People who've heard more of her music than I: how well does the absolutely toxic "Hollaback Girl" represent Gwen's body of work?

I don't mind it actually, but it's not really representative of who she is as an artist. Check out "Cool", "Early Winter", "Wonderful Life", "The Real Thing", "The Sweet Escspe" and her new single "Used To Love You". That, to me at least, is more in line with who she is as an artist.

"The Sweet Escape" is easily one of the most annoying songs I have ever heard. Would not recommend it to anybody with ears.

Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams trade off on each other's songs, singing "Neon Light," "Don't Speak," "Sugar" and "Get Lucky."

I love it, but it's not a great representation of the overall sound of her music. Give "Rich Girl" a try if you don't know it... easily my favorite song by her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rlNpWYQunY

I love how Blake says "watch this" at the beginning of the song, like what are we supposed to be watching? You're on the radio lol
Only pointing it out because I never noticed he did it until today.

"Nothin' Like You" gained 75 spins and 500k in audience more than "Gonna" did today, so even though Dan + Shay are at #3, I'm confident that the top 3 songs on the MB rolling chart (Blake, Chris, Dan + Shay) are extremely close in total points right now and we'll see a split of the charts this week, with Blake taking Billboard and Dan + Shay taking MB.

This might be the most uneventful 2 week #1 country song ever. Congratulations Blake!

This is heading for 2 weeks at #1 on Billboard, and it's easily Blake's worst-selling single since probably "I'll Just Hold On" or maybe even "The More I Drink", and who knows, those songs might have actually wound up outselling this one if they'd received the same amount of airplay that "Gonna" has. This song is one of my least favorite songs of the year. It's so boring that it's annoying. I feel the same about Tim's "Top Of The World" and Jason's "Gonna Know We Were Here".

I think that the gameplay will be to get Blake the BB #1 because of the fact that he will rewrite history books if this hits #1. Then MB the following week.

Blake's just so far ahead of Dan + Shay on Billboard right now that it makes perfect sense to get Blake to Billboard this week and Dan + Shay on MB, with Blake taking both next week -- especially since "Nothin' Like You" is so old in its chart run. Labels of course count MB just as much, so this an easy call for Warner to make. Both Warner promoted songs are miles ahead of the #4 song in spins and audience, so Blake lucked out here. I personally don't think he should have hit #1 on either chart with this dull song.

Remember the good ole days when Blake's music was good, and even sometimes great? Elevator music is more exciting than most everything he's done since Honey Bee.
Zzzzzzz

Warner has to be going for the BB and MB #1 this week. This song is record books breaking, they can't afford to miss the top.

If Gonna and Nothin' Like You did not have similar audience totals, Blake Shelton would be tops for three weeks.

How many consecutive #1 tunes has Blake had at BB including this tune?
I know Ronnie Milsap had something like 16 straight number ones before the flawless 'Stranger In My House' inexplicably peaked at #5 in 1983, and I believe Blake is right behind him with this underwhelming snoozefest, easily among his weakest singled to date IMHO.

I know Ronnie Milsap had something like 16 straight number ones before the flawless 'Stranger In My House' inexplicably peaked at #5 in 1983, and I believe Blake is right behind him with this underwhelming snoozefest, easily among his weakest singled to date IMHO. Sixteen. That would tie Blake Shelton with Sonny James. Ronnie Milsap's longest streak was ten between 1980's Why Don't You Spend The Night to 1983's Inside. Covered Ronnie Milsap's Stranger In My House earlier this year: 6. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Two great chart topping streaks began in 1980. The first belongs to Ronnie Milsap when Why Don't You Spend The Night became the first of ten consecutive chart topping #1s in March. That ended in 1983 with the double-sided Inside/Carolina Dreams. Alabama began their chart topping spree in August with Tennessee River. Twenty more #1s followed until 1987's You've Got The Touch. Milsap's streak was snapped 32 years ago this week with the #5 peaking Stranger In My House. Milsap kicked off the 1980s with the Milsap Magic album. The first single, Why Don't You Spend The Night was released in January and became his lucky thirteenth chart topper in March. The second and final single, My Heart/Silent Night After The Fight became his biggest country hit, staying at #1 for three weeks in May and June. His contribution to the Bronco Billy soundtrack, Cowboys And Clowns/Misery Loves Company hit the top in August just five weeks after Merle Haggard and Clint Eastwood claimed a #1 off the soundtrack with Bar Room Buddies. After seven years at RCA, Milsap released his first greatest hits album. A new song, Smoky Mountain Rain became his FOURTH #1 of the year while claiming a #24 peak on the pop chart and even topping the adult contemporary chart. In December, Billboard gave Milsap the Top Country Singles Artist award and named My Heart the biggest hit of the year (so did the American Country Countdown). 1981 saw Milsap pay tribute to Jim Reeves with the Out Where The Bright Lights Are Glowing album. A lone single was released in Am I Losing You. It became his fifth consecutive #1 hit in May. That was originally a #3 hit for Reeves in 1957 and a new version surfaced in 1960, peaking at #8. Milsap did a complete 180 by releasing a very poppy album called There's No Gettin' Over Me. The title track peaked at #1 country for two weeks, #5 pop for five weeks, and #2 A.C. for four weeks becoming his biggest crossover hit. I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World started his 1982 on a #1 country note while reaching #20 pop and #3 A.C.. He released the Inside Ronnie Milsap album in 1982. Any Day Now was the lead single and it hit #1 country, #14 pop, and #1 A.C.. He Got You also hit #1 country while faltering at #59 pop and also peaking at #15 A.C.. Billboard named Any Day Now the biggest A.C. hit of the year. Third and final single, Inside/Carolina Dreams became his tenth consecutive #1 in February, 1983. It was his 22nd chart topping hit overall. It also peaked at #27 A.C.. The 1983 album, Keyed Up started with Stranger In My House. The song was written by Mike Reid who started supplying Milsap songs (like Inside). The single was released in April and got as high as #5 on the country chart. Some stations refused to play it because of the guitar solo (too rock for some). It also became a crossover hit, peaking at #23 pop and #8 A.C.. It broke Milsap's string of ten consecutive chart toppers (Alabama would claim their tenth consecutive #1 five weeks later with The Closer You Get). The album's other singles became chart toppers for Milsap. They are: Don't You Know How Much I Love You (1983-also #58 pop and his last pop chart appearance and #12 A.C.) and Show Her (1984-also #17 A.C.). Stranger In My House won Best Country Song at the Grammys. One More Try For Love filled out Milsap's 1984 with Still Losing You (#1 country and #29 A.C.) and Prisoner Of The Highway (#6 country). His second longest streak of chart topping hits was next and it was spread across three CDs: Greatest Hits, Volume 2 (the second album where you will find Stranger In My House), Lost In The Fifties Tonight, and Heart & Soul. Those were: 1. She Keeps The Home Fires Burning-1985 2. Lost In The Fifties Tonight In The Still Of The Night-1985-also #8 A.C. and the biggest hit of the year according to the American Country Countdown and Billboard 3. Happy, Happy Birthday Baby-1986 4. In Love-1986 5. How Do I Turn You On-1987 6. Snap Your Fingers-1987 7. Make No Mistake, She's Mine-with Kenny Rogers-1987-also #42 A.C. 8. Where Do The Nights Go-1988 That streak was broken by the #2 peaking duet with Reid called Old Folks (written by Reid and blocked from the top by Kathy Mattea's Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses-chart wise, her biggest hit). Milsap's last #1 was A Woman In Love in 1989 and his 35th overall. His last chart appearance was 2006's Local Girls (#54). 2014 was a very good year for Milsap. He was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame and RCA released a box set of all of his studio albums with them. This is what the chart looked like back then: BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 11, 1983: 1. Our Love Is On The Faultline-Crystal Gayle-Warner Bros. 2. You're Out Doing What I'm Here Doing Without-Gene Watson-MCA 3. You Can't Run From Love-Eddie Rabbitt-Warner Bros. 4. The Ride-David Allan Coe-Columbia 5. STRANGER IN MY HOUSE-RONNIE MILSAP-RCA 6. Fool For Your Love-Mickey Gilley-Epic 7. Love Is On A Roll-Don Williams-MCA 8. Oh Baby Mine I Get So Lonely-Statler Brothers-Mercury 9. Lucille You Won't Do Your Daddy's Will-Waylon Jennings-RCA 10. Highway 40 Blues-Ricky Skaggs-Epic

The 'record-setting' achievement you folks are referring to is the fact that 16 straight charttoppers is a record for a male vocalist, correct?
