Weekly Chart Notes: After Taylor Swift And P!nk, Who's Next To No. 1?

Despite having made 45 prior visits, Taylor Swift didn't score her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 until "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," her 46th attempt, soared 72-1 on the ranking earlier this month. This week, P!nk tops the Billboard 200 at last, as "The Truth About Love" launches at the summit. Having first appeared on the list more than 12 years ago, P!nk had charted five previous studio albums and one best-of set, rising as high as No. 2 with "Funhouse" in 2008. (Swift had, however, already tallied two No. 1s on the Billboard 200 prior to her first Hot 100 coronation, while P!nk had collected three Hot 100 leaders before crowning the Billboard 200.) What other star acts have, perhaps surprisingly, yet to top a prominent Billboard chart? And, who yet might? On the Hot 100, Justin Bieber remains in the hunt for his first No. 1, among 29 total charted titles, having risen as high as No. 2 in April with "Boyfriend." Could "

Kennedy family 'terrified' of Taylor Swift

The Kennedy family reportedly have concerns over where Taylor Swifts relationship with Conor Kennedy is headed. The 22-year-old country singer is apparently already thinking about settling down with her 18-year-old beau. Taylor is said to be determined to become the next Jackie Kennedy and wants to be a permanent part of the powerful family dynasty. The Kennedys are not excited at all about that prospect. Theyre terrified that Taylor is going to convince Conor to elope, a source told Star magazine. Theyre quite snobbish when it comes to Hollywood and are much more impressed by Ivy League types than famous people. The age difference between Taylor and Conor is said to be a deep concern for the Kennedys. The brood believes that Conor is simply too young to be involved in such a deep relationship. They see him as a child, and they hate that hes dating someone so much older, the source said. Recently, Taylor crashed a Kennedy wedding and did not leave when the mother of the bride asked her

Taylor Swift deconstructed: Artists remix 'We Are Never Ever'

Image
L.A. duo Kid Infinity remakes Taylor Swift in a new collection. ( Kid Infinity / Imps of Marge & Fletch / September 28 , 2012 ) By Randall Roberts, Los Angeles Times Pop Music Critic September 28, 2012 , 9:26 a.m. There are a few different ways to digest a mega-hit song like Taylor Swift 's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." If you love it, you'll memorize all the words, lap up every verse, chorus, hook and bridge until you get its message on a cellular level. If you're ambivalent about it, maybe you'll tap your foot while thinking about something else. And if you hate it, it will torture you relentlessly as it embeds itself into your psyche. Those who are sick of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and are looking to deconstruct it might follow Mabson Enterprises' lead. Similar in concept to Mabson's recent collection covering Gotye 's "Somebody That I Used to Know," the new collection, released Tuesday, se

Of burgers and Taylor Swift: A heartbreak story

Image
I was 16 when I had my first heartbreak, even before I knew I had fallen in love. He was the sweetest guy I had ever met, with his easy smile, faded jeans, and the Chuck Taylors he wore until its soles had holes. He was two years older than I, both in age and perhaps in experience, too. He was a junior; I was a freshman when I first met him. We both belong to a volunteer organization, which I signed up for only because I was eager to find my crowd in college. I had no idea what they did in the org, but that didnt stop me from picking up my pink feather pen and signing my name on the list. I recall I was giggling a little when I did so. That was when he first noticed me. He walked up to me, and introduced himself as a member of the organization. He had chinky eyes. I asked my classmates, who, like me, barely knew the lay of the land, about him. They seemed to have a certain blissful look in their eyes as we did a little Pinoy Henyo just to confirm we were talking about the same guy. Yun

Taylor Swift Wants to 'Begin Again' on New Single: Listen

Taylor Swift has moved on from a rocky relationship on her new track, "Begin Again," which debuted on iTunes at midnight on Tuesday (Sept. 25) after the young country pop star previewed the song on "Good Morning America." The slow, country-inspired track is a drastic departure in tone and in message from Swift's pop-heavy, radio-friendly "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," the first single from her upcoming album "Red," due Oct. 22. "Begin Again" tells the story of a fresh love, comparing a new crush with her old boyfriend -- "I think it's strange that you think I'm funny, because he never did," she sings on the four-minute track. "I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end. But on a Wednesday, in a cafe, I watched it begin again." It's a somber but optimistic song, and the singer-songwriter style will remind Swift's fans that the 22

Her performance look at the iHeartRadio festival this weekend was part beauty pageant tap dance costume and part, as we said, embellished nude bodysuit, and we have to say, we're into it.
