DJ Special Blend’s Top 40 week ending September 5, 2009
September 1, 2009 No Comments
This is DJ Special Blend from Chicago. What’s up America and the World! We have lost yet another soldier this past week. Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein tragically and suddenly passed away. He had just finished shooting an anti-drug program for MTV, and drug use may have possibly played role in his death. It was known that DJ Am was a recovering addict that was straight for eleven years. We all know that addicts can fall off from time to time. Other upcoming work from DJ AM released after his death will include his contributions to the Activision video game DJ Hero. He will indeed be missed. Meanwhile, Jay Z has held down the number one spot for three weeks. Let’s see if he can hang on for a fourth in a row, as we start it off a little something like this…
Number 10
Mariah Carey sneaks in at number ten this week. First week in the top ten for her latest jam, “Obsessed.” Me and Mariah, go back like babies and pacifiers. I just stole ODB’s line there like I wrote it myself, but it’s all good.
Number 9
First week in the top ten as well this time around for Mary J. Blige and her latest jam, “The One.” I think I saw this cut on a commercial or something the other day. I gotta pay a little more attention the next time it rolls around. Drake is featured on this one.
Number 8
“Jerk” by the New Boyz is up one space to number nine this week. The kids always request this jam, and I’ve played it a lot over the last few weeks, seeing that this is the season for family reunions and trunk parties. Three weeks in the top ten so far.
Number 7
Jamie Foxx’s lates song features The Dream, Kanye West, and Drake. Second week in the top ten and it is up three spots to number seven. They brought Drake in for the remix, and they obviously wanted a piece of him just like everyone else does nowadays. Just imagine that he hasn’t even had an album out yet, but here he is on a remix with Jamie Foxx, Kanye and Dream. Technology is grand.
Number 6
R. Kelly featuring Keri Hilson is at number six this week, even though the name of the cut is, “Number One.” This was a good calaboration for the both of them. The hot new R&B singer teamed up with the veteran R&B producer. A no brainer. Four weeks in the top ten.

Number 5
“Always Strapped” by Birdman featuring Lil’ Wayne is down one spot this week to number five. Lil’ Wayne has been everyplace over the last few yeas, so why not flow on a track with the producer who got it all started for him. Five weeks in the top ten so far for this one.
Number 4
It’s Drake’s ass again. He is only on three top ten songs this week. No big deal. “Successful” is up two spots to number four in it’s fourth week in the top ten. I want the money, cars, clothes, and the hoes I suppose… Trey Songs sings the hook on this one.
Number 3
Maxwell holds steady at number three this rip with his lates effort. I’m still personally getting used to this dude without long hair, and I know I’m gonna go through a thang when the day comes for me to let go of my hair. But, I know once I cut it this time, then thats the end for me and long hair forever. Seven weeks in the top ten for Maxwell.
Number 2
Last week’s number one song has fallen to number two. Jay Z held down the top spot for three weeks, but there will be another jam holding it down this time. “Death of Autotune (D.O.A.)” is again what I call grown up Hip-Hop. No disrespect to the newbies out there, but lyrics mattered heavily when I was coming up. This cut has been in the top ten for nine weeks… longer than any other song this week.
Songs that bounced outta there this week:
- “Break Up” by Mario featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett fall from number seven to numebr thirteen after a seven week run in the top ten. This song peaked at number two.
- “You’re The Best” by Drake fell from number five to number eleven this week after a nine week run in the top ten. This song was at number one for two weeks,
remembering dj am. rest in peace
And now…
Number 1
Kid Cudi get’s his first number one jam on this hart with his latest release, “Make Her Say (formerly Poke Her Face)”. No doubt this song made it this far because of help from Kanye West and Common. Couldn’t hate on this track if I tried. Six weeks in the top ten. All congrats due…
Add to favorites and listen in!
Giving respect to DJ AM again. Rest in Peace. Gotta phat U-Hype show comin’ up in the next couple days, as well as a new Mixshow 72 episode that should be out tomorrow. Attaching a mixshow podcast to this post that includes the number one song, so enjoy. I have automobile maintenance to pay for right now. Not a fun thing at all, but I’ll be back next time to count them down with ya. Same time, same place. ’til then, don’t bump into the turntables!
5000!
