Blender, drop date, definitions, JUSTIN PICTURES!

Color me confused. A couple of days ago, I posted this "Some Girls #36 in America" (found at the JJB, of course). After much debate, investigative leg work and examination of the evidence, it seemed the thing might be a hoax. I checked in to the JJB this morning, and posted within this thread, saw this:

boydbunny03: "In the new issue of Blender there is a list of the 40 most popular songs in America and number 35 is Some Girls...." Someone linked her to the post I originally found, and she replied, boydbunny03: "Lol, ok thanks! I got my issue yesterday in the mail and I was reading it while I was babysitting today when I came across that. I was so confused!!"

So. Does anyone out there have this issue, and if so, will they let me know whether or not this is true? I'm all confuzzled, dammit! Thanks. :-)


And! That same post concerns Info on JC's Single.

Posted by namechanged2protectjob: "Hi all...I've been away on business for about a week so I'm a bit out of the loop on any information about JC's single. I did receive a email from BMG while I was away but all it said was JC Chasez "Some Girls" August 19th. Does this (pardon the pun) "jive" with the dates currently being reported as the drop date for the single? I'll be back in the office next week so hopefully I can get some more info..."


Hey! For anyone like me, who's wondered about the difference between the "drop date" and the "impact date" for a single, *that* info was included as well. If this post had included updates on JC's birthday celebration, it would have been, like, the post to end all current JC speculation on everything, ever.

From DaveTheDebater: "Drop and impact are two different dates. Drop is the date radio is legally allowed to play the song (big ones play a day or two early 'cause they're SOOOO cool ). The impact date is 2 to 3 weeks later, after definitely all applicable radio stations have the track and have been playing it, and impact date is when it starts being officially tracked and recorded for spin stats and Billboard positions."


Last but certainly not least, *run* to ciderpress's journal if you want to see additional pictures of Justin's video shoot in NY yesterday. I'd seen the same four pictures floating around...there are more. And the first and last ones? Brace yourself. GUH. God, these are just incredible. Go!


And now it's time to get ready for my real job. Oy!

Bleh.

I should be writing (I am! I am!), but ugh, the process isn't proceeding smoothly tonight. My eyes are a bit tired, and that doesn't help. And I'm slamming my forehead against a brick wall here, and I shouldn't be. Argh! Do it! Do it!

The pictures from Justin's video shoot were inspiring. The full-on closeups? Gorgeous. Reminded me a lot of soft-faced baby! Justin of not too long ago. I even like the scruff, and I'm totally digging the hat. And he's still got the biggest freakin' manpaws I've seen, and I looooooooove the long, long line of his torso.

It's going to rain and I'm sitting here stalling. Back to work.

[editing! writing! pretty boys with long, long torsos kissing and stuff! manpaws stroking...things!]

::le sigh::

Blender confirmation!

Well, it seems that it's true, Blender says that "Some Girls" is the 35th most popular tune in America. First post on the subject here, the mystery deepened here.

Scan snagged from the JJB post, here.

katienyc put me out of the misery of my undying curiousity (thank you!). She commented that she received her copy of Blender in the mail today and the page does indeed have JC's "Some Girls" listed as the 35th most popular song in America.

Woohoo! Yay! It's true!
