Music Trendsetter [Chart 2 = July 30 - August 5, 2011]

This week, a lot of newcomer songs entered the chart, and eleven songs shared the top ten seats. Unfortunately, some of the well-loved songs last week were booted out on the chart (including the OPM songs), and most of the remaining songs dropped down by few notches. Now, it is in you to make your favorite songs come back and take a seat at different positions on the chart on the succeeding weeks. Just vote at the poll situated at the sidebar or visit http://polldaddy.com/poll/5267213 (if you wish to add another song on the poll list, just leave a comment below the survey).

On to our countdown this week, the Korean female quartet Miss A managed to share the ninth spot with other songs. Good Bye Baby is their newest single under their first full-length album A Class. The catchy tune and upbeat tempo of the song gained interest on their Korean fans and other K-Pop supporters in some parts of the globe. However, its music video is quite dragging and feels very lifeless. The girls just looked like mastering their singing and dancing acts on what they rehearsed earlier. On the positive note, the rap part of the track is quite neat and refreshing to hear. Also, they presented energetic dancing scenes throughout the video. Nevertheless, this song contains an acceptable routine and is flair enough to keep an average K-Pop fan busy.


Debuting on the sixth spot is Taylor Swift's new single entitled Mean in her acclaimed hit album, Speak Now. This song talks about Swift addressing her critics who still don't believe her capabilities as a singer. In addition, Mean is a song that reflects the issue of bullying, which can be utilized as a part of anti-bullying campaigns for schools across the globe.


Sharing the sixth spot with Swift and another placer is Trinidadian recording artist and songwriter Nicki Minaj with her single Super Bass from her album Pink Friday. This song made Minaj as her catchiest song yet, making it very appealing to pop audiences. Listeners love to push the replay button for a few times to heat the ultra-catchy boom badoom boom chorus and Minaj's rapid-fire rapping. However, the song is quite light, breezy and inconsistent. Nevertheless, the song carries a breezy tune that creates it a perfect summer song.





Sitting at the third spot is the American rock band Maroon 5 with their song Never Gonna Leave This Bed taken from their third album entitled Hands All Over. This ballad song was written by Adam Levine. It was reported that Levine wrote the song after having a weekend bender. During that time, his energy was dragging low, went home, picked up his guitar and start composing the song. The lyrics of the song is very simple and pleasing to hear, complimenting its sweet sound. The video features Levine and his girlfriend in three different bedding scenes.


Sharing the third spot with Levine and his band is Taylor Swift's another hit track entitled Speak Now still coming from her recent album on the same name. This upbeat song was about interrupting a wedding ceremony, inspired from a conversation Swift had with her friend whose ex-boyfriend would tie a knot to someone else. This song was released as a promotional single and garnered critical acclaim in the United States and Canada.


Katy Perry is still dominating the chart. However, she is sharing her spot with another new song from a hit K-Pop girl group 2NE1. I Am The Best, just like the other lead singles they released, offers everything that the group sets out for their fans - their fashion sense, upbeat tempo, fierce verses, and high-energy tune that can be played all over again in different clubs and night outs.



On the chart this week, Miss A's Good Bye Baby enters the chart at the ninth spot sharing with Secret's Starlight Moonlight, which falls six spots from number three; Rihanna's California King Bed from number six; and Bad Meets Evil featuring Bruno Mars' Lighters, coming from the fifth spot. Rolling in the Deep seats with Taylor Swift's and Nicki Minaj's new songs at number six, while OneRepublic's Good Life dips a notch from the second spot, sitting beside another Swift song and Maroon 5. Katy Perry's Last Friday Night still reigns at number one for two weeks, sharing with 2NE1's I Am The Best.
