This week Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown top the Billboard Pop 100 Airplay chart. However, this is not the only song that Chris Brown had topped this chart with. Last week, Brown was in the number 1 slot with his hit single, "With You". When I first listened to this song a few weeks I didn't really like it at first because I thought it was another song about a couple proclaiming that they can not live without the other. But after listening to it a few more times I caught on to what has made this track so popular. I don't know whether it is the beat, the vocals, or the factor that it is neither a ballad nor a dance song, but the track just seems to work. The collaboration between Sparks and Brown is a great marketing strategy and has made the song a smash hit. This types of collaborations are seen quite frequently nowadays with many recording companies trying to cash in on the success that comes when combining two hit artists together. This tactic is not always successful, however in 'No Air' it just seems to work.
