#Top40Tweets for the week ending March 25th

March 25, 2011

At the end of each week, #Top40Tweets lists a cross-section of artists on the current pop charts and puts their tweets on display (along with their current chart number) for your enjoyment/scrutiny. This week, we look at 5 artists on the Billboard Music Charts.

#58: Jessie J – Price Tag

Oi! Bung that there suitcase in the boot ye barmy bloke, and get this bird where she needs to be in a chivvy! Daft Yank! #cockneypopstars

Worth Following?: No. Pitchfork raised a good point (go figure) in their recent scathing review of Jessie J’s record. With Beyoncé, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Robyn all dominating the charts, there’s not a ton of room for another female pop singer on that level.

#63: Trey Songz – Love Faces

Hey, it happened to Pamela Anderson, Dustin Diamond, Fred Durst, John Edwards, Kim Kardashian, Tonya Harding, Paris Hilton, Rob Lowe, Colin Farrell, Vince Neil, Kid Rock, Scott Stapp, Gene Simmons, Tila Tequila, Tom Sizemore, Chyna, and Verne Troyer, and they all still have careers, right?

Worth Following?: Yes. I’m not convinced that Trey Songz is the saviour of R&B, but I do think he’s a pretty charismatic and entertaining fella. I’m not holding my breath for a sex-tape, though. I’m still working my way through the list above. #gross

#65: Fabolous – You Be Killin Em

I guess I finally have a reason to throw out my old Dickies cutoffs. #youwin,mom

Worth Following?: Yes. Fabolous is a clever guy, and he’s good with a hashtag. Any rapper who’ll tweet about watching To Catch A Predator is worth a follow in my books. Which reminds me, I should really be following @chrishansen.

#76: Snoop Dogg – Boom

I just love Snoop’s little emoticon spliff. It inspired me to create this:
