MY ACHY BREAKY HEART JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND: Sure, Timberlake has the current #1 single on iTunes, with most of the rest of the Top 10 being an odd mixture of rap/hip-hop (Akon, Ludacris, Fergie, Yankovic) and quasi-emo (Hinder, Snow Patrol, My Chemical Romance), but what strikes me as odd is that Hannah Montana has 8 different songs in the Top 100. Fergie has 4, but that includes both the clean and dirty versions of both "London Bridge" and "Fergalicious," Timberlake has 4, but that includes both clean and dirty versions of "SexyBack," and Nickelback and Rascal Flatts have 3 each (including Rascal Flatts' surprisingly long-legged "Life Is A Highway" cover from "Cars," which has been a top 100 fixture since June). I'm not particularly tuned in to tweenage culture (I still haven't seen High School Musical and have never seen a Hilary Duff film or owned a Hilary Duff album), but, faithful readers, am I missing anything in Billy Ray Cyrus' return to pop cultural prominence?
