    The Beat: RR&R Top R&B Songs 2007
    Aaron tells it like it is about some new and interesting entertainment news.

    Billboard has released its comprehensive list of the best in several different music categories. A particularly surprising finding I made on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for 2007 are the top 10 songs:

    1. Robin Thicke: Lost Without u
    2. Fantasia: When I see you
    3. Tank: Please don't go
    4. T-Pain: Buy u a drank
    5. Musiq Soulchild: Teach me
    6. Lloyd: You
    7. Beyonce: Irreplaceable
    8. Ciara: Promise
    9. Musiq Soulchild: BUDDY
    10.  Chris Brown: Poppin


    Are you kidding me? I read somewhere that "Buy you a drank" was the most played song in 2007, how is it that Robin Thicke is at the top of the list? I love my girl Fantasia but "When I see you" should be nowhere near where it is when considering other big hits of the year like "You", "Irreplaceable" and "Promise". How did Musiq end up on the chart twice? Don't get me wrong, "Teach me" is still one of my favorite songs but I didn't see it do nearly half as well as BUDDY did and yet to me neither one of those songs should have been in the top 10. Where is Fergie at? Again I say, I don't know who or how they put this list together but I definitely do not agree with this. Am I the only person that feels this way?

    "I'm just sayin"
