GRADING THE CHARTS

Grading the Top 10 in ... COUNTRY!

By Molly Lambert at

1. Tim McGraw, "One of Those Nights"

From the intro I thought this was going to be a Lynyrd Skynyrd–type Southern-rock barn burner. Instead it settles down into a slow-paced last dance at last call underneath a star cluster of disco balls.

Angelina Jolie's Terrible in Bed?!?! ... and Other Absurdities From This Week's Tabloids

Star

THE BEST AND WORST LOVERS IN HOLLYWOOD:

  • Angelina Jolie is "Surprise! Boring in bed." Whaaaaaa? This alleged information comes from shade thrown by her ex, Billy Bob Thornton, who has said, "sometimes, with the model, the actress, the 'sexiest person in the world,' it may be literally like fucking the couch." FUCK YO COUCH, BILLY BOB!

GRADING THE CHARTS

Grading the Good Old American Country Music Charts

By Molly Lambert at

1. Luke Bryan, "Drunk on You"

This is the second part of a narrative that began in Luke Bryan's "I Don't Want This Night to End." After the titular night ended, Bryan went back on tour buzzed on longing and left tickets in every town for the mysterious sexy drifter girl, who has so far never shown up to claim them (UNTIL NOW). This is brilliant because it includes flashbacks to the last video, thereby making us nostalgic for that time we listened to that other Luke Bryan song. Plus the phrase "pour a little Crown in a Dixie cup" is perfect and fun to say. The romance of that one ideal night they spent tailgating under a full moon together is amplified into some mythical feeling that any real girl would find hard to live up to. Even the girl that makes your speakers go boom boom and gets you high on summertime.

Grade: B
