I'll admit part of the reason why it took me so long to post this set was because I had a hard time coming up with clever insults for a lot of these faceless songs. But then again nobody knows my chart's current #1 so who am I to judge? Screw it, I'll judge. Anyway... a good chunk of these songs are built around ideas that seem good on paper but aren't executed well (see the sampling of that one song that goes Ma Ai Hee on "Live Your Life", Deep Purple's homage to Vincent Price, and the concept of Olly Murs and Demi Lovato doing a song together). Some of the songs here were recycled, and something must have gone terribly wrong during the recycling process because nobody turned on oldies stations to hear "Listen To The Music" with a bunch of country singers helping out, or "Time After Time" with a side of the feels for abused animals (for clarification, that was a dig at Sarah McLachlan). And whoever decided reappropriating the hook from Biggie's "Party and Bullshit" on a mediocre pop song by a mediocre pop singer really should think twice before even considering ruining Biggie's legacy (although the honor of most cringeworthy homage to Biggie goes not to Rita Ora, but to Iggy Azalea on "Beg For It"). The recycling is so strong in this set, #1584 and #1583 used the same beat in the same year! (And both flopped.) And when songs in this set aren't being recycled, people listening to 104.9 The Wolf in Saskatchewan seem to prefer #1506 to Def Leppard.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Crunkie lives on, more country-related recycling, songs tied to the music-themed dramas "Glee" and "Empire", a band fronted by a convicted pedophile, and not one, but two songs by "Same Smith". Oh, and more Maroon 5!

Yes, you may notice a lot of songs that I claimed to have liked a lot 10 years ago are coming up short...to be honest, a lot of them didn't stand the test of time very well. Let's be real here, when was the last time anyone was excited for anything Dem Franchize Boyz is up to?
I went off a lot about recycling in the last set, but in this set, we have a British soul singer who recently achieved superstardom on the basis of recycling, to the degree that Cody nicknamed him "Same Smith". Proving how samey his first two hits on his own name were, they place #1435 and #1426 ("I'm Not The Only One" got the edge because it's the lesser of two evils). When you're so bland you fare worse than a band whose lead singer was convicted of pedophilia (see #1425), you've got problems.
Many of the songs in this set are incredibly dull and boring entries from artists who typically are in a consistent strong suit (the less said about "She's So Mean", the better). In other cases, I question why the songs exist anyway, from "Better In Time", which seemingly was created for the sole purpose of being blared out in supermarkets, to "Lemonade", a Danity Kane reunion that was just as much of a non-event as much of their career.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Reminders why last year's pop music was mediocre, a 35-year-old teenager, a song featured in the season 2 premiere of "Parks and Recreation", a song referencing Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky, and a group who became famous through an iPhone app Jess once described on her show as creating celebrities who are "more faceless than normal faceless celebrities." Oh, and even more Maroon 5!

12 songs in this set charted just a year ago. (It's amazing that "Sugar" is the highest of them, given I can't stand Maroon 5, but "Want To Want Me" can jump off a cliff and die, and Becky G is just no.) As much as I like Kendrick Lamar, even he couldn't save Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", which was a hot mess to begin with. I think the title was a giveaway, given Jess's dislike of the off-key anthem of the same title by Neil Sedaka.
A lot is represented in this set: songs that failed to keep artists relevant (Ryan Cabrera, State of Shock, Olly Murs, and post-"Blurred Lines" Robin Thicke), cultists (TobyMac), iPod commercial famous flashes in the pan (Ting Tings), Vine famous nobodies (Jack and Jack ... of course, Jess's "more faceless than regular faceless celebrities" was directed at Shawn Mendes, who so far has charted a whopping zero times), cock rock as sung by women (Halestorm) and even M4BCC classics ("Pop!ular" by Darren Hayes). What they all have in common is I cared very little for the songs in this set.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Complayn Malik's breakthrough, a song that inspires cravings for Lay's potato chips, not one but two songs that recall Big Pun's "Still Not A Player", not one but two Ryan Tedder-produced hits from 2009 that sound like identical twins, it's all your fault, the followup to a song Jess nicknamed "Fix This Song", and a song that parodied a song in the past set. Oh, and what do you know - more Maroon 5!

I'm seeing double in this set... for a number of reasons. We have a double shot of Kelly Clarkson songs from her greatest hits album at #1227 and #1226. In other Jekky news, "Already Gone" is #1253, followed by Beyonce's "Halo"... perhaps fitting, since both Ryan Tedder-produced songs from 2009 were accused of sounding too similar to each other. There's also a double shot of songs based upon Big Pun's "Still Not A Player" (which itself samples "A Little Bit Of Love" by Brenda Russell), as Thalia's "I Want You" and Ariana Grande's "The Way" (#1280 and #1281, respectively) have me talking about how I don't want to be a player no more. Seeing double could also refer to the number of covers here - we have Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick doing "Jet" by Paul McCartney, Gretchen Wilson and Alice In Chains doing "Barracuda" by Heart, even the Scorpions doing "Tainted Love", which is one of those covers that had me thinking "did this really happen?" Not in the best way, though.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: The first JT40 #1, I CANNOT FATHOM THIS SHIT!, a song from an album that iTunes told us to like, Hot Topic meets Gossip Girl, songs from the 2007 M4BCC Song Contest, and mainstream pop hits from early in the decade that gave Clarence Clemons and Etta James career resurgences shortly before they died.

LOL that Halo and Already Gone were back to back! Tagging Courage for Plumb because it's all his fault.

We can confirm in this set there are at least 1185 songs I prefer more than the first official JT40 #1, "Hollywood" by Madonna. At least for me it was the least of many evils from her "American Life" album.
Sorry to John, but Celine Dion crashes out of the ranking, with "Taking Chances" her highest placement at #1125.
Not sorry to current pop radio listeners, but Meghan Trainor crashes out in this set too. Which is fitting since "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is her only JT40 entry.
What amazed me about this set was the number of bands I counted up that sounded like they were way past their prime - the Smashing Pumpkins, Offspring, U2 and Eve 6 songs, and Garbage's Record Store Day collab with Brody Dalle and Metallica's well meaning tribute to Ronnie James Dio, to me didn't fit in with how I remembered them. I also don't remember U2 forcing their album on to me like they did with their most recent effort, which randomly showed up in people's iTunes libraries whether they wanted it or not. And whoever thought Chester Bennington from Linkin Park would make a good Stone Temple Pilots singer clearly is not good at steering clear of mediocrity. STP and Linkin Park are better as separate entities.
Notably, there's two mainstream pop hits from mid-2011 through early 2012 that brought about brief career resurgences to dying musicians. Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" (#1123), which prominently sampled Etta James' "Something's Got A Hold On Me" (itself sampled in Avicii's "Levels") peaked at #11 on JT40 on February 12, 2012, three weeks after Etta James died on January 20 of that year. Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory", three spots lower at #1120, featured the E Street Band's saxophonist Clarence Clemons performing a solo; it peaked at #13 on JT40 on August 14, 2011, two months after Clemons died on June 18 that year.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: A cover of the "request gone wrong", Ke$hit's highest appearance, three of Jennifer Lopez's remaining four entries, one of the most enduring and the most repetitive pop hits of the early 2010s, and a song with a title that references a legendary musician who unfortunately passed away last week.

You are witnessing the comeback of early 2016. Just as everyone wondered if this thread would die out, in a single weekend we went from OMG IS HE EVER GOING TO FINISH THIS? to the triple digits! The next set will take us out of the thousands and into the 900s. Here's the songs that missed out:

Yes, John, Ke$hit is higher than Celine. Sorry.
It's hard to believe some of these artists existed at one point (Carbon Leaf and Everything After are incredibly random), and that some of them came back from beyond their peak randomly (Kate Bush, New Order and Soul Asylum charted within a six-month span in 2005-06, and who would have guessed?) It's also hard to believe that around that same time, someone requested John Waite's "Missing You" (at #1014, as covered by Tyler Hilton) to a dying child when the lyrics go "I ain't missing you".
In this set, Jennifer Lopez almost crashes out, with "I'm Into You" at #1084, "On The Floor" at #1049 and "First Love" at #1010; "Get Right" is still to come. We also have one of the most enduring, and most repetitive pop songs of the last five years at #1078, "We Found Love" by Rihanna. Because everyone loves to hear "we found love in a hopeless place" times infinity 50 million times.
David Bowie posthumously marked his JT40 debut this week with "Lazarus", but 10 years ago he made a significant chart appearance...well, on the title of a song anyway. Tori Amos took the song "Not David Bowie" to #1006, and the song gives exactly what the title promises... it's not David Bowie.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: I lied, more Ke$hit (though uncredited), a song partly in French, a song entirely in German, a song containing a line that Jess made her own to describe Neil Sedaka, and a shitload of Delta Goodrem. Oh, and more Maroon 5!

As we enter the upper half of the list, we start going into some more tolerable songs for me. Still some misfires to speak of...10 years later I still don't get Danity Kane. And the collaboration of British rocker Ginger Wildheart with Hole's Courtney Love was a strange match, while Jewel and Kelly Clarkson didn't complement each other on their duet version of "Foolish Games", largely because Kelly upstaged Jewel on her own song.
Sebastian Prospero is here with his first single, and his favorite Australian boy band is here too. We also have Cinderelly and a song referencing "off key anthems" before Jess took it and made it her own with her critiques of Neil Sedaka. Here also are some country crossover attempts from Bon Jovi and Christina Aguilera that actually seemed to work well, and the set wraps with one of Daughtry's best songs (though the fact it's #901 doesn't say much about it).
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Movie night - songs named after Steven Spielberg's blockbuster about an alien who wants to phone home, a pre-Titanic/Avatar James Cameron film about underwater aliens (or at least that's what I think it's about), an early Madonna movie, and a modern day adaptation of Hitchcock's Rear Window starring Shia LaBeouf. Actual songs from movies are here too, including songs from Transformers and Charlie's Angels sequels. And shock horror, no Maroon 5! And they haven't crashed out yet! How is this humanly possible?

After lots of prodding from Jess, here's the next set...
900 Tinashe 2 On 13 2014 899 Katy Perry Dark Horse 1 2014 898 Backstreet Boys Incomplete 1 2005 897 Destiny’s Child Lose My Breath 3 2004 896 Carrie Underwood Two Black Cadillacs 8 2013 895 Rihanna Disturbia 1 2008 894 Cee-Lo Green Bright Lights Bigger City 21 2011 893 Doro Celebrate 3 2008 892 Rita Ora R.I.P. 3 2012 891 All Saints Rock Steady 2 2006 890 Jewel Again & Again 2 2006 889 Hinder How Long 6 2006 888 Britney Spears Break The Ice 5 2008 887 Paramore Monster 13 2011 886 Sugababes Follow Me Home 9 2006 885 Girlschool/Doro Hit & Run 10 2011 884 Dolores O'Riordan The Journey 5 2009 883 Alanis Morissette Receive 1 2013 882 Jennifer Lopez Get Right 10 2005 881 Mr. Probz Waves 25 2015 880 Katy Perry E.T. 1 2011 879 Jamelia Something About You 5 2006 878 Under The Influence Of Giants Mama's Room 28 2006 877 Beyonce End Of Time 13 2012 876 Yusuf The Long And Winding Road 23 2015 875 Armin Van Buuren/Trevor Guthrie This Is What It Feels Like 13 2013 874 Amber Just Like That (Romeo & Juliet) 4 2005 873 Britney Spears Circus 1 2009 872 Kylie Minogue In My Arms 4 2008 871 Blind Guardian A Voice In The Dark 6 2010 870 AC/DC Rock Or Bust 30 2015 869 The Donnas Don’t Wait Up For Me 10 2007 868 Lita Ford Crave 1 2009 867 Aerosmith/Carrie Underwood Can't Stop Lovin' You 6 2013 866 Amber Voodoo 1 2005 865 Carrie Underwood Little Toy Guns 33 2015 864 Robyn Who's That Girl 12 2008 863 Accept The Abyss 4 2010 862 Low Millions Eleanor 3 2005 861 Foxboro Hot Tubs Mother Mary 6 2008 860 Mariah Carey Don't Forget About Us 3 2005 859 The Exies Ugly 25 2005 858 Pink feat.

Some decent songs here, but mostly unmemorable. It's worth mentioning that some of the chart's biggest hits crash out in this set, from Katy Perry's "E.T." and "Dark Horse" (she has one more song, "Hot N Cold", to come), to the Backstreet Boys' infamous 2005 year end runner-up to Tori Amos "Incomplete", to Girls Aloud's chart peak with "The Loving Kind" (believe it or not, they have a few more songs to come). And the less said about Lita Ford's "Crave", the better (believe it or not, Lita has several more songs to come as well.)
Also in this set, one of Jess's favorite songs to chart, "Mama's Room" by Under the Influence of Giants!
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: One of M4BCC Radio's favorite non-Janet Jackson songs, an 80's pop star trashing Paris Hilton, an 80's-influenced band trashing...everybody, a Canadian band named after the deepest part of the world's oceans, a legendary rock singer who brought Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, Sheryl Crow and Katy Perry together on the same song, and a song whose title calls to mind a word frequently used by one of Josh Bussiere's friends. Oh... and Maroon 5!

COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Mr. "You're Boring" himself, a big hit from the last decade that brought renewed attention to bananas, Meat Loaf's daughter, a former teen pop singer covering John Hiatt, a 90s post-grunge band covering Randy Marsh Lorde, and a major international comeback for Madonna. Oh, and Maroon 5! And actual commentary!

A pretty diverse set pretty representative of both me and Jess's tastes - there's a little bit of everything here. Many of the songs, though, are far from the best in these artists' catalogs. Compare Pantera's "Piss" with the likes of "This Love" and "Walk" and you can hear why it was left off Vulgar Display Of Power. Justin Timberlake's comeback in 2013 was very impressive, but "Tunnel Vision" was a weak single choice. Tom Petty's most recent album Hypnotic Eye, at least to me, doesn't stand on par with his classics. And anything Tom DeLonge touches outside of Blink 182... well, the less said the better. On the contrary, the Maroon 5 songs in this set are among their most tolerable, and "Sirens" is the only thing Cher Lloyd has done that doesn't make me throw up in my mouth (although what she did after that, disappearing off the face of the earth, is even better).
COMING UP IN THE NEXT SET: Everyone's favorite song (at least according to 2006-era Jessica's Top 40 Countdown shows), a song that was infamously "stuck behind (a) Canadian bitch for a freakin' eternity", user-created singles, and what is probably Bryan's favorite song on the ranking.
