    Wumbo Ranks Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Charts! (Ahhh, the deed is done.)

    in K-BLUB

    Posted

    Well girl, this is my sorry for being so late with these lists.

     

    I realize they've been coming out less and less frequently. I still like doing them, but I'd be lying if I said a bit of burnout wasn't involved here. When it's not convenient for me to take on these lists, it can admittedly feel like a pain in the butt. But I do it for you, and for me, because we're almost done. So let's have some fun with 2004.

    2004 was an interesting year for me, in that it's probably the first year I really started paying attention to music charts and pop music, at the tender age of nine. Before then I would be sure to hear songs on the radio and form my baby-brained opinions on them, but this is when I really started to take a look at what was popular. So I think I remember this year a little more fondly than I actually should.

     

    What exactly *was* crunk, really? No matter all the astonishing variety on the charts in 2004, crunk seemed to be that presence that lingered throughout the year. And while a good chunk of it I actually liked, the bad stuff was real bad and just sounds embarrassing today. Not that there wasn't enough bad to go around all the genres, however! Yes, I'd count this as one of my more varied lists of bad songs, because 2004 seemed to attack you on all fronts with its badness. We'll get to the good stuff, and it is there, but for now, sit back and "enjoy"...

    Wumbo's Bottom 10 Hits of 2004

    Spoiler

     

    "Heaven" - Los Lonely Boys

     

    I'm counting this as an honourable mention simply because they named themselves "Los Lonely Boys". Even without hearing the song, they make me want to puke. And it's not like the song is stellar, either. But anyways, onto the list proper.

     

    Spoiler

     

     

    Sometimes it's hard to believe that 2004 was 15 years ago already, but it becomes easier to believe when you see the sheer number of artists that just did not last through the years. Take this guy, for example. Ryan Cabrera. Who is he? What is his personality? Did he even exist, or was he just a phase Alex Band went through in 2004? There were a lot of inexplicably big but retroactively anonymous artists this year. But this had to be the most anonymous of all.

    10. "Turn Me On" - Kevin Lyttle

     

    Kevin Lyttle is... well, he's... I... I have no idea. He's completely nondescript, is what he is. He has a little bit of a high, reedy voice that I guess must have appealed to somebody in 2004. But to whom, I can't imagine. We already had Sean Paul making this kind of dancehall music, and at least he had some bass to his voice. I truly do not understand how this got big. And... listening to these lyrics... well, they're not very good either.

    But if you think you're gonna get away from me
    You better change your mind
    You're going home
    You're going home with me tonight

    I mean, come on, I don't expect Shakespeare from these songs, but at least try not to sound so immediately predatory? This is some proto-"Tonight I'm Fuckin' You" shit, and it really puts a sour mood on an otherwise underwhelming song. Can't imagine anyone actually being turned on by this, except maybe Kevin Lyttle himself. A one-hit wonder without the wonder. Goodbye.

    9. "Slow Motion" - Juvenile ft. Soulja Slim

     

    What can you say about a rap song that doesn't even bother to stay on beat? In terms of slow jams, this is easily one of the worst that got popular in the 2000s. What is there even to say about Juvenile's performance? It sounds like he just woke up and they stuck a microphone in his face.

    Thankfully Soulja Slim at least seems to know how to rap, though his lyrics aren't much better. It's a shame he died so soon, and that his only big song is this. He probably deserved better. Maybe. But I got no positive things to say about this song. It's so dreary. I can't imagine anyone using this as a sex jam. Isn't a sex jam supposed to be... sexy? I guess in 2004 people were grinding to this, and it makes me wonder how any babies were made that year at all.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Nickelback deserve all the hate they get.

    8. "Someday" - Nickelback

     

    Seriously, what kind of world do we live in where a song like this gets big? With Chad Kroeger Kroegering all over the track like he usually does, the sludgy, boring instrumentation, the vapid lyrics... I could go on, baby. Yeah, this one's really bad. It's that awful middle ground between their sludgier early sound and their more "radio-friendly" later stuff. And it just sounds like aaaasssss. At least the earlier stuff had grit, and at least the later stuff didn't sound as drearily dogshit as this. Who would even listen to this song? What's the point? The important thing is, no one really listens to Nickelback anymore. And to that I say, good riddance. A stain on Canada's musical reputation.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Then again, as awful as Nickelback is, I don't think there's any song on this list I more immediately had an allergic reaction to than this one.

    7. "When the Sun Goes Down" - Kenny Chesney ft. Uncle Kracker

     

    Kenny Chesney has been referred to as a Jimmy Buffet ripoff without all the smarts, and nowhere is it more evident than this song, where he basically draws a middle ground between "Margaritaville" and Sugar Ray's "Fly", the latter of which I find an absolutely rancid song, for the record. So it's no surprise that this song makes me break out in hives. It's obviously okay to have fun in your music. But to bring on Uncle Kracker? Well, that alone should make you eligible for trial by war crimes. No, I'm sorry, Uncle Kracker is straight up one of the worst artists of this decade. He has a voice like every college frat bro douche with a head cold, and his smarmy tones here certainly don't help this song's case. It's just so... meatheaded. This feels like a party where only Uncle Kracker and Kenny Chesney are having fun, and all the girls want to leave as soon as possible. Is that a party anyone wants to go to? I don't think so. I want to be at a party where Uncle Kracker is having as little fun as possible. Speaking of, here's the line that convinced me fully to put it on this list:

    She thinks Kracker's sexy when the sun goes down

    It's apt that this song makes me think of "Margaritaville", because it also makes me want to vomit like after a night of bad drinking. Let's move on, please.

     

     

    Spoiler

     

    6. "One Call Away" - Chingy ft. J-Weav

     

    I have a question: Why was Chingy ever a thing? Did anyone actually like him? This preening, annoying rapper that has a flow like an asthmatic fourth-grader? And we expect him to carry a love song? Good god. Okay, that was four questions. But they all pertain to the inexplicable success of this song.

    That's "J-Weav" on the hook, by the way, who actually provided the singing voice for Simba in The Lion King. The original, not the crappy remake. Listening to this performance, it appears his voice hasn't aged a day since then. Any less bass in his voice and he'd be indistinguishable from Lloyd. So he does nothing to save the song. And Chingy certainly does nothing to save it, being his usual annoying self with nothing interesting to add. So it's a useless song overall. Just when you think it can't get worse, Chingy sets out to prove you wrong.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Oh God, another one?!

    5. "Sunshine" - Lil' Flip ft. Lea

     

    The mid-2000s was when Houston rap started to come out in full prominence. One of the big names was Lil' Flip, who honestly wasn't that bad. But seriously, were songs like these just a contract requirement for these rappers? This is just flat terrible. The beat sounds half-finished, Lea sounds like Mariah Carey with laryngitis, and Lil' Flip could not sound less interested in this topic. It feels like this track got one run-through and nothing more. Thankfully, this wasn't one of the songs I remembered. And I doubt anyone else remembers it either.  Case in point? Lea's Wikipedia article is on the verge of being deleted. Man, that's harsher than any criticism I can give. The notability of this song has reached an all-time low.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Now this song I wish I could forget.

    4. "Lean Back" - Terror Squad

     

    Ah, Fat Joe. Another rapper whom I'm not clear on if anyone actually liked. Granted, he has more of a case than Chingy, as he has huge associations with Big Pun, who died way too young at the turn of the millennium. Unfortunately, he has none of Big Pun's talent and one of the most irritating voices in hip hop. This was the era of crunk, with acts like Lil Jon actively looking to assault your eardrums. Yet I'd listen to a dozen Lil Jon songs before one Fat Joe. He barely sounds like he's rapping. He just sounds like he's yelling. Remy Ma is on this song too as part of Terror Squad, but... did anyone really care about her either? She doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd, besides a couple clever lines. But the whole song is so slathered in Fat Joe's ugly voice and Scott Storch's ugly, sterile beat that it's pretty much dead on arrival before she even gets a chance to save it.

    This is a worthless song. It's literally a dance song without the dance. It's a lazy song for lazy people. and every time I lean back into the music of 2004, I avoid this one like the plague. Next!

     

    Spoiler

     

    As I said before, crunk ruled the airwaves this year. You've already seen some crunk or crunk-adjacent songs on this list, and while I said that this list was varied in its song choices, you'll forgive me if I give you another crunk song. Because... oh god, that beat.

    3. "Goodies" - Ciara ft. Petey Pablo

     

    I have never been able to stand a single Ciara song. There, I said it. And more than a few times, the problem is the beat. I mean, listen to this thing. It sounds like an air raid. Of course, not helping matters is Ciara referring to sexual advances as "goodies", which may be the most fucking disgusting thing on this entire chart. "Goodies"? You couldn't have put this song through a second draft and come up with... I don't know, anything other than fucking "goodies"!  You may as well have went with "yum-yums" or "tummy-ticklers", as long as we're being juvenile and nauseating with our word choice.

    https://genius.com/Ciara-goodies-lyrics?referent_id=17488665#note-17488665

    Wait, that... was the second draft? So you looked for a word that wouldn't disgust you, and you came up with... goodies? I... I have no words.

    Petey Pablo is also on this song. Makes absolutely no sense for him to be on here, as he actively goes against the message of the song and just comes off like a predator given the song's subject matter. But I can't say that's all his fault. Why make a song about sexual abstinence this overtly sexual? And then why bring Petey Pablo on in the first place? I suppose you need something to break up Ciara's twee, wilting flower of a voice. It's just a complete mess, from beginning to end. "Goodies". Right from the title you can tell that this one will hurt. Ugh.

     

     

    Spoiler

     

    2. "The Reason" - Hoobastank

     

    Over 600 million views. 600 million. For this pile of shit.

    I... I need a moment.

    ...

    Okay, now that I'm back from walling my bang against the head, let's song about this talk. I always say that no matter what your taste in music is, it's your taste, and you shouldn't have to justify it to anyone. But... I am simply making a humble request to the people who like this song to throw me a bone here. Why? If you like rock, it's barely rock. If you like sappy breakup songs, there are ones that go way harder and have more descriptive lyrics than this shit. This is like Baby's First Songwriting Class. It's like someone told Doug Robb to write what he felt, and gave him no instructions past that, so he decided to write the most artless, basic thing possible. I'm surprised this song hasn't caused a second wave of Manson murders. There is simply nothing to like about it. It's formless, artless, basic trash. But there was still one song I found worse...

     

    Spoiler

     

    One. Here comes the two to the three to the four...

    1. "Tipsy" - J-Kwon

     

    Yeah.

    Yeah.

    Yeah.

    You'd best believe I was here for this shit. And I hated it just as much then as I do now. Thankfully it seems like this song has lost popularity over the years, not exactly sticking around like Lil Jon has. And thank God for that, because this song is just... bottom of the barrel. I get that this guy was only 17 when he recorded this, but it really stands as an indictment on the pop charts of 2004 that this got big at all. There's no real melody outside of that farting synth, the lyrics are beyond basic, and even the video to this song basically rips off every other house party video that came before it. There's nothing to this song. It sucked then and it sucks now. And now I have to get tipsy just to forget about it.

    "Surfin' Safari": I've never been the hugest Beach Boys fan, but this song is fine enough.

    "Hey Baby": Blame the Dominican Republic for my love of this song, as they played remixes of it endlessly. What can I say? It's a catchy tune.

    "Twistin' the Night Away": Sam Cooke was a real underrated talent who was gone far too soon.

    "Twist and Shout": Is it heresy to say I prefer The Beatles' version? This is still great, though.

    "Can't Help Falling in Love with You": One of Elvis' best-remembered ballads, and for good reason. A true classic.

    All right, five to go! And we'll start by finishing off the 2000s, starting with...

    2004

    Yes, finally. The year of Hoobastank. Who's excited?

    The early 60s are an era of pop music which I've tried to give my due diligence. It's tough because to be so far removed from the trends really means you have no idea what's going on half the time. Sure, there were some songs that lived on to stand the test of time, but a lot of it was singing about cartoon cavemen or yellow polka-dot bikinis and I just can't get into that kind of novelty. Now, maybe this stuff was popular at the time for a reason. But if we're talking about an era that predates not only myself, but my parents as well, you can't be surprised when I come up a little short in the explanation department. Regardless, with this list, I close out this era of pop music for this series. 1962 really did have a good crop of songs to put on this list, and I'm happy now to present it to you. Partly because I really like these songs, and partly because I'm happy to finally get this era of music over with. So let's go!

    Wumbo's Top 10 Hits of 1962

    Spoiler

     

    Like I said, the pop charts of 1962, and the early 60s in general, are mostly silly and insubstantial, at least in my view. Again, I say this as a 24-year-old born in the mid-90s, so how much can I really know? What I do know is that the songs that stand the test of time the best are the ones that have substance, and yet manage to be fun and upbeat as well. Here's a fine example.

    10. "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" - Neil Sedaka

     

    This is what I've come to expect from the good pop songs of this era. A fun, catchy beat, with some sort of either forlorn or happy message. In this case, it's the former. Neil Sedaka really does a good job of selling this song through his voice, which I've always found to be more refined than his counterparts. He seems to have more control over it and know what he's doing. Then again, maybe listening to Frankie Valli will put you in the mood for just about anyone else to sing.

    I dunno, it does its job. It's a fun, upbeat pop song with some substance behind it. In 1962, that's good enough to make the list.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Then again, sometimes all you need is that catchy beat. And that's exactly what we get here. Plus a little dance to go along with it! And lord knows, in 1962 we didn't have enough dancing.

    9. "The Loco-Motion" - Little Eva

     

    I've said this in the past, but with my little diatribe against silly music in the opening of this list, I feel like I should say it again: I have nothing against silly music on principle. I like plenty of silly songs; there's a lot of artists I wouldn't be able to stand if that weren't the case. They just have to actually be fun, and not grate on my ears or nerves. Take this song, for example. I have no idea how anyone could dislike it. It's so forcefully charming, and manages to stand out in its own right even with the avalanche of dance songs in 1962. Little Eva has just the right presence for this style of song, which is a classic R&B tune with just a little bit of rock edge. Kind of modeled after Chubby Checker himself. The Twistin' Dude has truly been a bigger influence than I could have ever imagined.

    Of course, the song got covered and made it big twice more to diminishing quality, so I think it's important to remember where it all started from. This is a great little pop tune and it's certainly earned its place in people's memories.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Sharp writing can really help a song along, especially in 1962. Here's a song that really succeeds at what it's trying to do with its writing.

    8. "The Wanderer" - Dion

     

    Dion has that kind of voice that doesn't really pop up as often as others in the early 60s. It's more gravelly. And it really works for this song. He really does sound like a guy who's had these experiences, and is so world-weary of it all. And that shows up in the writing, too. Dion masks the sadness of this lifestyle in bravado, but even he lets the mask slip as he admits he's "going nowhere". That's pretty sharp, subversive writing for the pop landscape of the early 60s. I have to give props for that. Overall, "The Wanderer" is a song that aims to do more than most pop songs of this era. And it succeeds.

     

    Spoiler

     

    It's Ray Charles.

    7. "I Can't Stop Loving You" - Ray Charles

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YqaTDDCDM

    Ray Charles is the King Midas of the early 60s. Everything he touches turns to gold. He's a master of melodies and he has a captivating voice. I've said enough about him in the past, but rest assured he did not stop being good in 1962. Just in case you were worried. God, what a talent.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Well, it had to happen again.

    6. "The Twist" - Chubby Checker

     

    It's kinda nuts just how popular this song was, so much so that it transcended years to hit #1 twice. That's impressive. We'll see if "Old Town Road" has the kind of legs to beat it on the all-time list. But somehow, I doubt it. This song must have been absolutely everywhere at the time, and it's not hard to see why. It's absolutely a classic, and easily one of the most fun songs of the entire era. The fast pace really helps this song along. It's a powerful fireball of a dance track, and it's no surprise that people wanted to keep on twisting after this song, and that artist after artist tried to cash in on the trend. Chubby Checker, I salute you. Keep on twistin'.

     

    Spoiler

     

    I've had my fair share of instrumentals covered on this series. Some good, some bad. But only the most iconic stand a shot at making this list. And when it comes to iconography, this one is pretty hard to beat.

    5. "The Stripper" - David Rose

     

    If you've ever seen a movie with a cheesy strip scene, chances are you've heard this song. It is just so inescapable in pop culture. And rightly so! It may have become a soundtrack staple to the point of cliché, but it's hard to cry foul when the song is called, y'know, "The Stripper". One of the most perfect evocations of big brass music of the early 60s I've ever heard. Say what you will about the classics, and how they may not measure up to songs today, but they will always be timeless. There's no way for this song to get old. It's right up there with the classical songs of 100+ years ago. It's that powerful.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Ray Charles.

    4. "You Don't Know Me" - Ray Charles

     

    I am constantly floored by this man's presence as a performer. He truly was in a league all his own. you know, I've gushed about this man enough. Much as I love him, I can imagine it gets tiresome for y'all. so let's just skip to the next one. But yes, do listen to this song. Like the majority of his discography, it's gold.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Of course, when you think of soulful 60s music, there's only one other place to go: The Everly Brothers!

    Wait, wh-

    3. "Crying in the Rain" - Everly Brothers

     

    Okay, I can dig it.

    Now, nothing against The Everly Brothers, obviously. They've certainly earned their spot in musical stardom. But I would never really call any of their songs tear-jerkers. Until this one, which is certainly the closest they've come. I don't know if there were any other songs before this one about crying in the rain, but it's such an evocative, sad image that you'd have to be a right fool to screw it up.

    And screw it up they don't! I'm a big fan of the harmonies here, kind of like a proto-Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe The Everly Brothers will never make a best artists list of mine or anything. But they do have a fair number of great songs under their belt. And this may be their best of all.

     

    Spoiler

     

    And then, sometimes... you just get something inspired.

    2. "You'll Lose a Good Thing" - Barbara Lynn

     

    It is often hard for me to write about these songs because, despite my thinking that they're really good, they still feel way too distant from me to really connect with them. We're coming up on the early 60s being 60 years ago. It's not uncommon to think this way. But this song oozes such passion and soul that it's impossible not to connect with it. Barbara Lynn is one of those talents that fell by the wayside when talking about early 60s talent. She doesn't really have the notoriety that Chubby Checker or Ray Charles do. But she truly is something special. She has this attitude and swagger to her voice that you didn't really get with female artist in this era. But it totally works for her. She stands right up there with the greats, and this truly is one of the best songs of the era. But not the best of 1962.

     

    Spoiler

     

    It's rare that an instrumental makes it on this list. It's even rarer for an instrumental to top it. Hell, even the two-time winner "Wipe Out" had someone saying "wipe out!" But this one? Nada. Not a thing. The music speaks for itself, and folks, this may be the best instrumental that I'll ever cover in this series. Enjoy.

    1. "Green Onions" - Booker T. & the M.G.'s

     

    This song absolutely transcends its era, or any era of music, really, to simply become one of the best-written pieces of music of the modern era. You're looking for proto-funk, you need to go back before James Brown and check out this. This is where things really started to come together in the 60s, and it's possibly the first really excellent Hot 100 hit that wasn't by Ray Charles. It's so smooth and carefree. It's a joy to listen to every time. And while artists may have done better later on, no one did better in 1962 than Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Did I mention Booker T. is only 17 here. Nuts. The kids are alright. And honestly, when it comes down to it, so is 1962.
