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 7 artists on the Billboard Music Charts.
#2: Katy Perry – E.T. feat. Kanye West
I would have posted the follow-up twitpic of Katy climbing into the Kangaroo’s pouch, and getting all covered in marsupial fluid (see: kangaroo goo), but it was totally NSFW.
Worth Following?: Yep. Katy is one of few Top 40 stars who has a genuine and engaging online presence. In my experience, the Internet adores cute animal pictures, so this tweet is a home run.
#17: Wiz Khalifa – Roll Up
A thought so deep, it sends shivers down my spine.
Worth Following?: Yes. It wouldn’t be a Top 40 Tweets column without featuring at least one Wiz-ism. When he’s not tweeting about how high he is, he’s starting beef with other rappers arguing about who knows more about weed.
#10: Chris Brown – Look At Me Now
The grown up piece-of-shit Chris Brown waxes nostalgic about when he was merely a skid mark, playing with other little shit stains where he grew up in Poopy Pants Land.
Worth Following?: I hate this man. Can you tell?
#6: Britney Spears – Till The World Ends
In last week’s column, Brit was yapping about serving her kids “Mama’s Homemade Sweet Tea,” and with good reason. It’s a sophisticated and intricate recipe. I can see why she would be proud. I managed to find a copy online, check it out:
- Make Tea
- Add one (1) fuckton of sugar
- Stir
Worth Following?: Yes. If you want to follow Brit and other celebrities like her, just follow the convenient Twitter-list I made. It’s called “Celebrity Car Crash Nightmare Bizarre-O-Vision.”
#5: Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song
The Tiffinee Calling the Bruno Dumb; a modern re-invention of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black. ‘N stuff.
Worth Following?: No. I guess you could say I’m not too hot on Bruno Mars. His infectious melodies haunt my brains and make me want to murder people to a pop soundtrack, Patrick Bateman style.
Uncharted: Justin Bieber – Never Say Never
After being called a brat by a producer on CSI, Bieber took to twitter to rant about it.
Worth Following?: Yes. I actually totally agree with JB on this one. I’d be mortified if it was an international news story every time I sent a sandwich back at a deli. I’M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MY SANDWICHES, OK WORLD?
Uncharted: Dev – Bass Down Low
Alright, that’s too much slang for me to handle alone. Urban Dictionary, tell me what “gurped” means:
I’m not 100% sure if Dev used it in the right context. All I know is that I’m very interested in purchasing gurped mugs, t-shirts, and magnets.
Worth Following?: Nah. The only thing of value Dev has ever done is point me in the direction of trucker hats that say “gurped” on them.
