Season 6 winner, Jordin Sparks’ duet with Chris Brown, “No Air” is #7. Pretty awesome for an Idol who had virtually no buzz coming off her win last year.

Jack Johnson is great, I love his music, especially In Between Dreams. He sells well in stores too. I always see that cd at Target and Walmart.
According to wikipedia, he is:
His father was a famous surfer. Jack was also a surfer until he had a bad accident, and while healing he wrote songs and played guitar. His songs have a unique Hawaiian beat that is so mellow. He’s really easy to listen to and his songs have meaningful lyrics too. Like “where have all the good people gone” …
p.s. It’s great to have both Davids on the charts. It doesn’t matter to me whose song was out longer or who is higher on the list or any of that. They both made the top song list, that is something to celebrate.
Were any other Idols on the list?
I guess for the same reason people bought the AI studio versions from the Beatles week, and the Mariah week, and so on. Personally for me, it’s always interesting to hear some covers, sometimes a different interpretation gives a different perspective to the song.
I like to hear different versions of songs, as long as they are worthy renditions with something new to contribute. Like DA’s Imagine on the show, or DC’s covers (I loved Maria Carey week). Jason’s Over the Rainbow was nice too, though it was a cover of that Hawaiian guy’s amazing version (he has a long name and I’m too busy to go look it up on my itunes).
The Beatles songs have been covered by hundreds of singers over the years. They wrote great songs that singers like to sing and people don’t tire of hearing.
Nice to see Jason Mraz on that list too. I don’t like that Leona Lewis song but I don’t like r&b or hiphop type music at all. I’m more into rock, alternative, folk, acoustic, and a wee bit of the new country.
Yeah for me most especially I like it when a guy covers a song that a girl originally sang and vice versa. It totally gives a whole new meaning to the song. I think that’s part of the reason why Mariah Carey week went over so well for the guys and flopped hard for the girls.
Because the actors did a fine job singing some quintessential Beatles songs. At least, that is why I bought the album (and I didn’t even get to see the movie).
If you have ever seen the animated movie “Curious George” which features the voices of Will Farrell and Drew Barrymore, then you know Jack Johnson, as he wrote the songs for the soundtrack…
Both Jason Castro and Jack Johnson have a similar vibe, and it is indeed a delightful one… :happy_tb:
Good Lord…Sara Bareilles is the #5 album…..GAG!!! Sorry to any of her fans here, but I saw her in concert about a month ago and was so freakin bored I left early. My friend and I both thought that all her songs sounded exactly the same. It was like listening to one long song for an hour….shudders!!! The best sounding song that was completely different was the cover of a Feist song she sang. Was not impressed AT ALL!!! well except for the time she told some idiot in the audience to FUCK OFF!!! LOL
I finally got a chance to look at the itunes Top 100 myself. As glad as I am to see Magic Rainbow at #58, I can’t say that I’m happy to see it bookended by Britney and Miley Cyrus. Doesn’t seem like the best company for a nice little Magic Rainbow.
“Was not impressed AT ALL!!! well except for the time she told some idiot in the audience to FUCK OFF!!! LOL”
she did this during her concert?…haha!
Yeah Rachel Maddow is no.1 on podcast~
