Yearender: Low Ain't Low in Billboard

This is the time of the year where I am so excited. Well aside from the holidays what I really look forward around this month are the YEAREND CHARTS haha.

Anyway, Billboard already release their yearend charts, starting today I would feature some highlights from their yearend charts. By the way in case you did not know, Billboard's chart year is altered it starts December of the outgoing year to November of the incoming year. Why? They need to do that since they have to release their yearend issue in time for December.
For today, I wil feature the Yearend Hot 100 featuring the top 100 singles of Billboard for 2008. Low by Flo Rida feat T-Pain topped the chart.


I was actually rooting for Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love (#2) or OneRepublic's Apologize (#5) but Low isn't that bad since it is really a memorable dance tune. Who could forget that insanely catchy chorus "apple bottom jeans, boots with a fur...." I know you could finish it It was also a banner year for Chris Brown as he have four songs in the top 20, #6 for Jordin Spark's No Air which he was a featured artist, #9 for With You, #10 for Forever and #19 for Kiss,Kiss. Brown's rumored girlfriend Rihanna also did well although none of her songs made it to the top 10 she still has three top 20 hits with Take a Bow at #12, Disturbia at #16 and Don't Stop The Music at #17. Rihanna is also at #37 as featured artist for T.I's Live Your Life. T.I's seven week #1 single Whatever You Like is at #15 , another seven week #1 single I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry is notch higher (#14). Rapper Lil Wayne has lots of entries in the chart with Lolllipop leading the pack at #4. Some of my favorites that made it to the Top 100 are Love Song by Sarah Bareilles (#7),Viva La Vida by Coldplay (#13), I'm Yours by Jason Mraz (#27), Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park (#55), Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade (#58), Say by John Mayer (#60), Love Like This by Natasha Bedingfield feat Sean Kingston (#72) and Addicted by Saving Abel (#97). There are 2007 hits who also made it to this year's tally such as Colbie Caillat's Bubbly (#21), Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry (#78) and Timbaland's The Way I Are (#96). American Idol 2008 champion David Cook is at #69 with The Time of My Life while runner up David Archuleta is at #76 with Crush. Last year's winner Jordin Sparks also did well aside from No Air at #6, she also has two other singles that made the list Tattoo at #30 and One Step at a Time at #61. Britney Spears also charted with Womanizer at #80 and Piece of Me at #93. while veterans Mariah Carey and Madonna ranked right to next each other with Carey's Touch My Body at #22 and Madonna's 4 Minutes at #23. Disney acts were also represented as Miley Cyrus charted with her songs, See You Again at #31 and 7 Things #93 , and the Jonas Brothers' Burnin Up at #73. Over all the chart is still dominated by r&b and hip hop songs.
