Idolator Charts The Artists Of Today That You'll Be Sick Of Hearing About By Tomorrow

(Ed. note: Once again, we present "Indecent Exposure," a ranking of the artists who are receiving the most dangerously high levels of popular-culture exposure. It's an anecdotal chart that takes into account such factors as media appearances, blog hype, playing-in-the-background bar music, and overheard subway conversations, and it is 100 percent statistically sound.)















INDECENT EXPOSURE CHART: 6/1/07
ARTIST WEEKS ON CHART LAST WEEK DAYS UNTIL BACKLASH
1. AMY WINEHOUSE 1 19 1 -27
2. THE WHITE STRIPES 478 8 YESTERDAY
3. NANCY REAGAN 31 2 -2,318
4. LAVENDER DIAMOND 2 N/A N/A 15
5. R. KELLY 95 11 NOW
6. FEIST 14 5 4
7. KANYE WEST 12 2
8. BETH DITTO 20 14 ??
9. 50 CENT 426 19 NOT UNTIL YAYO HAS BEEN FREED!
10. BT 3 RE-ENTRY N/A MID-1999

1 = Can't stop, won't stop.
2 = Least compelling blog headline of all time.
3 = We heard something about some guy flying with him when he wasn't supposed to? Did we get that right?

It's a 'Housequake! Thanks to dueling Spin and Rolling Stone—not to mention that cred-boosting implied drug use—AMY WINEHOUSE remains at the top spot; at this point, she's so played-out now that her own overexposure is overexposed. A leak from TEGAN AND SARA and a fake leak from THE WHITE STRIPES move both artists up a bit, though when it comes to power couples, you can't beat NANCY REAGAN and her late husband, RAPPIN' RONNIE, who made the talk-show rounds this week. As for the rest of the list: BETH DITTO got nude, 50 CENT got moved and LAVENDER DIAMOND got mewed over by dozens of wistful indie-rock boys, all of whom are looking for the next Jenny Lewis. As for R. KELLY, not all the public-image problems in the world can stop him; after all, they tried to make him to go pee-hab, and he said "No, no, no"! And then he recorded a song about having sex with a pterodactyl.
