I fail with words when it comes to Nicki's new video. What an absolute abomination

The fact that people complained about the Born This Way era videos :eww:

Stupid Hoe, the song AND video, are really unfairly maligned. They're both rather spunky, just a bit screwy slices of enjoyable zaniness.

And this one COULD have been really cute. But Hype's bizarre video effects are SOOOOO bad here they pretty much ruin the whole thing and make it feel awful and cheap. It's a cute idea with some cheesy/fun costumes and sets. But the direction is so f*cking awful.

I think their point is that the radio has too much say in the Billboard charts when the main purpose of radio is background music for driving to and from work. Not really the best measure of how popular a song is.

A PSY #1 will be historic, not only as a first Asian chart topper, but it will be the first time radio airplay has been made to look ridiculously irrelevant and out of touch with music buying. And that is likely good for Gaga.

M5 now under .54 of PSY. This is Halloween party and end of midterms weekend, so PSY should benefit from a bigger than usual Saturday bounce.

The difference is Nicki at least warned us it would suck. Gaga has yet to admit TEOG was awful.

TEOG is my favorite Gaga music video. Not every video has to have a "point" to it. I love the set and Gaga's homemade dance moves. It's not some social statement, but it relates really well to the song.

Although it's not my favorite I'm glad to see another person who likes the video! I love the simplicity. Funny how if somebody like Katy released the video, it would have been "amazing", but when Gaga releases it, it's suddenly "bland, basic etc."

My least favorite videos by her are JD, BDR and Eh Eh. :P

Wow, Nicki was really channeling Gaga in this video. :wtf:

How is that surprising? I love the fact she does this. Shows Gaga's influence.

This thread has been dead ever since the Taylor Swift hype died down.

And a thought I've been having: How many people in this section actually understand how the radio works and how to read the charts associated with it? Because I am just gathering the impression that most people here just focus on sales and pretend like the radio doesn't even exist haha.

With that said, here are some pop/chr radio updates for 10/26/12:

I used to post the Top 10 on Pop with highlighted Red and Green updates all the time. I don't know why I stopped doing it. I'll start tomorrow :)
