Song of the Day: Strange Clouds - B.o.B. (Feat. Lil' Wayne)


After B.o.B.'s incredible mainstream success through the earlier part of 2010 (with 3 top 10 hits, including #1 "Nothin' On You"), B.o.B. has gone over a year without a successful release of his own single. As a debut for the same-titled album to be released in 2012, Strange Clouds is a hip-hop collab with Lil' Wayne, who could easily be called the busiest man of 2011 from his many releases and soundpieces. However, is the all-star collab, B.o.B.'s own credibility enough to make this song an autumn smash? Read on for my review!

The Project: Mobius Fab 50 - Week of September 26, 2011


You know, a solid single from Rihanna has been highly anticipated by me, despite the fact that she releases music as fast as a jackrabbit. Her last 3 singles have all been flops, so I was pretty excited to hear her new song, "We Found Love", from her upcoming album. However, was the new song's recent success enough for me to put it on the top of the Fab 50? You'll have to read the rest of the post to find out!

Song of the Day: I Like It Like That - Hot Chelle Rae (Feat. New Boyz)


It's been quite a while, but Hot Chelle Rae fans are finally getting a new song, after "Tonight Tonight" mysteriously vanishes from the Mediabase charts. "I Like It Like That" will premiere on iTunes on October 4th, and features the Cataracs' act New Boyz. Does this song have the same charm that made "Tonight Tonight" such a big hit?

Song of the Day: We Found Love - Rihanna (Feat. Calvin Harris)


Are you kidding me? Rihanna's first single from her upcoming album (which I believe will have a cover much like the "R" logo you see above) is with Calvin Harris? As dance music finally makes its well-deserved progression into the mainstream, artists like Rihanna are using its trademark beats and repetition to help their own music. However, is it too far of a misdirection for an artist whose sound has become as different as R&B/pop Rihanna? Read on for my review!

The Project: Mobius Fab 50 - Week of September 19, 2011


Gavin DeGraw has had an interesting career. Although his songs never get high on the Hot 100, he's not regarded as anything but a major artist. With a fresh new song in "Not Over You", will he be able to get high on the chart? Probably not, but it's one of my favorite songs from him, so it charts well. Anyways, is "Pumped Up Kicks" able to keep up its long #1 streak this week? Read on for the chart!

Song of the Day: Paradise - Coldplay


Have you been waiting for this release? If so, you're not alone. I've always found Coldplay's innovative, almost U2-esque style to be very charming, and many of their songs to be "Paradise". However, the English band has finally released a song of that name, and looks to live up to what Coldplay's previously done. Read the rest of my review to hear the song if you haven't yet!

Song of the Day: Sexy And I Know It - LMFAO


After the huge and unexpected success of "Party Rock Anthem", LMFAO looks to hit the jackpot again with their next single, "Sexy And I Know It". Although this song may not feature such high-profile acts as Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, it's definitely in a position to become a hit. However, is it likely that this song will also hit #1? Read on for my opinion!

Song of the Day: Mr. Know It All - Kelly Clarkson


As the fall music season starts to heat up, the competition to have the best new song will be extremely fierce. One new song vying for success is Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All", in which Kelly attempts to get back on the top of the charts. Does it deserve to get there? My review and the full song are in the complete article (note: click the title)!

This is the third time that Adele's made the cover of the Fab 50 - and for good reason. After her stunning performance of "Someone Like You" at the VMA's, the song has topped the iTunes charts. How high does she move up on the chart this week? Read on to read the full chart!

Oh, "Titanium". How I loved you. How I wanted to put you in my top 3 of "Songs of the Month", but was unable to due to the fact that you were getting 0 plays on mainstream radio.

Song of the Day: Good Feeling - Flo Rida


It's been a little while since we've heard a new Flo Rida-made single, hasn't it? The last one ("Who Dat Girl"; I won't count "Turn Around Pt. 2", since it was from Hangover 2) was released all the way back in January, and didn't amount to much. However, does this song have the potential to become a hit, unlike its predecessor? Read on for the review - and something unexpected!

Song of the Day: Without You - David Guetta (Feat. Usher)


It's very odd that a person can release an album with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Usher, Jessie J and Akon featured on tracks without getting much attention - excuse me, without getting ANY attention - from the blogging community. I'm going to change that today, with my review of "Without You", on which Usher is featured. This song has surprisingly gotten picked up on radio quite quickly, and could become a quick success. Does it deserve to? Don't let what I wrote above fool you!

Song of the Day: Fly - Nicki Minaj (Feat. Rihanna)


After the surprising, prolonging success of "Super Bass", Nicki Minaj sets out to charm us on her next single from Pink Friday, "Fly", which happens to feature one of the best talents in music today (Rihanna). Many other singles from Pink Friday haven't had the success that "Super Bass" was blessed with, however. Does "Fly" have the talent needed for another Nicki Minaj hit? The review's in the full article!
