"Some Girls" 36th Most Popular Song in America (sez Blender).

[foxmonkey]

Found yes, you know where. In a post by RockOnML, complete with a scan of the magazine page!

Blender says that "Some Girls" is the 36th most popular song in America. I snagged the scan, added RockOnML's screenname, and shrank the size, but the thing is still about 125K, so let it load.

The blurb at the bottom of the page says, "The Most Popular Songs chart is based on radio and video airplay, and album sales. Provided by HITSDailyDouble.com."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Velly intellesting. Went to HITS, but you have to register to have a look-see, and I've been pretty much sucking at the mailing back of passwords lately. This is too intriguing though, so I'm off to register...

I thought that single was coming out next week or sometime after that?

And isn't his CD called Schizophrenic, not Schizophrenia?

I also can't believe Hilary Duff is at the top of the charts. ;)

You know, extreme excitement (and a ton of gullibility) will evidently lead anyone to believe anything. I'm guilty as charged on both counts.

I don't quite feel *completely* stupid, though. I mean, weirder things have certainly happened!

But in hindsight, yeah. foxmonkey = not smrt. ;-)

*g* Well, you had already pointed out that it was probably fake, so I was just helping you out in deciding that it really is a manip. It's well done, though. Or maybe it's just an advance thing and they're projecting the numbers? Or something? They do that for books... could they do it for radio airplay?

They definitely did get the name wrong, though. (Whoever "they" are.)

That's part of why I fell on the side of..."I want to believe!" Parts of it look real, and like you said, it might have been snagged from some projection chart. Or anything. And then someone with too much time on their hands decided to give the JC freaks something to bite at.

Man, I thought we finally had something. Manipping bastages! ;-)

I also just noticed that Bridge Over Troubled Water is at number 12, which can't be right, because I have NEVER heard that song on the radio, and believe me, I love Clay and I've been listening. *g*

This is fun.
