Greatest Gainer SpotlightSoaring ahead 8 spots from #21 to #13 is Gwen Stefani with her brand new single "Cool". The song is making it clear that it's intentions are to earn Gwen her fourth #1 hit in a row. And because of her persistence, Gwen Stefani becomes the "Artist Of The Week". Go Gwen!
DebutsDebuting at #36 is Brooke Valentine with her first single, "Girlfight". The song features the famous Lil Jon production, and has Outkast's Big Boi lending a hand as well. This one is pretty old, but the flare is still there. Brooke isn't here to play, and she's willing to "throw them bows" to get to the top.
Jumping aboard at #39 is Britney Spears with her song, "Someday (I Will Understand)". It's nice to see that Britney is growing up, and this song proves that her maturity level has grown. She's definitely a proud Mama of her child, even though her husband is milking her for all he can. Let's see her understand that! For now though, it's nice to have someone delivering maturity to the chart, even if it's Britney in one of her most surprising moves yet.
If you've ever wondered what ghetto cheesiness sounds like, just take a listen to Bow Wow's new single, "Let Me Hold You", which features Omarion. The song is your typical fluff, but it's still a nice Hip-Hop/R&B piece, and seeing as how I enjoy fluff, it should do pretty well. And just as a reminder, if 50 Cent can get to #12 with a line like "I love you like a fat kid loves cake", then Bow Wow and "I just gotta work at it like a crack addict stuck in rehab" have the potential to go even higher, since I don't dislike Bow Wow like I do 50.
ExtraDue to the lateness of the debut, Bobby Valentino's "Slow Down" is being replaced by his new single, "Tell Me". This is really not a big deal, but still worthy of notice. And in case you're wondering if this is fair, it is, because I did give this a bit of thought last week, and the songs are interchangeable, in the sense of the way they would chart. "Slow Down" just missed out, is all.
