Maroon 5 reaches the Billboard top ten for the second time in the past month, first with ‘Maps‘ and now with ‘Animals.’
You can’t deny the ability of Adam Levine and company to churn out one hit after another, though I’ve never liked any of their smashes as much as the entirety of their debut album, Songs About Jane.
In Billboard’s seventh spot this week is Jeremih with ‘Don’t Tell ‘Em,’ a song as stupid as the spelling of his first name.
The girl power wave that put women in the top six Billboard spots hits a wall with this lazy R&B jam that celebrates women as mindless sex objects.

With summer over and new hits slow to materialize, I’m going to have to dig pretty deep into the list to come up with ten songs I haven’t already featured on the blog.

In a cute, and probably predictable, turn of events, my 8-year-old daughter Fiona has become a bigger Miranda Lambert fan than I am.
She insists on hearing “her favorite singer” every morning on the way to school and goes to bed each night with Lambert’s latest album, Platinum, playing on her nightstand.
She even has a grand plan to get on The Voice and choose Blake Shelton as her coach during the blind auditions so that she can go to his house and meet his wife. After which she’d quit the show.
