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.

Sound Familiar?
So tomorrows a special day for me and if you don't know by this point I'll let you take the time to look that stuff up yourself but until then I wanted to point out this thing I came up with at work yesterday and feel like pointing out today in an article that isn't really likely to become a semi-re-occurring segment but rather an idea like the album/concert reviews, so bad it's good, lost great albums, and Greatest song ever where I just kind of make an observation and let you guy's take notice for yourself so without further ado let's get into this.
Have you ever listened to a song and kind of thought to yourself, "hey this is really good but for some reason it sounds a lot like something else I've heard before," or have you ever listened to a song and noticed that any particular artist or group has decided to do something that sounds a little too much like another artist? Well that's what today's segment is covering in Sound Familiar I'll be taking a song and bringing up a similarity to another tune that might be a little odd and with today I figure I'd talk about something I recall pointing out a long time ago but feel like going a little more in depth with today and that's with these two tunes...
(Just Hold On) We're Going Home-Drake & Africa-Toto
So I recall a while back in one of the many times I've covered this smooth little throwback sounding Drake number that it sounds like a kind of modern day Africa and whenever I say that I mean that it's a very steady synth heavy number that kind of harkens back to going to a mother land of sorts whether it's home or Africa is one of a few things that kind of separates these two tunes lyrically, but whenever you kind of listen to them side by side you notice the intro's are very similar and they both are rather mid tempo pop numbers.
I know it's kind of random but it's a kind of funny observation none-the-less and the fact that I can hear the newer of the two tunes and want to go coast down the streets of Vice City kind of is probably the reason why I enjoy it so much..that and it's a pretty decent tune to make out with someone too but that's a whole different article for another time people.
SO go listen to these two tunes side by side and tell me what you think and of course if there's any two tunes that you think are a little too similar in sound feel free to suggest it in the comments down below or of course on The Official Facebook Page where you'd be real awesome to click that like button buddy.
