That’s My Jam R&B Chart – January 2012 [R&B Chart]

The new mother is also the new queen of That’s My Jam’s R&B Chart. Her “Party”-starter jumps to the top spot, just as Mary J. Blige‘s “Mr. Wrong” becomes only the second song on a That’s My Jam Chart to rebound from a downward slide (the first being Usher‘s “DJ Got Us Falling in Love”). Further diversifying the roundup are new entries from EMiL, Emeli Sandé, Chris Brown, Olivia and Najee. Click here to learn more about how the charts work.

1. Beyoncé feat. J. Cole - “Party” (3)
2. Mary J. Blige feat. Drake – “Mr. Wrong” (6)
3. Robin Thicke – “Love After War” (4)
4. EMiL – “Deadwood” (-)
5. Cee-Lo feat. Melanie Fiona – “Fool For You” (2)
6. Emeli Sandé – “Next to Me” (-)
7. Chris Brown feat. Kevin McCall – “Strip” (-)
8. Olivia – “Walk Away” (-)
9. Tyrese – “Stay” (1)
10. Najee feat. Phil Perry – “Just to Fall in Love” (-)

The Blacklist [Worst of 2011]

As we say hello to 2012, That’s My Jam would like to reminisce about the songs that rocked our world (or didn’t) in 2011.

Call us mean, but we don’t get Chris Rene or the excitement that surrounds him on X Factor. Can he sing? Somewhat, but besides that, something about his personality and story doesn’t quite with us at That’s My Jam. Perhaps that’s why we’d like to retire “Young Homie” along with the year 2011.

Runners-Up:
Anything off Watch the Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West
“Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People
“Firework” by Katy Perry
“Wet the Bed” by Chris Brown and Ludacris

The M.I.A. [Missing in 2011]

As we say hello to 2012, to recognize the artist we missed in 2011.

Though she’s hard at work on her next record, we could have used some Jody Watley in 2011. Please don’t keep us waiting too long, Jody.

The Surprise [Best of 2011]

As we say hello to 2012, That’s My Jam would like to reminisce about the songs that rocked our world in 2011.

Teeny boppers were all the rage in 2011. Maybe that’s how we got sucked into liking Joe Jonas‘ “Just in Love.”

Runners-Up:
“Friday” by Rebecca Black
“Mistletoe” by Justin Bieber
“Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato

The Ones to Watch [Best of 2012?]

As we say hello to the new year, That’s My Jam predicts the artists who will impact 2012.

Call this a cop-out, but we at That’s My Jam don’t predict any one artist to rule 2012. We actually have a few predictions about what will happen within the music landscape.

First, we think Madonna will score her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single since “Music” when she releases what we think is called “Give Me All Your Lovin’,” which will be accompanied by a new album, a Super Bowl halftime performance and a potential Golden Globe win (for now a nomination) of a different cut. If she succeeds, she will join an exclusively small club of artists who have had No. 1s in four different decades.

Second, while we do love the urbantronica and electropop that’s been the soundtrack of the last few years, we predict the sound to continue filling the airwaves. But with the recent stripped-down successes of artists such as Adele (forthcoming Grammys and all), Beyoncé and Amy Winehouse; OneRepublic making it a goal for real instruments to return to radio; and American Idol, The Voice and other reality competitions emphasizing acoustics over electronics, expect a few fringe hits with band sounds and raspy vocals to chip away at the slick production of dance-pop-R&B hybrids.

Third, which relates to the second point, with all music coming together and starting to sound the same, look for genres to start making returns to their roots. It will get easier to differentiate hip-hop and dance music, and so on. We also think the marketplace is going to open up and that pop and hit radio stations will feature more oddly juxtaposed songs. We also predict at least one ballad will top the Hot 100 by year’s end.

Fourth, we expect R&B to start breaking away from hip-hop and will demand to be recognized as a separate genre. This will be lead by efforts from artists who have been gone for a minute but have new efforts, such as Johnny Gill, SWV and Karyn White — who arguably reached their peak during the new jack swing and flava eras, which first blended hip-hop and R&B — as listeners will be on the lookout for true ballads about romance and love rather than romps in the sheets.
