the only interesting thing about flo rida is the long 'i' in the second word of his name.

@Ngawri: I've been trying to remain sort of passively neutral on the Flo Rida song, but yeah, I gotta agree with you. You're exactly right, actually -- it's so generic, I haven't had the strength to give it a serious dis in the column all these weeks.

It's so generic you did mistake it for another T-Pain song. The whole song & music video are horrible.

I still haven't heard that Flo Rida song yet, is it still riding on the coattails of digital and store sales? Or is it so generic that I mistook it for some other T Pain song?

Sir dennisobell, excellent as usual.

Up 20 spots and just outside the Top 40, Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" topped Billboard's dance chart (Club Play) months ago but is finally crossing over to radio...

This is my favorite non-"Umbrella" track from Good Girl Gone Bad. I think it's essentially the perfect Pop/R&B/Dance-able track that requires no remix to be club-awesome. Like Madonna's "Ray Of Light". Or j.lo's "Waiting For Tonight". Also, love the Michael-Jackson-biting B-hook.

[I say "non-'Umbrella' track" because, well, ya know, "Umbrella" is "Umbrella"...]
