I don't normally tick re-entries, but since I didn't tick Ms. Machine last time we did this track and she's hauled herself up to my borderline, I'll give her one.
Usher ft. will.i.am "OMG": The electronic sprinkle at the start makes this too lightweight by 10; fortunately the "uh-oh-oh-oh" is pushy, and the fake crowd noise keeps this from falling into torpor. BORDERLINE TICK.
Timbaland ft. Justin Timberlake "Carry Out": Timbaland and Justin sound just as disengaged by this fast-food sex as I am, but Timbo gets beauty from timbres and beats, and there is a tune. BORDERLINE TICK.
Florence + The Machine "The Dog Days Are Over": She stumbles over herself terribly, yet forcefully, and with enough melody to give this the benefit of a BORDERLINE TICK.
David Guetta ft. Kid Cudi "Memories": Piano throb and bass throb, all fine; then the Kid comes in and instead of his dreaminess we get dreariness. BORDERLINE NONTICK.
