The Music In The Charts....

Gooood Morning Jowlers.

I'd first like to make a point of telling people I'm off work this week..... fantastic news I know, a week full of masturbation, but it also means that I have time to start getting some decent blogs out for you all to have a look at and just generally be jolly around. so for my first real blog I thought I would talk about this....


The lovely Peter Gene Hernandez or you may know him as Bruno Mars. First of all how mental is that, his real name is in no way similar to Bruno Mars and think about just calling him by his first name.....Bruno.....Bruno is not the name of a 26 year old man who wares a hat like that......or is it??


But I'm not here to slag off Bruno Mars, well actually I am here to slag him off but we'll come to that later. I want to talk about the music industry at the moment and the way it seems to be running. I want to look at some artists, I want to look at the way music makes people feel and i want to look at the unsung heroes.


So lets give a run down of yesterdays top ten;



  1. Adele - Some One Like You
  2. Jessie J (Feat B.O.B) - Price Tag 
  3. Rihanna - S&M (Come On)
  4. Lady GaGa - Born This Way
  5. Wiz Khalifa - Black And Yellow
  6. Chris Brown - Yeah 3X
  7. Alexis Jordan - Good Girl
  8. Chipmunk - Champion
  9. Adele - Rolling In The Deep
  10. Bruno Mars - Grenade
Okay so theres a little run down of the top ten if you didnt know it already. Basically what i want to look at with this is just the trend. i'm sorry but 60% of this chart is allll about the same thing, it sounds the same, it looks the same in videos and it's just fed to us because it's easy. If it's not Rihanna telling us about what it's like being a slut and just getting guys, it's Alexis Jordan telling us how she's been a slut but i can be a good girl....she's 18.....my sister is 18, if she started writting songs with the lyrics 

'i like how i catch your eye, i like how i dont even try...'

i'd go to her right stop being arrogant. but who are we kidding, she didnt write the song...surely she didn't. then again with lyrics like this....

'Wanna take Me on a Date? You've Got What It Takes, You Better Have SOME CAKE'

Yeah maybe she is 18, because frankly you've embarrassed your self with you rhymes, so may words work with take.....fake.....make.....shake.....lake......why cake?? if you want lyrics go to Mr John Mayer (you all knew it was coming, was just a case of when) this man writes some of the best musical lyrics i have ever heard and he's got me through some major shit and major women. take a listen to the song below, simple, to the point, no shit lyrics...



I'm not going to bable on about Mayer, he's a genius thats all we need to know.


right back to the chart. this week we have a bit of saving grace....Adele, she's got two in the top ten, which must be saying something. pay homage to her frankly breath taking performance at the Brits which has pushed 'Some One Like You' to number one for 4 weeks running. I love that she writes her own lyrics etc and yeah she's probably the most decent thing out there at the moment in British Music (well that is forced upon us anyway). I'm going to shock people here because you'll think 'oh he doesn't come across as liking that sort of thing' Jessie J.....i like her, sure he first song was overly popular and to some extent places like NB's just destroyed it by playing it allllll the time for all the 'Ladies' out there, but as a singer and a performer and as a person....yeah i like her. she's pretty funny, i heard an interview with her, some one had text in saying ohhh the hair on the back of my neck is on end, she responded thanks but turn your air-con off probably. I laughed. so i like her and she's okay to be at number two. with B.O.B....who is Bob, i know a guy called Bob, deals with the plumbing in my house, i'm pretty sure it's not him. 


Lady GaGa.....welll what can we say, first woman to turn up to an awards ceremony.......in an egg.


But i say this about GaGa...it's been a long time since we've had some one pretty mental hit the music industry and be successful for so long, the last one was Madonna, who sang songs about well essentially giving blowjobs in a church, we need someone a little bit mad in there so i'll let you stay around, but no more videos about you giving birth please. i dont want to see that again.


Now..... Bruno. i'm annoyed at this song now, there was a time when i thought i was warming to it....i wasnt it was just played so often it became a comforting noise like leaving a hoover on, eventually you take it as the norm. no this song about the love grenade (which i would take as slang for Cum) is just a pile of shit. 


'I would Catch a Grenade for You'


no he wouldn't...............


I'm sorry but 100% he would not, I wouldn't, even if I loved the girl with all my heart, you can get fucked if you think I'm catching a grenade for you, I'd catch like a cactus for you at the maximum. like if some one launched a Cactus at you I'd catch it, I'd look for something to hit it with but if there was nothing I would catch it.      NOT a grenade. 


Essentially, he's trying to drip feed to us that he's a lovely guy...'oh I love my girl friend, I'd catch explosive shit for her, but her eyes are open when we kiss, so she clearly doesn't love me..' two points on that....one: to see that her eyes are open, yours are as well, she's probably thinking the same thing. two: she's probably watching the telly or something, dont get a bruised ego because she wants to see what's happening in EastEnders.


but is he that good a guy, recently arrested for carrying cocaine. with a fantastic mug shoot which beams....'i'm a celebrity'


also i've been looking at photo's to help in my research of this subject and i've come across this picture from the video....


is it just me or does he look incredible like this guy....


he's been Rick-Rolled and doesn't even know it.

so there's my little opinion on the current music chart.

but as much as every one complains to me about music being shit in the charts i will say this, if there wasnt this shit music in the chart then you'd have nothing to complain about and then you'd start pointing the finger at people who produce real music not auto tuned bollocks. the time will come when these bands get to where they want to be. for example a very under appreciated band which you can like to below. click on the photo, take a listen, support the unsigned acts. they are the future of great music.


any opinions or comments either facebook them or comment on here.

Peace and Love Jowlers
