Should have been a hit. It's infinitely more compatible with the format than material like "In The End" or even "Numb." Pop completely slept on this one.

This song really just aggravates me. There's no flow, no substantial hook... it never leads anywhere. Having said that, it's not a totally lost cause since the production is incredibly hot in places. Yet even the breakdowns are marred by will.i.am's asinine interjections. "I BE ROCKIN' THEM BEATS!" "THIS BEAT BE BUMPIN', THIS BEAT GO BOOM BOOM!" Really?
If there was any structure to speak of, this might actually be decent.

This is SO hot, and I was prepared to despise it with that title. All the girls at school are singing it. I could really do without T-Pain rapping about his "pants getting bigger," however.

I really doubt it's something they'd get worked up over. The song went #1 on the Hot 100 and accomplished its goal - getting Kelly back in radio's good grace and putting her career back on track. Whether it peaks at #1 or #2 at Pop means nothing to the consumer.

Starting to take off, +402 at #27. I'm digging this more than any of the other singles from this album, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a ringing endorsement in itself.

First "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)," now "Blue?" LOL, he really does not give two sh*ts about his urban cred. This might be too annoying for me, and for everyone who ragged on Kesha, this girl's an even worse singer.

This should make for an...interesting video. LMAO @ the juxtaposition of Nicole's outfit and the blonde with booty shorts.

March 10 is already slated as the adds date; KIIS, KISS/Dallas, Hot 95.7, Channel 933 and others already jumped on board this week. I'd say this is the lead single.

I really don't even know how I feel about this. The "boom boom boom" is catchy and there's a nice groove on the whole, but it's kind of a clusterf**k at the same time. How many songs have this many breakdowns? Most of them are hot, but the one that kicks in around 3:20 is weird as hell. Fergie's screaming is whack, too. Definitely going to need time to mold a solid opinion.

Added in each of the top 3 markets this week - Z100, KIIS and WKSC are all on board, along with 12 pretty solid stations.

Is this going to end up bigger than "Crank That?" Looking possible, shockingly enough. Picks up 20 new stations at Pop (fourth most added), including Hot 99-5, KDWB and Z107-7.

Okay, this is growing on me, but I still cringe the novelty college party references, especially the bridge. My sentiments exactly. The "CHUG CHUG!! FRESHMAN! KEG STAND!" is aggravating, but it's starting to click overall. Probably because I'm 100% in college mode now, LOL. I know the Eminem comparisons are almost too easy, but I actually think their speaking voices are alike (check the intro and spoken segment of the bridge - "If everybody would please put their drink as high as they can." Anyway, 21 stations made this third most added at Pop. It's new at KISS/Dallas, Hot 95.7/Houston and a few others. I'm thinking the adds will roll in at a fairly consistent pace. It's definitely on the verge of ubiquity, as it's now Top 10 at iTunes and makes for a perfect spring break anthem.

Second most added at Pop with 22 stations, most notably Q102, WFLZ and KISSFM/Phoenix. There's no way this will be around longer than a few weeks. And I know this has been beaten into the ground, but seeing (featuring Nicole Scherzinger) is absolutely hysterical.

Easily most added at CHR again, this time with 39 adds including Q102, WFLZ and XM 20 on 20. This is starting to look like a substantial hit. It's a pretty catchy song, but I think we all know why it's working...

I'm excited! Sounds like it could be good from the description and title. Rob rarely disappoints.

They're pushing this to Pop?? ROTFL. I've been hearing this on one of my rock stations for a while and, unsurprisingly, it's their worst single ever. It's going to bomb to oblivion at CHR!

I don't object to a bunch of #1's granted that they're all meritorious. The way I see it, if lots of quality songs are sharing the top spot, that's great news. Thus far, the only subpar chart-topper was "Single Ladies," and even I'll concede that it deserved a #1 berth because it was so major.

I would imagine that this will get pushed to Urban eventually. Justin's established there, and this isn't any less compatible with the format than Ciara's 2005 material.

I'm not complaining about this song's run, a #4 peak is tremendous. But you can't tell me that this shouldn't have gotten #1 when "U + Ur Hand" and "So What" managed that feat (although I love those two as well).

Congrats! We're getting treated to a string of great Pop #1's, and with Kelly, Flo Rida and The Fray as upcoming contenders, it seems the streak isn't going to be broken too quickly.

Ehh...I really wish they'd gone in a different direction, especially since they got the immature single out of the way with MLWSWY, and this isn't nearly as good regardless. The positive news is that since this will be a hit, we're guaranteed another two or three releases. Hopefully they'll delve into the better material when they get that chance.

You'll LOVE it. I can't tell you the last time I bought a full album, but I took the plunge on this one last night and it was worth every penny.

Still so hot. The production, vocals and lyrics all blend together damn near perfectly.

#5 on the Most Added list at CHR this week...no major markets though. I wonder when Z100 is going to make the jump, I imagine they'll have to eventually.

Looks like Jive knew what they were doing. It's already second most added a week north of its impact date at CHR with 28 stations, including Z100, KISS/Chicago, KISSFM/Dallas, Q100, KRBE and Hot 95.7.
