Next week's Billboard chart:
Taylor Swift jumps to #1 from #6. That's the biggest jump I've ever seen; no song since 2000 has jumped from lower than #5. I'm assuming the top 10 are all really close in plays, considering Carrie Underwood falls all the way to #10, which is another unprecedented move (well, since I've been keeping track). I also noticed that the charts have been so male-dominated that this is the first time since early 1999 that one solo female recording artist has replaced another at #1 ("Stand Beside Me" by Jo Dee Messina replacing "Wrong Again" by Martina McBride in January of that year).
Also, I'm sorry, but Taylor Swift has yet to record anything of merit. I actually think "Tim McGraw" is her best song, and that sort of borders on novelty recording. Anyway, "Our Song" is just kind of pathetic. Not to be unnecessarily mean, but it really does sound like someone in high school recorded it. Which, you know... OBVIOUSLY, but that doesn't mean the rest of the country should be falling for it. The CMA Horizon award and everything? Yikes. How pathetic. Just my thoughts.

The plucky guitar makes it slightly appealing and I like the idea of talking slow on the phone. But the hook is boring. And her voice is average. And she's not even that pretty. At least be hot if you're not that talented. She reminds me of Avril.
Secretly, I want to like her. Like I wanted to like Carrie Underwood and couldn't until "Before He Cheats" came along. Well, I'm definitely not at that stage yet. She seems like an upstanding young lady, but... yeah. Maybe not that talented? Time will tell?
