BILLBOARD TOP 50 (WEEK OF 1/7/06)

(I'm posting this under protest because I absolutely detest the talentless, braindead, moronic song that is at number 1. Whoever wrote it and/or recorded it should be beaten soundly. Plus, Ashlee Simpson, defying all laws of known science, has TWO songs on the chart. There's of course the obligatory Mariah and Ludacris. Also there is an alleged song, if you can imagine, named "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off." Not a great week for music --J.D.)
