A day late, but still not a dollar short.
2. KiD CuDi – Indicud – 136,000 - I’m still trying to decide how I feel about this album. Nevertheless, pushing this in the first week with no real radio/TV push is quite impressive. Or good. Pun sorta-kinda intended.
7. Tyga – Hotel California – 54,000 - I guess he can’t be too mad at these numbers given the fact there’s no real big single blowing up radio.
1. Justin Timberlake – The 20/20 Experience – 968,000 - The most obvious #1 ranking since probably Adele’s 21. And you know what the scary thing is? This album hasn’t even begun truly releasing singles yet. I expect this album to be in the top 50 until fall. If not longer. Just wait until “Tunnel Vision” inevitably becomes a hit.
We all are guilty that we have most likely seen a new artist emerge, and think “hey that kid is good, he might be around for a long time”. Most of the time our unofficial “A&R” expertise skills fail us and the artist disappears faster than they came. However, that does not take away from the 1 or 2 “possible” hot tracks that they blessed us with, and even possibly album. An artist career may have been prominent at the time, but looking back it now, the records they blessed it with, seem to have came and gone. Maybe they got tired, maybe they decided to take a break, but either way..most of these “One Hit Wonder Style” (maybe 2) have left us with some of the hottest club bangers and KarenCivil.com has highlighted 10 of the hottest songs that have come from funny southern artist who had a mass of potential. Check out our list after the jump and rock with us!
5. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – The Heist – 29,000 - I’m not a huge fan of the song, but it’s a hit without a doubt. With warmer weather on the horizon, have Mack & Ryan thought about a remix for the record? No? Ok, moving along.
20. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city – 17,000 - It’s pretty safe to label Kendrick as a star now. He’s even performing on ESPN!
4. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – The Heist – 42,000 - You know, these guys are probably going to eat of that “Thirft Shop” song for a very, very, very, very long time.
