Pop Music Charts Day

Be the First to Comment!

January 4 is a day for all of us who snub our noses at the pop charts, scorning everything from Brittany Spears to Nickelback and claiming that anything that makes a #1 since 1995 is a piece of crap, to bite our tongues and enjoy the guilty pleasure tunes that we normally disdain. Look, we’ve all got that hidden CD, that folder of songs on our desktop or iPod that we wouldn’t even show our own mothers; why not stop judging one another (as well as ourselves) and allow ourselves to enjoy our Vanilla Ice, M.C. Hammer, New Kids on the Block, Milli Vanilli, Leo Sayer, and whoever else you’d never be caught dead jamming out to—at least for the day?

Corresponding with a new, unknown individual who has asked me to review a track by L.A. based pop artist, Bijou, as a kind of anonymous internet test- I begin to slake my thirst of hereto before unknownst musical track, "Two Bottles" and apprise myself of his bio. I am impressed with the gigantic portrait of Bijou on his myspace page, which of course is home to all musicians in the age of the internet.

Throughout his whole life, Michael Jackson was in the limelight. No amount of allegations (whether true or not), bad jokes or facial surgeries will ever change the fact that he was an enormous chunk of pop history all on his own, and that he will forever be remembered.

Since age 11, Michael has been entertaining the American public. With his unique dancing style, powerful vocals and all-around popularity, it’s no wonder he was dubbed the King of Pop during his music career. Artists who get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one time consider themselves blessed; Michael was inducted twice. Holder of the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time” entry in the Guines World Records, Michael sold over 750 million records globally. Read more
