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.
#99: Tinie Tempah – Till I’m Gone feat. Wiz Khalifa
Sounds like Tyler was watching every episode of 1000 Ways to Die ever.
FUN FACT: In the 1000 Ways to Die episode titled “Fur Burger,” the show claims that in the 2nd century, one method of execution was wrapping the victim in freshly killed animal skins, tying him to a tree, and leaving him to be eaten alive by whatever carnivores happened to be in the area (a flock of vultures in this case). GOOD GOD.
#45: Afrojack – Take Over Control feat. Eva Simons
He is so delightfully ESL.
NICE SAVE, AFROJACK.
FUN FACT: “I’m On One” is fancy Drake-talk (originating from “I’m On One” by DJ Khaled) meaning that you’re on some kind of drug. Which drug do you think made Afrojack halucinate that he was on top of an airport? Ketamine? Yeah, he was probably in the K-Hole.
#11: Rihanna – Cheers (Drink To That)
Amidst rumors of Rihanna firing her manager Jay-Z, Rihanna took to Twitter to declare her allegiance.
FUN FACT: When Jay-Z totally stonewalled Chris Brown at the VMAs last week, that was enough to squash any rumor of Rihanna’s departure. That’s loyalty.
#28: Drake – Headlines
THUG TEARS:
NOT THUG TEARS:
FUN FACT: Lemme break down the ridiculous acronym at the end of Drake’s tweet, for those not up on their HIP HOP AFFILIATION ‘NYMS.
OVO – October’s Very Own, Drake & his pals.
XO – Trademark of Drake’s protege, The Weeknd
YMCM – Conglomerate of Young Money (Lil Wayne & Co.) & Cash Money (Birdman/Baby)
B – They’ve added an extra ‘B’ for ‘Billionaires’ on the end, for pizazz.
