I'm not a fan of this song. It reminds me of Wind It Up by Gwen Stefani, a hit song from 2007 that I love even if no one else does but without the yodeling which was, hot take, one of the best things about Wind It Up. And this just has much worse production and doesn't have the manic energy of Wind It Up aside from Nicki's verse which is the best part. So yeah just kinda meh. 


94. Free - Zac Brown Band


I listened to Zac Brown Band's debut album The Foundation a month or two ago and I really liked it and while this wasn't one of my absolute favorite songs on it, compared to songs like Toes and Chicken Fried or in slower ballad territory Highway 20 Ride, it falls a bit short, but it's still a great song. It starts off slow and then builds up to a powerful climax. Zac Brown is a great singer as usual and the instrumentation is beautiful as usual for this band. The lyrics are simple, just about how all the things the two of them are doing to feel free and happy. They don't have much money, but they don't need much money to love each other and drive around the countryside to feel free. It's pretty adorable and Zac Brown sells it well. Great song even if there are better songs on the album. 


96. Hold You (Hold Yuh) - Gyptian

This is an okay song but doesn't really leave me with anything to say so yeah next!


So yeah that was this week! Worst of the week is going to Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold, with Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus as Dishonorable Mention. Best of the week is going to Free by Zac Brown Band and Honorable Mention to Neutron Star Collision by Muse. 


Thanks for reading! Urtar Reviews signing out! I'll see you next time!

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2003

  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 ...
