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 6 artists on the Billboard Music Charts.
#15: Chris Brown –Look At Me Now
“Sometimes, when I get nervous, I put my fingers under my arms, and then smell them like this…”
Worth Following?: Someone give this rage-a-holic brat an SNL spin-off movie. I think it would be equal parts Mango and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Yes, I recommend following him, but only for the bizarre rantings and twitpics. Note that following someone doesn’t necessarily mean you support that person. You just want to watch them fall from grace, via the comfort of your mobile device.
#18: Jason Derulo – Don’t Wanna Go Home
It doesn’t so much look like a “hang” as much as it looks like their publicists told them to stand next to one another for two minutes.
Worth Following?: Yes. A friend of Manilow is a friend of mine. Come on, how can you deny the guy who sang “Mandy”?
#23: Wiz Khalifa – Roll Up
Movie Idea: A Wiz Khalifa Christmas Special (“A Wizmas Carol”), wherein Wiz is visited by the Ghosts of Chronic’s Past.
Worth Following?: Yes. His weed-addled brain gives birth to some of the weirdest tweets. I seriously think his twitter could be the second account spun-off into a hit sitcom. Shit My Stoned Millionaire Rapper Friend Says, coming this fall on Peachtree TV.
#11: Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get Enough
i.am getting so sick of your bullshit.
Worth Following?: No. He’s crazy in the most boring way possible. I think will.i.am actually believes he is a humanoid robot sent from the future to save the planet via innoccuous electro pop music. And as interesting as that sounds, it’s totally not. Yawnsville. NEXT.
#16: Bad Meets Evil – Lighters feat. Bruno Mars
Meet the latest rap supergroup. Comprised of Detroit based rappers Eminem (heard of him?) and Royce Da 5’9″, Bad Meets Evil is the latest vehicle for Marshall to be mad and yell about stuff.
Worth Following?: Royce Da 5’9″ has huge buzz in the hip-hop and mainstream world right now, but I’m not entirely convinced yet. I’m pretty sure Watch The Throne is gonna tear Bad Meets Evil a new arsehole when its finally released.
Andrew WK and Ke$ha?? The Duke and Duchess of Partydom spotted in the same place. It’s like seeing two rare endangered birds on the same branch. Beautiful.
