Billboard You're an interesting topic

So for how little I'll ever post on here and how many things I do and various musical opinions I'll give when one actually converses about music with me I actually don't really find a whole lot to really say on here if not for lack of interest in writing as much as things just not being all that interesting for me to talk about.

I mean it's a fickle market out there with the various options out here it's difficult to not say what's already been said especially when the current market as we see it during the earlier part of the year isn't really anything special and just kind of feels very dull and out of place but with that in mind I for some reason have wanted to talk about something related to the Billboard charts for a while so with that in mind I feel like talking about the current top 10 songs in the country as of the March 26th chart, so let's quit bullshitting here and get to it with the number 1 song in the country....

1. Work-Rihanna fet. Drake

I'm not going to lie I finally decided to actually give this song a listen for the first time in full right as I'm writing this and in all honesty the chorus sounds like Rihanna has a dick in her mouth, Drake is giving some half assed lines about love, aaaaaaaaand it's really an oddly catchy tune that is really bad in chunks and kind of eh as a whole.

In all honesty nothing offensively bad but not really worth being the top of the mountain NEXT.

2. Love Yourself-Justin Beiber

Not going to lie this little bastards really improved as a performer that went from performing very gratingly annoying tunes that served as nothing more then appealing to the teen fan girl section of music that needed a new Johnas Brother to this odd mid tempo soft rock singer who really seems to genuinely try to make something you can contrive as actually being listenable and in a sense he's succeeded the only problem is that his  delivery of what's kind of a decent tune is marred by his completely uninteresting vocals which for lack of a better term are boring and somehow make this song feel a lot longer then it actually is.

In all honesty it's not awful but it's just kind of bland...NEXT!

3. Stressed Out-Twenty One Pilots

The most mediocre track from one of if not THE MOST mediocre popular act in Alternative music from an album that has MUCH BETTER TRACKS that give me some bit of thought that these guy's are worth giving a fuck about getting pissed away on a very boring tune that is at best typical of this groups attempts of trying to be very existential but ultimately just being a boring overly pretentious concept of a tune that isn't Car Radio.

 In all honesty this band isn't as good as their fanbase thinks they are but if this song leads people to hear Car Radio or Heavydirtysoul then that's something because those tracks are actually good....NEXT!

4. My House-Flo Rida

It's Flo Rida....no really I don't care and this song isn't really making me want to so NEXT!

5. 7 Years-Lukas Graham

Not going to lie I actually kind of think this song is nice it's pretty by the numbers but I do enjoy it and it's one of if not the best song in the top 10 at the moment so I got nothing bad to say I just expect this to have the kind of soft rock radio support in the coming months.

6. PILLOWTALK-ZAYN

Not going to lie I avoided this whole One Direction thing and this really isn't anything more then somebody trying to be the next Justin Timberlake but with more Fucks said and in all honesty this song really isn't offensive to me actually I could venture in saying there are things about it that actually work to some degree and if you took some musicians to kind of take it and give it a rock arrangement with a good bit more inflection on the chorus you could have a decent guilty pleasure but as it stands it's doable when compared to it's competition.

7. Me, Myself and I-G-Eazy X Bebe Rexha

Brag rap tune with a catchy hook that's nothing to write home about and doesn't motivate me to stay on the station for anything more then to hear said hook maybe two or three times so eh.

8. Sorry-Justin Beiber

Think back to my opinion on Love Yourself but when i hear this all i think about is that old South Park BP oil spill apology commercial.

9. Cake By the Ocean-DNCE

Not going to lie this song is actually kind of groovy and I don't seem to dislike it like everyone else and didn't have anything to criticize until i realized that it was one of the Johnas Brothers was singing it and that they were singing about eating Cake by the Ocean to which I prefer to say, "Hey it's Frank Ocean," because that guy's really fucking groovy isn't he....damn now I have to go listen to thinking bout you how many songs are left OH SWEET just one let's do this.

10. I Took a Pill in Ibiza(Seeb Remix)-Mike Posner

So if you've heard the original version of this you'd think it's noble but have no questions as to why he's no more then the guy that thought he was cooler then you but what's an odd trend somebody remixing and making a more dance oriented version of his song has made it actually work in a very odd way so I'll give him credit for not being in one hit wonderland now but as a whole this songs just decent.

Well those are my opinions on the charts if you like it let me know otherwise see ya around the next time things get interesting.
