That NJ Ish: New Jersey Artists Currently Have The #1 and #2 Songs In The Entire Country

Fetty Wap x Charlie Puth

The last time two male hip-hop artists held down the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 was 2009 with Flo’Rida and T.I. The last time a New Jersey artist held down the top spot was Lauryn Hill with “Doo-Wop (That Thing)” in 1998. The last time two New Jersey artists held down the top two spots? Never! (Okay, I don’t actually have that stat but it just went really well with what I had going on here. I don’t know if maybe Springsteen and Bon Jovi did it before, maybe Whitney…I don’t know. But just roll with me here.)

This week, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth‘s Furious 7 track “See You Again” ranks #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth week in a row, while Fetty Wap‘s “Trap Queen” has climbed up from #3 to its highest spot yet at #2. (Obviously Wiz is not from Jersey, but Charlie Puth is. Rumson, what up!)

That’s not all that we have going on right now, either! East Brunswick teen Jax just scored a Top 3 spot on American Idol, the furthest any state resident has ever advanced. We find out Tuesday whether she makes it to the top 2, and Wednesday if she will be crowned Jersey‘s first-ever “American Idol!”

Rosenberg Radio Presents: Joe Budden x Marisa Mendez – I’ll Name This Podcast Later [Episode 11]

Screen Shot 2015-04-29 at 10.04.38 AM

Another week, another amazing episode of I’ll Name This Podcast Later. Per the description Rory writes up while sitting at his other job neglecting the work he actually gets paid for:

Joe, Marisa, Rory and our guest, super-engineer Parks, sit and discuss Mayweather/Pacquiao (with a special guest call in from rapper/boxing expert Royce Da 5’9,) Bomani Jones calling Life After Death the most overrated album of all time, and Joe challenges Rosenberg on his producer work for this podcast. Was Jay Z just tweeting through it? Is it too early to call TIDAL a failure? Who is it over for?

As for the artwork – Joey took a screenshot of the Ebro In The Morning interview with Ty Dolla $ign, and of course chose the moment where I look nuts. Thanks. Oh, and we’ve added a new email where you can write in for advice and/or ideas and suggestions – illnamethispodcastlater@gmail.com
