"SOS" rescues people from the pain of "Bad Day"

"Bad Day" was dethroned!! YES!! The new number one on the Billboard 100 is Rihanna's "SOS." This may not be the best pop song in history, but it sure is damn catchy. It's basically been stuck in my head since March. And the fact that it jumped 34...! It's gotta be the fact that kids can download it on iTunes now. I was hearing this song everywhere, my playlist, the radio, the music pumping overhead @ Wet Seal...and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't in the top 10. Guess Def Jam didn't want to release "SOS" as a single before the album, A Girl Like Me, was released. That's one hell of an annoying marketing move, let's hope it works. It was getting tiresome to see all those iMixes on iTunes with names like ***WE WANT SOS AND HIPS DONT LIE!!!11!!***. Shakira's "Hip's Don't Lie" isn't on iTunes yet. If you get the chance, buy Rihanna's album off of iTunes. It comes with three album-only remixes, and the SOS Nevin's Glam Club Mix is hot.

Who knew Brittany Murphy could sing? Check out Paul Oakenfold's "Faster Kill Pussycat." She sings lead -- and it's good dance/electronic too.

Rolling Stone's 1000th issue is out too. I finally got it in the mail yesterday. It's got everyone from Madonna to E.T. on it, in holographic 3D. In case you haven't seen this awesome cover yet, here it is (click to enlarge). Lots of "pop icons" present...
