The 10 Worst Singles Of 2012: We Are Never Ever Ever ... Like Ever!

"Jeez. You guys are so mean. Even if you are right, why are you so tasteless?" These were were words posted by some FLOP in the comments on last year's Worst Singles list here on Chart Rigger. And Moogaboo, my partner in all things pop, and yours D'luvvly have asked ourselves this question on several occasions: why are we so tasteless? The answer: we're not the tasteless ones, hooker; we're simply here to help the masses avoid ear-assaulting noise released by shit artistes, whether you like it or not.

This year was no exception, as there was a pile of musical cack accumulated over the past 12 months like no other. The culprits? You'll see them all below, pop fanatics. We're hear to preach it and teach it, and if you don't like it — to quote Legend Of The United States (LOTUS), Xtina — fuck you.

10. Mariah Carey feat. Rick Ross & some other flop, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)"

Moogaboo says: "Dear Mimi: it might be over — like, over-over — and I mean for real this time."
D'luv says: "This song is garbage, but that's a given — so let's get down to brass tacks. Mimi gets an A+ for her bonkers gold dress and oblivious diva posturing in the video. The true disappointment was not having a scene showing Rick Ross sex her over the boxing ring ropes and heaving up the three plates of flapjacks he ate for breakfast in her face before dying of a heart attack. I mean, WHO dropped the ball here?"
PREVIOUS TRIUMPH: Mariah whistle-shrieked her way to #5 on our Worst Singles Of 2008 list with her aptly-titled flop "Bye Bye."

9. Cher Lloyd, "Want U Back"

D'luv says: "Jessie J is a wretched twat. But given her absence this year, we simply substituted her on this list with Cher Lloyd."
Moogaboo says: "I give it five years before she's guest-starring on East Enders. That's kind of a compliment, though."
PREVIOUS TRIUMPH: Ms. Lloyd easily sailed to #6 on our Worst Singles Of 2011 list with "Swagger Jagger." Brava!

8. Neon Hitch, "Fuck U Betta"

Moogaboo says: "Not for all the free condoms at a NewNowNext Awards after-party, baby."
D'luv says: "Poor Neon Hitch. Songs with 'fuck' in the title are so 2010. Look for her next single to feature such topical gimmicks as a sax solo, some whistling and Sean Paul."

7. Rita Ora, "R.I.P."

D'luv says: "Nope, not much to add here."
Moogaboo says: "The only more appropriate title would have been 'D.O.A.'"

6. Taylor Swift, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

D'luv says: "For just once, I'd like to see this broad keep her legs shut and try writing a song. I bet she can't do it. "
Moogaboo says: "This trash becomes slightly more poignant when one realizes, hey, even millionaire twenty-something songstresses can get totally twerked in the nether-regions over 16-year-old high school flops."

5. Madonna feat. Nicki Minaj & some other flop, "Give Me All Your Luvin'"

Moogaboo says: "When she's not destroying her rivals in ritualistic murder-medleys, the Vampyre Madge sometimes feels obligated to create new tunes to hump crucifixes to— but, sorry lady, this dreckitude isn't cutting it. And would someone please take away Martin Solveig's fucking headache-inducing bouncy-synth before he strikes again?"
D'luv says: "I was really, really on board for the Madonna renaissance, and it all looked so promising at the onset of 2012. There was the Golden Globe win. The Super Bowl performance. The funny Graham Norton interview. Alas, wrangling in Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for this weak lead single off MDNA was a desperate move for Ye Olde Vampyre, and it all rapidly plummeted from there."
PREVIOUS TRIUMPH: Who's that girl? Why, it's Madonna, duckies, and her "4 Minutes" climbed all the way to #6 on our Worst Singles Of 2008 list!

4. Maroon 5, "One More Night"

D'luv says: "Adam Levine surely has to be plagued on a daily basis by the fact that he sold his soul to corporate rock whoredom. And, really, what artist doesn't want to have hits? The anomaly here is that this faux-reggae tripe was #1 for nine weeks, and I can't hum a bar of it to save my life."
Moogaboo says: "Remember when Adam's godawful, mayonnaise-flavored vocals could only make it to #86 on the charts? Those are the days I miss."

3. Karmin, "Brokenhearted"

Moogaboo says: "These kids obviously have a generous uncle in the chart-bothering biz, so I'm just going to ignore them until their payola source dries up and they disappear forever. Fingers crossed."
D'luv says: "All I'm going to point out is this: the weekend these two happened with their SNL performance, Whitney died. Coincidence?"

2. Flo Rida, "Whistle"

D'luv says: "No, Little Johnny, Flo Rida isn't rap-singing about whistling. He's rambling on about a lady putting her mouth on his dick. And you can bet that doing so is almost as disappointing an experience as listening to this track the whole way through."
Moogaboo says: "I love that it took six writers to come up with the least subtle metaphor for cocksucking since, oh, Flo Rida's 'Right Round'."

1. Nicki Minaj, "Pound The Alarm"

Moogaboo says: "On her best day, Nicki Minaj might be mistaken for a reject from RuPaul's Drag Race, but mostly she just seems like a waste of lash glue. This overproduced anthem adds an annoying dose of RedOne to Nicki's usual try-hard mix, which I find simply unforgivable.
D'luv says: "The American dream is open to many interpretations, but here's mine: gluing a pink wig onto a grand piano, then dropping it on Nicki Minaj."

Madonna's 'Erotica' Turns 20

Madonna's Erotica — probably the album of hers I listen to the most — turns 20 tomorrow (October 20). Check out Xolondon's excellent writeup on the LP's legacy at Idolator.

Incidentally, I'm seeing Ye Olde Vampyre in concert tomorrow night.

It's Madonna's "Turn Up The Radio" Video

Madonna's "Turn Up The Radio" turns out to be another classic case of the music video being better than the song itself. In fact, I think this is Ye Olde Vampyre's best video of the three MDNA singles (sorry, gays who saw Jesus and spoke in tongues over that trashy "Girl Gone Wild" clip) — let alone her best one since Confessions era.

Maybe the reason is because Madge is in her natural element here. No, I'm not talking about the Italian setting. I mean the fact that she's an old cougar riding around in a car, picking up young men to drain the life force out of.



Dance with Madonna at your own risk, boys. She'll live for thousands of years, regardless, while you'll end up dead at 28, face down in a ditch with your boxer briefs around your ankles.

Turn up the radio!

Madonna Shoots "Turn Up The Radio" Video In Florence, Italy

Yes, Ye Olde Vampyre fans, it seems the MDNA campaign isn't six feet under just yet. Madge was snapped by manager Guy Oseary while shooting the video for third single "Turn Up The Radio" in Florence yesterday.

Am I the only one who thought Madonna was the old hooker in torn stockings sucking on a hookah in the back of the car? Turns out that's not her — she's on the right, in the cheap Village People get-up.

Meanwhile, this was me in Florence four years ago. Madonna's always ripping me off.

US Chart Roundup: Gotye Still Rules, Train Climbs And The Wanted Sink

Gotye and Kimbra rack up a fifth straight week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with "Somebody That I Used To Know", which puts the song just behind "We Are Young" by fun. and Janelle Monae as far as the most weeks spent at #1 this year (six). And unfortunately for both of these tunes, they've now reached the point where I want to take a baseball bat and smash the radio every time each of them come on (which, really, is like every two minutes).

Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" — another one I never want to hear again in my life — finally drops out of the Top 10, making way for Train's "Drive By" to zip up to the #10 position.

Elsewhere, Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close" is stuck at #12 yet again, Adele's "Rumour Has It" is still at #16, Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" jumps 11 rungs to #18, Karmin's "Brokenhearted" cracks the Top 20 (at #20) and Ellie Goulding's "Lights" moves up to #26. A bit further down, David Guetta and Sia's "Titanium", a previous #1 single in the UK, is up to #46.

Over on the Top 200 album chart, where Carrie Underwood's Blown Away is #1 for a second week, Keane's Strangeland debuts at #17, while Nicki Minaj's Roman Reloaded drops out of the Top 20 (at #21) in its sixth week, The Wanted flop all the way down to #61 in their third week on the chart with their self-titled EP and Madonna's MDNA sinks to #71 in its seventh week.

At this point people aren't even going to realize which album Madge is touring for by the time her tour hits America.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra *5 weeks*
2. "Payphone" - Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
3. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae
4. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen
5. "Wild Ones" - Flo Rida feat. Sia
6. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
7. "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction
8. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
9. "Boyfriend" - Justin Bieber
10. "Drive By" - Train

US Chart Roundup: 'MDNA' RIP

The Billboard Hot 100 is pretty flat this week, as once again there are no new songs in the Top 10, and Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" zipping into the Top 40 (from #78 to #29) is about the only single action worth mentioning.

And over on the Top 200, where Carrie Underwood's Blown Away is the #1 album, let's face it — Madonna MDNA Death Watch has become quite an event. In its sixth week on the chart, Ye Olde Madgepyre's LP has dropped to #65.

So is "Turn Up The Radio" really getting a single release? And a music video? All has been quiet on that front, no? Perhaps it's going to be another quickly-thrown-together clip of live footage from the tour? Guaranteed hit!

That broad needs to just quit being so cheap, pay Quentin Tarantino a bucket of cash to direct a crazy "Gang Bang" video where she goes batshit, oh-so-subtly flies back to England with a machine gun and mows down every dude who looks like her ex-husband, and then bid this album adieu. It would be the classy thing to do. And who knows, maybe half a decade from now, people will look back and say, you know what, we didn't give MDNA a chance — that was some hot trash.

Yeah, or maybe Madonna peaked with Ray Of Light 14 years ago, had a lucky blip on the radar again with Confessions and that's that.

On a final note, I've been on the road since the weekend, so sorry it's been quiet around here this week. All will return to sexy this coming weekend.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra *4 weeks*
2. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae
3. "Payphone" - Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
4. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen
5. "Wild Ones" - Flo Rida feat. Sia
6. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
7. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
8. "Boyfriend" - Justin Bieber
9. "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction
10. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Kelly Clarkson

US Chart Roundup: Ellie Goulding & The Rest Of The Brits

Fourteen months after her album Lights was released in the US, and over two years after it first dropped in her home country, UK electro-pop broad Ellie Goulding finally lands her first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, with title song "Lights." The song slides up nine positions this week to #40.

A quick survey of the rest of the Brits in the upper reaches of the chart finds The Wanted back up one to #4 with "Glad You Came", and their boy band rivals One Direction down to #9 with "What Makes You Beautiful." Guess calling Christina Aguilera a bitch has its pluses?

Scottish stud Calvin Harris is at #13 with "Feel So Close," a song he just can't seem to get in the Top 10 (it previously peaked at #12), while Adele's latest single "Rumour Has It" is lodged at #16 for another week. Meanwhile, Calvin and Ne-Yo's "Let's Go" debuts at #89.



As for the the Top 10 itself, the songs remain the same but just shuffle slightly. If you're on Carly Rae Jepsen Watch, she now has a Top 5 hit.

And over on the Top 200 album chart, if you're on Madonna MDNA Death Watch, the LP has dropped out of the Top 40 in its fifth week, and is currently clinging to #45.

Whatever. I still say there are a few jams on there.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra *3 weeks*
2. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae
3. "Payphone" - Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
4. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
5. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen
6. "Wild Ones" - Flo Rida feat. Sia
7. "Boyfriend" - Justin Bieber
8. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
9. "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction
10. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Kelly Clarkson

Madonna's Full 'Rock Center' Interview

Here's Ye Olde Vampyre's interview with Harry Smith on Rock Center that aired last night. Odd that she waited till now to do any type of promo for MDNA — now that it's flizz-opped out of the Top 10 on the Top 200 in its third week — and that she chose this outlet to do so.

Anyway, there's nothing earth-shattering here. She chides Lourdes for smoking, says "it's hard to be #1" and talks about feeling tired of the game at this point.

Marvel at Madge below, pop chyldryn.

US Chart Roundup: Gotye Goes From Down Under To On Top

It's a pretty flat week on the Hot 100, save for the fact that Gotye and Kimrba's "Somebody That I Used To Know" has become the seventh single of the year to top the chart. Strangely, we're well into April, but only one of those seven singles — Katy Perry's "Part Of Me" — wasn't released last year.

"Somebody That I Used To Know" got an added boost last week after being covered by Darren Criss and Matthew Bomer on Glee and performed by Gotye and Kimbra on Saturday Night Live.

At any rate, Gotye, who was born in Belgium but relocated to Australia when he was 2 years old, is now the first artist from Down Under to reach #1 since Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" climbed to the top in 2000.

He's also only the second Belgian artist (technically) to do so, and the first since this poor broad, The Singing Nun (aka Jeanine Deckers), in 1963:



The Singing Nun, who was also known as Sœur Sourire, or Sister Smile, committed suicide in 1985 with her lesbian partner after she was unable to cough up unpaid taxes owed to the Belgian government. So invest your cash wisely, Gotye.

Over on the Top 200 album chart, Madonna's MDNA has flopped out of the Top 10 after only two weeks, as it falls from #8 to #18.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra *1 week*
2. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae
3. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
4. "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction
5. "Boyfriend" - Justin Bieber
6. "Wild Ones" - Flo Rida feat. Sia
7. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
8. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen
9. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Kelly Clarkson
10. "Part Of Me" - Katy Perry

Madonna's 'MDNA' Tops US Album Chart

Ye Olde Vampyre's is no doubt feasting on a bowl of chyldryn this morning in celebration. MDNA sold 359,000 copies in its first week, enough to easily put it at #1 on Billboard's Top 200. This marks Madge's eighth chart-topping album, which puts her in second place among broads, just behind Barbra Streisand, who has nine.

While Vampyre's previous LP Hard Candy "only" opened with 280,000, MDNA had a special promotion tied in with it where those who purchased tickets for Madonna's upcoming tour had the option to receive a copy of the album, either a physical or download version, as part of their purchase. Those who chose to receive a copy contributed to the first-week sales.

Clever.

UK Chart Roundup: Madonna's "Girl Gone Wild" Is #1 While 'MDNA' Album Flops

Madonna's latest single "Girl Gone Wild" achieves far greater success on the UK chart than previous single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" did, as it becomes the Material Broad's first #1 single since "4 Minutes". It also marks Ye Olde Vampyre's first Top 10 hit in the country since "Celebration" reached #3 in 2009.

Meanwhile, despite topping the album charts in nearly a dozen countries so far, Madonna's 12th studio LP MDNA has limped into the UK chart at a lowly #27. Quite a contrast from Hard Candy, which somehow landed at the undeserving position of #1 back in 2008. Perhaps it's time for Madge to finally slither back into the coffin and go down for the Fynal Nap?

Oh, just kidding. April Fool's Day! MDNA is #1 in the UK, giving Her Tradgesty a 12th chart-topping album — a feat that now puts her ahead of Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most #1s.

And as for "Girl Gone Wild" — total flopsville! Lady beater Chris Brown's generic shit track "Turn up The Music" is the #1 single.

Hoo-razzly-dazzly!

The UK Top 10:

1. "Turn Up The Music" - Chris Brown *new* *1 week*
2. "She Doesn't Mind" - Sean Paul
3. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
4. "Part Of Me" - Katy Perry
5. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra
6. "Ill Manors" - Plan B *new*
7. "Wild Ones" - Flo Rida feat. Sia
8. "Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
9. "Last Time" - Labrinth
10. "Next To Me" - Emeli Sande

Madonna's 12 Studio Album Covers, Ranked From Worst To Best

It's Madonna's "Girl Gone Wild" Video

 

Madonna's "Girl Gone Wild" video, her second from MDNA, was directed by photographers Mert and Marcus, and very much has the feel of a fashion spread.

Madge is clearly feeling iconic again, or at least aiming to assert her queenly status in this era of pop wannabes gone wild. And when Her Madgesty is feeling iconic, Her Madgesty goes black and white and straight to the sex (see: "Vogue,""Justify My Love," "Erotica," etc.).



Not a bad addition to Ye Olde Vampyre's catalog of visuals, overall, and the song — a lesser trifle compared to some of the other superb tracks lying in wait on MDNA — is not nearly as entertaining on its own.

Madonna 'MDNA' Previews: "Best Friend", "I Fucked Up", "Beautiful Killer" & "Superstar"

Trying to keep up with Madonna's MDNA song leaks is like trying to contain a ant invasion. (Sorry, I'm having a problem at home with the pesky little pests — ants, I mean. Not Madonna songs.) But as I sit here, post-SXSW, finally wading through the new clips from Ye Olde Vampyre, I'm pretty much like what I hear.

Last week we took a listen to "I'm Addicted,""Love Spent" and "Gang Bang." Below is the latest crop, ahead of the March 26 release of MDNA.

"Best Friend": Love the synthy, staccato production here from the Benassis and Demolition Crew. The lyrics aren't even that bad! Another stab at Guy Ritchie?




"Superstar": "I'll give you a massage when you get home"?"You're Abe Lincoln, 'cause you fight for what's right"??? Okay, okay — cheeseball lyrics aside, it's nice to hear Madge doing a straight-up happy pop song.



"Falling Free": Thank Christ this broad is working with William Orbit again. Beautiful ballad that annihilates her last album, the two Celebration singles and "Give Me All Your Luvin'".



"I Don't Give A": Take that, Guy. Not to sound like a broken record, but imagine if this had been the first MDNA single? I guess you could say that about any of these tracks. Another one that features Nicki Minaj, as well as a defiant Madge and production by Martin Solveig. I'm officially going to love this album.



"Beautiful Killer": More Martin Solveig, more allusions to praying and shooting, more awesomeness. Something about this song sounds very '90s to me. The lush production is great.



"I Fucked Up": Madge lays it on the line and owns up to her mistakes. Solveig's production here is sort of reminding me of "Nothing Fails" a bit. Really sweet track.

Madonna's 'MDNA' Previews So Far: "I'm Addicted," "Love Spent" & "Gang Bang"

The world at large continues to be perplexed by Madonna's MDNA. While many of Ye Olde Vampyre's fans lamented the choices of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "Girl Gone Wild" as the first two singles off the album, track-by-track reviews from such outlets at the Telegraph and PopJustice seem to indicate that we'll be jamming Barbie Doll legs up ourselves over this record for quite some time.

So, for us peons who've missed out on being invited to some swank London listening party for the album, let's rate the clips we've heard so far over the past week.

"I'm Addicted": This trash didn't impress me the first few times I played it. It's not really easy to guage based on this minute-long snippet alone, but, I've since changed my mind, I have a feeling it might turn out to be quite a jam. Still, that "M, D, N, A! M, D, N, A!" is someone annoying, no?



"Love Spent": Finally, the first song from this whole shebang that sounds like it has a catchy pop melody! This short clip alone has made me forgive the broad for Hard Candy and Music.



"Gang Bang": Oooh, Madge is getting dark. This is what I picture plays in her mind when she's soaring through the air like the Vampyre that she is, in search you young blood. Seriously, though, it's nice to finally hear her going in a different direction. Those first two so-so singles appeared to signal that Madge and all involved had run out of ideas. But "Gang Bang" has her getting all Lil' Kim on a bitch, which could well be just how we like her now.

US Chart Roundup: Fun. & Janelle Monae Land Their First #1 With "We Are Young"

It took a boost from being featured on both Glee in December and in a Chevy ad that ran during the Super Bowl, but nevertheless, fun.'s "We Are Young" has become the sixth song to top the Hot 100 in 2012. (I'm counting Rihanna and Calvin Harris' "We Found Love," which technically topped the chart in 2011 but returned to #1 for two more non-consecutive weeks in late January.) This marks fun. and Monae's first #1 singles.

Meanwhile, over on the Top 200 album chart, fun.'s Some Nights drops from its #3 debut position to #12 this week. Adele's 21 is tops for a 23rd non-consecutive week, and if she remains there one more time, she'll have caught up the 24-week stints both Prince And The Revolution's Purple Rain (1984) and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1978) had.

Speaking of Adele, her fourth single from 21, "Rumour Has It," cracks the Top 40 of the Hot 100 this week as it moves up to #39. And speaking of Calvin Harris, his "Feel So Close" also moves into the Top 40 — his first solo single to do so in the US. It's up 12 positions to #34.



Further down the chart, Ellie Goulding's year-old "Lights" inches up to #78, while Madonna drops from #58 to #86 with "Give Me All Your Luvin'" in only its fifth week on the chart. Last week Billboard predicted that "Girl Gone Wild," Madonna's second MDNA single, would enter the Hot 100 this week after going on sale Friday. Alas, twas not to be, as the song never rose higher than #31 on iTunes over the past six days.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae *1 week*
2. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Kelly Clarkson
3. "Set Fire To The Rain" - Adele
4. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
5. "Part Of Me" - Katy Perry
6. "Starships" - Nicki Minaj
7. "Young, Wild & Free" - Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa
8. "Turn Me On" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj
9. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra
10. "We Found Love" - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris

US Chart Roundup: The Wanted Have A Top 10 Hit

Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" rebounds to #1 on the Hot 100 this week, thankfully knocking Katy Perry's Z-grade "Part Of Me" down to #4. Some chyldryn were frenzied last week thinking that this meant the blue-wigged warbler finally landed a sixth chart-topping single off Teenage Dream. Alas, no — Whipped Cream Tits merely saw her first single from Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection chart at the top. At least that's how I'm choosing to see it.

Meanwhile, my jam "Glad You Came" by The Wanted flies up from #23 to #5 following its inclusion on Glee last week. The show's cast version of the song, which, I must say, I was a little disappointed in, debuts at #90.



So how long has it been since a boy band had a Top 10 hit here? I feel like NSYNC's 2002 single "Girlfriend" the last one, no?

Elsewhere, Sia makes her first appearance in the Top 40 via her feature on Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" (#35), Calvin Harris climbs 31 positions to #46 with "Feel So Close," One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" drops to #50 after debuting at #28 last week and Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin'" falls to #58 in its fourth week on the Hot 100.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Kelly Clarkson *3 weeks*
2. "Set Fire To The Rain" - Adele
3. "We Are Young" - fun. feat. Janelle Monae
4. "Part Of Me" - Katy Perry
5. "Glad you Came" - The Wanted
6. "We Found Love" - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris
7. "Good Feeling" - Flo Rida
8. "Turn Me On" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj
9. "Young, Wild & Free" - Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa
