You can thank I-tunes for that top 10 hit! lol! Her airplay would definitely not qualify for a position that high.

I absolutely LOVE this cover. Totally classic, kinda reminds me of Gwen's cover for "Cool" but far more Glamorous. GO XTINA!

This song is blowing up!!! If u have small stations playing it like ever 1 1/2 hr... (we're not allowed to play a song more than one in every 1 1/2 hr it's all automatic...) then... it's safe 2 say that it's a smash and u're doing something right Man... we're playing the crap out of this song.... I'm already getting sick of it hearing it as I work Great song though and us suburbians/rural ppl luv it

That cover fits the theme of an album. Its a 30-40's themed record. Of course she's gonna go and do a cover that would look like something her idol Etta James would do.
Go on Xtina. That cover is nice.

Playful Christina Channels Marilyn Monroe For Back To Basics Cover Shoot
06.29.2006 4:32 PM EDT
When Christina Aguilera started working on her bluesy, soulful follow-up to Stripped in February 2005, the singer was inspired not only by the sounds of the 1920s, '30s and '40s, but the look of those eras as well.
So when it came time to shoot the artwork for Back to Basics a year later, Aguilera knew exactly what she wanted.
"The glamour from those eras was so amazing as well [as the music], so I'm referencing Marlene Dietrich ... Marilyn [Monroe] ... Carole Lombard ... Greta Garbo, Veronica Lake, there's so many," Aguilera said during a break from shooting, citing the most popular actresses of the era. "Whenever you collect all your tear sheets and your references and all that, to see everything come to life it's just really, really amazing and fun."
For the pictures, Aguilera handpicked German photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who has captured Janet Jackson and Penelope Cruz, among others, with her erotic feminist style. Aguilera also chose the album's producers, including Linda Perry and DJ Premier (see "Christina Makes Her Comeback Twice As Nice By Expanding Basics Into Double LP").
"Ellen's my favorite photographer, 'cause she's just so playful and so fun and she can really go there visually," Aguilera said. "And she's such an artist in her own right. She just doesn't take a picture. She really gets into the whole mood and vibe and the playfulness of the whole spirit of the whole thing. So I knew she would be perfect."
Aguilera and von Unwerth spent three days taking potential pictures for Back to Basics, beginning at a historic hotel called the Hollywood Dell.
"With the first setup, we just wanted to [give the photographs] warm lighting, very inviting, just kind of relaxed, an old-Hollywood feel where you're kind of in the bed but also being really inviting, [because] I'm kind of smiling," Aguilera explained. "For the Stripped record it was a very real and honest place for me, but it was also a darker place. So I feel really lifted, things are lighter for me. I'm happier now than I've ever really been."
Aguilera spent most of the first day in a bed, peering through the iron bars of a headboard, a shot inspired by a famous Marilyn Monroe picture. The Back to Basics cover shot, a sensual image that features her dressed in white and lounging on a bed, was taken during the same session.
After all that lying around, by the second day, the singer was ready to get up.
"We got to play a little bit more of dress-up," Aguilera said. "A huge element also of this record is it's really fun and playful, with a 1920s circus theme."
For the third day, Aguilera and von Unwerth moved to Forty Deuce, a Hollywood hotspot that puts a modern twist on a 1920s burlesque club.
"We set up the vibe to create that old jazzy blues club," Aguilera said, noting that's where she also shot a series of pictures with four Navy sailors. "The whole vibe of that time period, it's just so special to me."
Back to Basics is due August 15.

Damn the 4th of July weekend is taking its toll on radio. Radio is playing all these weird songs. All mainstream radio songs are slowing down.
The bullet will pick up by Wednesday or Thursday. And tomorrow the buillet is likely to drop because of what happened last week on the panel. So don't panic LOL

I'm afraid that she will be stuck at #11 for this week; however, next week she will get up to at least #9 on the pop chart. I'm hoping she can manage to pass All American Rejects before the final update, but there's still a little bit of ground to cover.

She took a pretty steep drop from +619 to +350, and it looks very unlikely that she will got top 10 this week. Oh well, maybe next week.

The spins went down today but it's perfectly normal due to the 4th of july weekend. She'll be #10 tomorrow no matter what and during the week she'll jump to #9.
Anyhow, her AI went up and she's about to hit 47million. It's pretty safe to say she'll jump to #7 (or +-1) in next week's HOT100!!!.
