Oh man, first "Sneaker Night" turns out to be a commercial, and now this? If you read this Wall Street Journal article which b-boy helpfully gave the link to in his post above, you'll see the song was flat out intended for a commercial campaign for Doublemint Gum which starts next month. I like the song alot, and I don't mind at all cleverly working in lines from old ad campaigns like "double your pleasure/double your fun" just to be witty. But this trend of songs being commercials before they're actually revealed as commercials sucks: I feel sorry for kids -- they're being duped.

With the industry the way it is today, artists have to find new ways to hustle. I do feel that this particular instance is pretty cheap, but I don't hate Chris for chasing those stacks. But, yeah, it's kinda lame that my most played song of the year is a Double Mint gum jingle. I'll just have to be extra hard on Breezy when we finally meet.

^^ Still going to get to #1 no problem, assuming Jesse finally starts dropping. "Leavin'" should have started losing a little steam by now, but it's shown more staying power than I thought it would have.

My best friend looks just like Chris Brown and he hates it when people make the comparison. He likes to say he's the original since he's like 5 years older.

LOL he totally wrote thing song knowing he'd get ad money for a doublemint commercial. I mean I knew the lyrics "double your pleasure, double your fun" seemed misplaced...

Genius strategy. Wrigley is about to have both the #1 song in the country and the #1 song on Pop radio.

"Forever" was used one more time on the Season 4 Finale: So You Think You Can Dance a few days ago...That performance was awesome! Hope it will help "Forever" digital sales... Performance: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ToDCs2lWBTM (just skip until 1:49 to see the performance) btw, does anyone know when is the Doublemint Commercial gonna be on TV?
