I fell in
love with the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams when I first heard it on WXPN a
week or two ago. Its recent Oscar nomination for Best Song (from Despicable Me 2) seems to have brought
it quite a bit of attention. It’s now among the Top 10 downloads in iTunes, and
Billboard columnist Sean Ross speculates that it soon may be getting heavy airplay on a variety of radio formats.
It will be
interesting to see whether it comes out on top on Oscar night, since it will
have formidable competition from U2’s “Ordinary Love” (from Mandela: Long Walk
to Freedom), another great song, from an excellent movie that apparently got
lost in the Christmas shuffle in terms of box office success.
