Billboard Hot 100 １月７日付

2012年最初のHot100が発表になりました。

Rihannaが落ちて LMFAOのSexy And I Know Itが1週目のNo.1。

まさにYear End Chart効果で、年間2位のParty Rock Anthemも40週目でベスト10復帰です。また、年間1位のAdeleも7位、8位、35位に躍進です。

注目は30位初登場　Taylor Swift Featuring The Civil WarsのSafe & Soundです。この曲は、映画"The Hunger Games."のsoundtrackからのシングルカットで、男女デュオThe Civil Warsとの共演です。地味ですが、ハイトーン歌声が印象的な良い曲です。The Civil Warsは、アルバムBarton Hollowが今週144位に入っています。

年間１位KIM CARNESのBETTE DAVIS EYES、邦題は「ベティデイビスの瞳」とそのまんまの日本語訳ですが、女優ベティデイビスのことを歌った曲で、9週連続1位を記録して文句なしの年間No.1でした。

このKIM CARNESですが、ソロでは「BETTE DAVIS EYES」以外に大した曲はないのですが、デュエットでいくつもヒットを飛ばしています。初めてTop40に登場したのは1978年8月でGene Cottonとのデュエット「You're a Part of Me」でした。また、Kenny Rogersと共演の名曲「Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer」は1980年6月に4位を記録する大ヒットとなっています。

Adeleが1位と24位、Katy Perryが3位、4位、14位と、2人の女性ボーカルの活躍が目立った年でした。
また、個人的には、昨年のLady Antebellumに引き続き、Jason AldeanやBlake Sheltonなど、カントリー系が頑張ったのが嬉しいことです。

残念なのは、Country Rockを除き、Rock系が全く無い！（80年代から90年代にかけてのRock全盛期が懐かしい。。。）
来年は、Evanescence、Paramore、Seetherあたりに是非とも頑張って欲しいものです。
