Ke$ha's "Take It Off," one of my fave jams off her trashy fun Animal, climbs to #10 of Billboard's Hot 100 this week, becoming her fourth straight Top 10 hit off the album. And it's clear now that the New Queen Of Soul truly has become the voice of this generation, her angelic pipes being undeniable to a nation that craves raw talent. Sorry Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey—Ke$ha is The Ultimate True Voice.
This marks five singles now in the Top 10 that either have a Dr. Luke or Max Martin credit (and in the case of "Teenage Dream," "Dynamite" and "California Gurls" it's both). Speaking of which, Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" holds steady at #32 for a second week.
But the ultimate triumph this week is the "Bed Intruder Song" by the Gregory Brothers, Antoine and Kelly Dodson. After initially debuting two weeks ago at #89, the viral Auto-Tuned masterpiece dropped off the chart last week. This week it re-enters at #92.
You know, come to think of it, maybe Antoine Dodson is actually the New Queen Of Soul?
