I am sorry everyone, but I made a mistake. # 16 was Imma Be by the Black Eyes Peas. Everything else moves down one so Deuces was actually # 10. I updated my previous post to reflect the correct positions. You can go back and refresh. Now, instead of 10-1, today I will post 9-1, because once again, Deuces was # 10.

Just Music: Ciara- Overdose
Ciara's Vevo posted this I while back, but I guess I have been falling behind on updates. Anyway, this song has a nice beat.
Vocal Wednesday (11/20/13)
Cory's Song is introducing a new segment! I am naming it Vocal Wednesday. I decided to start this segment because during the course of writing this blog about music (as you can imagine), I have been reading plenty of articles and looking at tons of interviews, performances, and other videos. One of my favorite new things that I have discovered in my research are these vocal range videos all over the place, showcasing the various singers of popular music's singing abilities. I now realize that I have grown into a vocals nerd. Now, I will share it with you here.
Vocal Wednesday will be once a month. I still have to decide which Wednesday during the month it will be. I was leaning towards the middle of the month, but now I am thinking about the last Wednesday of the month.
I will start things off with a video from one of my favorite Youtube channels, Angelfully. In my opinion, she is the queen of vocal range videos. I also enjoy her vocal battles, where she showcases 2 or more vocalists note for note. Here's one of them now. Its Musiq Soulchild vs. Maxwell...
Visit Angelfully on Youtube for more if you don't want to wait until next month: http://www.youtube.com/user/Angelfully/videos

My Top 40- Best of 2009, 2010, 2011
I have been promising to post my archive Top 40 songs lists for over a year now and decided to finally get around to it. I have been putting it off because I want to add some commentary to each song, but that would take forever, and another year is about to end, and this is turning into a vicious cylcle. It looks like I want have enough time to do that, so I will just have to post all of my older ones until the present, (well, last year now) which is 2012. I will add commentary to 2012. In addition, 2013 will be coming at the end of December. 2009 is this week, 2010 will be next week, and 2011 will be the week after that. Check them out on Mondays.
