It’s time for the best of the year…2011.
Instead of the seven shows, we actually look at eight this week and the format changes as we look all songs played this week not just the Top 50.
First, the songs on the weekly chart of Weekend Countdown Sirius Hits 1 with Spyder Harrison (12-31-11) that didn’t make the list of the best of 2011 because they are still active maybe we will see them in next year’s countdown. These are listed with their chart position on the left for the week.

Interviews:
LADY GAGA (says she combines pop & art and doesn’t like people always talking about what she wears “I find what I do to be quite different than everyone now.”)
FOSTER THE PEOPLE (backstage interview with show’s producer…they had no idea that “Pumped Up Kicks” would be played on the radio. Like to create sounds that no one heard before. Mark Foster tells about the commercial jingle company that he used worked for now gets calls requesting jingles that sound like “Pumped Up Kicks”. Sometimes they do a club show after a radio show in the same day – two shows in a day. They really like the Gigamesh & Skeet Skeet remixes of “Pumped Up Kicks”. Skeet Skeet is from LA. MARK FOSTER & MARK PONTIUS delivered pizzas before becoming famous while Cubbie Fink remodeled garages in LA before becoming famous. “Obviously, I would have not stayed in LA that long working at crap jobs if I didn’t believe in myself. Everyone kinda paid their dues. I think we would have not stayed there if we didn’t think it would turn into something. I definitely wouldn’t have. Those are the best memories…my car breaking down in the Hollywood Hills because I ran out of gas delivering pizzas…my Armenian boss screaming at me in this really high pitch voice mixing English and Armenian. I’ll never forgive those days. You can’t take no from anybody. Nobody gonna do it for you. You have to do it for yourself.”)
JENNIFER LOPEZ (working with PITBULL “he’s very much about a vision: he doesn’t like to do one track for someone; he likes to create a movement…within a week we did five or six tracks and it just flowed.”)
HOT CHELLE RAE (talked about touring on a bus and upgrading from a tour van)
SABI (how to pronounce her name/shooting the video for “You Make Me Feel” – the drinks were real “it truly was like a freakin’ party dude, Gabe & COBRA STARSHIP, they party. It was fun.”)
will.I.am of BLACK EYED PEAS (talked about his club DJ work in 2011 “I’m excited, I’m excited, It’s like, I feel like I’m 17 again. Music is exciting.”)
RIHANNA (working with BRITNEY SPEARS on the remix of “S&M” “I reached out to her. She also was into it. Britney is a huge Pop star. This is the first record she’s been featured on, so it’s a big deal for me and my fans and her fans as well.”)
LMFAO (difference between their latest album and the prior one is that you need to learn how to dance “you gotta take shots, flash your woo-woo; but now, we’re taking it to the next step. You gotta learn how to dance. The first album we taught you how to get the hoes and now whatcha gonna do to keep them. (You need to) know how shuffle your hoes. You gotta work on your (bleeped out). You got to syndicate these hoes.” )
BRUNO MARS (being a part of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn film “I kinda lucked out. I think it was a lucky catch for me. I never been a part of a soundtrack before…it’s a great first one to be a part of. As soon as you say the word twilight, people light up. (I’m) die hard Twilight fan.”)
PITBULL (doesn’t take his kids on tour with him “I try to keep them away from all of this. I don’t want them to live in my shadow. I want them to be who they are and if they want to be involved in the entertainment business more power to them. It’s something I don’t want to raise them around or push them towards.”
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS (current music is changing towards dance “it’s always been big; but now obviously in the U.S. it’s become huge. It’s going to so many different formats. The hip hop world is embracing dance. There’s so many different ways you can do dance nowadays. I’m happy for it because I remember three years ago when I told the record company. Oh yeah, I think dance at some point is going to be big. No man, radio doesn’t need dance. They play one song out of the blue.”)
James Valentine of MAROON 5 (“Moves Like Jagger” ADAM LEVINE wrote and it’s not about one girl “we were all (saying) woe this is pretty crazy, this is different. (ADAM LEVINE) draws a lot of inspiration from sex. It’s probably from past lovers or past desires.“)
TRAVIE McCOY (his height “six –five”)

Interviews:
JESSIE J. (the concept of “Price Tag”/”I just think it’s a funny song and it’s also quite serious. In the sense, life doesn’t always have to be about the expensive clothes on your back or how big a car is. Sometimes, it’s about morals and the more important things in life. I think that’s what I wanted to write a song about that’s it’s not about the money.”)
JASON DERULO (“Don’t Wanna Go Home”/he wanted to make the ultimate feel good record “there’s a lot of turmoil going on in the world, a lot of pain and I wanted to create something that would allow people to escape if only for just a second.”)
BRUNO MARS (how “It Will Rain” came about…”I started working on this song and I didn’t finish it until I seen a couple of scenes from the movie (Twilight: Breaking Dawn Dawn Part 1) and thought it would be a perfect fit.”)
LUPE FIASCO (“The Show Goes On” was bought by the record company in the middle of the recording process. “My whole thing is about pushing positivity and inspiration. I like to make inspiration by using positive music. When people hear (the) record, their first reaction to it is I feel good…like a shower. I just woke up and ahh…feel happy to be alive, situation.”
LADY GAGA (her fan support “it’s just an absolute dream come true. To touch someone is very different then being successful. I’m not interested in being successful, I just want to touch people.”)
DIDDY (he’s happy to back in music “so many great reviews on the album and great sales and everyone loving the album, can’t beat that. I’m not one big on reviews and critics at the same time when they are so positive, you got to embrace them.”)
BRUNO MARS (how do people from other countries respond to music? “The coolest thing is singing the songs like “Just The Way You Are” and having the audience sing it and they are singing it back to me in the accent.”)
PITBULL (Planet Pit app available on Ipad not Iphone)
LADY GAGA (“The Edge Of Glory”/”I’m really proud of that song. I’m just really happy and everything is going great. The album is selling so well. Some many people are buying the physical copies, which makes me so happy. The fans are having a good time and that’s what I want.”)
LMFAO (“Sexy And I Know It”/”There’s nothing in the marketplace like it. It got’s (sic) that funky groove. It’s an attitude of mind that everybody can possess. We feel that the world needs to be sexier. This song, the sexiers (sic) will come out all walks of life even you in a speedo at the beach. The ladies may want you – it gives you an opportunity.”)
KE$HA (what she wants her music to be & “Blow”/”I want my music to be like crack music, like crack to your ear, Sonic crack. I wrote that song as my first song for my repackage “Cannibal”. Over the (past) year and a half, I’ve seen my fans and how they have grown. We have become like a cult of rabid misfits.”)
TINIE TIMPAH (performing for Prince William)
JENNIFER LOPEZ (working with producer RedOne & PITBULL for “On The Floor”)
Will.I.Am (making of the THE E.N.D. ALBUM)
CHRIS BROWN (how “Yeah 3X” was created/inspired by watching soccer fans)
MAROON 5 (talking about “Moves Like Jagger”)
LADY GAGA (talked about ROCK & ROLL hall of frame exhibit “The Meat Dress”)
LMFAO (the success of “The Party Rock Anthem”)
