America Loves Ke$ha

[Catman]

In what is traditionally a high-volume download week thanks to shiny new MP3 players under the tree and download cards stuffed in stockings, a digital sales mark has fallen by the wayside.

Rookie pop singer Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" shifted 610,000 digital tracks for the week ending December 27, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the highest weekly sum by a female artist since tracking began in 2003, and the second-best overall after Flo Rida's "Right Round" sold 636,000 this past February. Coincidentally, Ke$ha was an uncredited singer on the track.

"TiK ToK" eclipsed the female mark set by Lady Gaga with "Just Dance" exactly a year ago.

Ke$ha's hefty download sum will ensure "TiK ToK's" place atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for a second week when that chart is released Thursday. The song previews her debut album "Animal," which is set to hit stores on January 5.

Not *another* one.

Tik Tok represents everything that I hate most about pop music...

Possibly more than any other song (not pumped out by Britney Spears) in recent years.

 

[Crook]

Tik Tok is the song that plays when my alarm goes off in the morning. Great way to start a day:

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back

F**k the haters, pop music is all about having fun and this ish gets me ready for the day.

She looks like a drunk version of Taylor Swift mixed with a little Ashley Tisdale.

 

[Catman]

She looks like your average drunk redneck.

 

[SapphirePrima]

OMFG I always wondered who sung the chorus on the Florida song.

It's catchy mindless pop music.

What a poet. Everytime I hear that song I facepalm.

 

[Catman]

What a poet.

Or comedy writer.

She sounds like she likes the cars
The cars that go boom

haha i used to love that song

 

[Manic]

I'd just heard it today. The local hip-hop radio station has a "12 o'clock Throwback" everyday from noon to 1pm where they play as many songs as they can find that are 10+ years old. Ke$ha totally sounds like Tigra & Bunny.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I'm debating whether or not I'm gonna buy her album tomorrow. I do love pop/catchy music...

i'll wait for a second single. i rarely buy a cd based on one song

Gaga ironically was the last exception

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I'm afraid she's just a dumbed-down Gaga.

 

[ComicChick]

I'm afraid she's just a dumbed-down Gaga.

that's why i'm hesitant to buy the album. i'll wait til i hear more

 

[Catman]

I was at Target the other day and saw her album. Weird.

 

[ComicChick]

wow

 

[Catman]

wow

her debut album "Animal," which is set to hit stores on January 5.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Count me as one of those who don't. Beats the **** out of me why this is the top song out there nowaday.

 

[Catman]

It's catchy and plays well at the clubs.

 

[Go Web Go!]

I guess that's all that matters nowaday. Ah well.
