EVERYTHING YOU OWN IN A BOX TO THE LEFT: Is it just me, or have we had a series of very depressing (lyrically at least) songs at the top of the Hot 100 in recent months? These include:
  • "Irreplacable" (10 weeks at #1), which is all about the dumping of a man.
  • "What Goes Around...Comes Around," which is all about a cheating girlfriend.
  • "Girlfriend," which, for all its peppy vaguely cheerleader-y-ness, has a chorus of "Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your girlfriend."

Also, this is the first year since 2002 to not feature a single #1 (so far) from anyone associated with Idol. (Another interesting thing I didn't realize--Kelly Clarkson's only #1 thus far? "A Moment Like This." "Breakaway" topped out at #3, "Since U Been Gone" at #2, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" at #6, and "Because of You" at #7)
