There isn't one single in the Top 10 of
Billboard's Hot 100 this week that drops out. Below that,
Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" rises to
#11,
Gavin Rossdale's "Love Remains The Same" is up to
#27 and
Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight" finally cracks the Top 40 at
#36. Complete snooze.
So let's then turn our attention to the album chart, where
Pussycat Dolls appear to have used up about eight of their nine lives at this point.
Pussycat
D'luv previously pointed out that
this album might be troubled, and some commenter tried to give the sass. Alas, all stripper poles start to rust after awhile...a thought that even makes
me want to hurl.
Doll Domination enters the album chart at #4 this week, with dismal sales of only 79,000. By comparison,
Metallica's
Death Magnetic has already been out three weeks, but still sold over 53,000 more copies than the Pussycat Dolls did.
It's kind of a good point to make (again): radio can shove an abysmal single like "When I Grow Up" down listeners throats and it might go Top 10—and just barely in this case—but when it comes time for consumers to pony up cash for a whole album, those 30-second clips on iTunes had better sound damn good.

What’s in a name? For Gwen Stefani’s newborn, Zuma Nesta Rock – plenty.Take the unique first name: Computer game aficionados may remember Zuma, a popular 2004 video game from PopCap Games. Zuma required players to remove balls rolling around the computer screen by firing a colored ball at them before they filled up the screen.A more likely name inspiration? Malibu’s famous Zuma Beach, a favorite destination for parents Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and big brother Kingston. The beach, famous for its surfable waves, was the inspiration for Neil Young’s album Zuma, making the locale a bona-fide musical landmark.And then there’s Nesta, Zuma’s middle name. Gwen and Gavin, avid Bob Marley fans, probably took a cue from the late singer’s middle name, which was also Nesta. Marley’s home base of Kingston, Jamaica, was an inspiration for big brother Kingston Rossdale’s name, so it seems Marley themes are popular in the Stefani-Rossdale…
