La Simonina Hawt 20!

Ok this is rather early (this chart's not due till end of this month) but since I'm going to start school soon and may have no time for nonsense like this, and since I can't think of anything else to put here, I present you with the latest (fourth!) edition of my chart, which tracks the top 20 most-played songs on my I-pod, not for the previous 3 months, but rather the most-played of all time.

2 2 My Only Wish This Year Britney 109 (+0)
3 3 Irreplaceable Beyonce 108 (+2)

17 18 Not Ready To Make Nice Dixie Chicks 71 (+5)
17 14 SOS Rihanna 71 (+3)
19 13 Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely) Pink 70 (+1)
20 18 Fall To Pieces Avril 69 (+3)
20 16 Since U Been Gone (Original & Remix) 69 54&15 (+2)

As with the previous chart, we have 3 new entries. However, because Since U Been Gone and Fall To Pieces are tied at 69 and are both at 20, this edition of the chart has 21 songs instead and so only 2 songs fell out - Madonna's Get Together (66, +0) and Paris Hilton's Nothing In This World (68, +1). Nope, her incarceration didn't generate musical interest from me.

The top 5 is basically static, I don't know if anything is ever going to topple Hung Up. Expect to see some action from My Only Wish This Year by the next chart, although that's unlikely to challenge Madge for the number one spot yet.

Next up though is a new entry. Rihanna makes a smashing debut at number 6 with Umbrella, fulfilling my prediction that she would debut on this chart, although surpassing what I thought possible. Might have something to do with me meeting her last month =D. It's basically the highest debut positions-wise on my chart ever, a title shared with Irreplaceable which debuted on my second chart, although with only 80 spins compared with Rih Rih's whopping 100. Of course, as this chart progresses, it will be harder and harder for songs to debut in high positions, as the cumulative spins for every song increase in accordance with the passage of time, but that's another worry for another day. Ella ella eh eh eh!

Gwen advances a position from her splashy number 8 debut on the last chart. I'm still not sick of this song yet, so expect it to possibly advance further.

Next up is the other big debut, Avril's Girlfriend! Of course, I already had this song on my I-pod by the time I posted the previous chart, but I had not really gotten into it - or indeed Avril - yet. It took me a while to like Girlfriend, as I thought it was hella annoying when I first heard it. But most people do succumb after a while. Watch out for this to make further progress as I've just added the Lil Mama remix to my playlist (I can hear Meng groaning) and that is surely going to increase the total, although one could argue that bar the hooks, the remix is more Lil than Lavigne.

Get Right falls 3 spots although I doubt its position in the top 20 is in peril anytime soon. It's one of those songs I will listen to every now and then, as it Outrageous at 15, although I must admit that Britney's persistent...image problems and alleged antics are starting to slightly annoy me.

Haven't been listening to much Madonna of late, Confessions has had its day in the sun and consequently Sorry and Jump are nearly static and continue to slowly slide down the chart.

BSB still hanging in there, although they're out of the top 10. I'm surprised that this song has lasted as long as it did, but then again it is a great tune.

Mixed bag for Pink, who holds steady at 10 with Hand registering a +10 but falls to a perilous 19 as Leave Me Alone is, well, left alone by me. HAHA I'm so witty.

As I predicted, Gwen debuts with 4 In The Morning although I'm more or less done with this. Well, better to have made it in than never.

Same can be said for One, which I have not listened to even...ONCE (OMG more wit!) since the previous chart.

I'm surprised that Not Ready To Make Nice has advanced one spot. I haven't listened to this in ages.

SOS is an apt title indeed because this song is DYING on my chart. Yeah Yeah it's +3 thanks largely to renewed interest in Rihanna with her new album but I doubt it'd be around the next time. Fall To Pieces is going to fall to pieces too. Ho ho I'm so witty I'm killing myself. Right.

Finally, Since U Been Gone wouldn't even have been there if not for the fact that I suddenly felt the urge to listen to it today on the bus to the airport. Bear in mind that this wasn't done with intent to manipulate the chart (I had no idea where it would stand...I had no idea that I would do this damn chart today). It really is testament to, well, urm...how the most minor, random actions can have the most...random...minor consequences. Ok ya.

Another random fact. Extraordinary missed out on my last chart by 1 spin and guess what...it misses out on this latest chart by...1 spin. So don't count this out just yet.

On that note, what other songs are going to invade my top 20 the next time you see this? Place your bets on Like This by Kelly Rowland ft. Eve. I love that song and it should be here the next time bar any brick wall syndrome a la Upgrade U. A week ago I would have mentioned Avril's When You're Gone but I'm not digging this song too much now. Shut Up and Drive is another maybe. Who knows, GEISHA might China Wine herself there too! HAHA.

PS. the previous chart is in May and the second one is in Jan so go read those if you're interested. And i highly doubt you are but oh well.
