iTunes Top 25 - July 20, 2008

Since the last one of these I did was such a success, and since I continue to build my music database on a regular basis, I figured I'd make it a monthly feature. Plus, since I've already written up most of the songs on here, I only have to tackle the new ones, which are highlighted, and the biggest slides, which are in red.

25. "Tears Don't Fall" - Bullet for My Valentine (19)
One of the two biggest sliders since last month, its mainly fallen victim to the fact that it hasn't really come up on any shuffles or playlists in that time. Plus, its more than five minutes long, so its rare that I actually want to spend that much time listening to one song by choice.

24. "The Take Over, The Break's Over" - Fall Out Boy (20)
23. "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year" - Fall Out Boy (20)

22. "Devotion and Desire" - Bayside (20)
The first of the newcomers to the list, this is just an all around great song. It touches on the familiar themes of love and not knowing what you want out of a relationship, all over a fast paced, heavy rock background.

21. "Within Destruction" - As I Lay Dying (20)
20. "Never Take Friendship Personal" - Anberlin (20)

19. "Inevitable" - Anberlin (20)
Another one of the biggest dropoffs from last month, you'll notice the number of plays is exactly the same, meaning I haven't listened to it at all since then. Again, this is a really romantic song that makes you think about the person you love, and seeing as I'm currently single, there's no real reason I would be listening to it.

18. "Pretty Handsome Awkward" - The Used (21)
Another newcomer, based mainly on the "stuck in your head" factor. The guitars in this song are awesome, and even tho I'm not a big fan of Bert McCracken as a human being, his screaming vocals definitely add to the song. Supposedly the song is a thinly veiled shot at Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance. Now there's a feud where no matter who comes out on top, no one is really a winner in the end. Except music fans, if it leads to more songs like this.

17. "Best of Me" - The Starting Line (21)
"TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE GONE AND SO ALONE, THE WORST IS OVER, YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST OF ME!" Now try getting that out of your head without playing this song over and over again. Insanely catchy chorus that you wanna sing/scream along to.

16. "Every Man Has A Molly" - Say Anything (21)
This is a great song about that one girl that completely fucks up your whole life and how you don't know what the hell you're going to do once she's gone. Its also set over a unique rock beat that kind of jumps all over the place, but comes together in the end.

15. "Metalingus (Edge's Entrance Music)" - Alter Bridge (21)
14. "Say This Sooner" - The Almost (21)
13. "Your Love" - The Outfield (22)
12. "Thriller" - Fall Out Boy (22)
11. "Of All the Gin Joints In All the World" - Fall Out Boy (22)
10. "Hey You" - The Exies (22)
9. "Crash Here Tonight" - Toby Keith (23)
8. "The Feel Good Drag" - Anberlin (25)
7. "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" - Relient K (26)
6. "BubbleToes" - Jack Johnson (27)
5. "Grand Theft Autumn" - Fall Out Boy (30)
4. "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me'" - Fall Out Boy (30)
3. "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)" - Fall Out Boy (31)
2. "Save Me From Me" - Amber Pacific (31)
1. "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" - Fall Out Boy (33)

So, as you can see, not much movement in the top 10 this month. But you never know when something's gonna come out of nowhere and take iTunes by storm.
