I’m incredibly surprised by Bruno Mars debut single “Just The Way You Are”. While it’s yet to be decided whether or not I like the song, it’s definitely not what I was expecting to hear from him. After all, the singer emerged on the scene by […]

Aural Only: Sky Ferreira
If she’s signed to the same record label as Kylie Minogue then she must be great, right? While that logic wouldn’t exactly be sound in most cases, it’s certainly true when it comes to up-and-c0ming singer Sky Ferreira. We featured her debut single “One” a […]
Aural Only: Christina Perri
Apparently people can get recording contracts after being featured on an episode of So You Think You Can Dance? At least that’s the story behind singer-songwriter Christina Perri and her breakout single “Jar of Hearts”. Two of the show’s contestants choreographed a dance for her […]
Aural Only: Ellie Goulding
We’re totally digging Ellie Goulding‘s latest single “The Writer”, even if it doesn’t necessarily have “Song of Summer” written all over it. While it’s nowhere near as exciting or upbeat as her previous output, there’s something very refreshing about hearing her vocals on a toned-down pop […]
Aural Only: Neon Trees
If you’re a fan of The Killers, then there’s a pretty high chance that you’ll get into Neon Trees. Coincidentally, the Utah-based rock band was pushed into the spotlight by Ronnie Vannucci Jr, a man who just so happens to be the drummer of… you […]

Change is good, right? We sure as hell hope so, because we’re moving the Wild Card round of our Weekly Top Ten from its traditional spot on Thursday to a new home on Wednesdays. This will give you an extra day to fully absorb the […]
Weekly Top Ten: When Kylie Takes Over
We hate to make such declarative statements so early in the season, but it’s becoming clear to us that Kylie Minogue‘s “All The Lovers” is the definitive gay summer anthem of 2010. One could even call it the new “When Love Takes Over”, which might […]
Who Deserves A Second Chance On The Weekly Top Ten?
Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Well, except for your douchebag ex-boyfriend. That bastard can rot in hell. But when it comes to our Weekly Top Ten charts, there are a few jams that deserve another chance at claiming the ultimate “Song of Summer” title. […]
Aural Only: Sarah McLachlan
I know what you’re thinking–“Are you seriously posting a Sarah McLachlan song? Have we stumbled into Lilith Fair, circa 1998?” This sentiment is completely understandable. On a personal level, I can’t hear the Canadian singer-songwriter’s name without envisioning sad puppies and kitties. But here’s the […]
Aural Only: Natasha Bedingfield
We’ve had several requests to add Natasha Bedingfield‘s latest single “Touch” to the Weekly Top Ten, so we finally decided to cave in and give it a chance. And you know what? We actually liked it! In fact, we may have even liked it a […]
