Hot off the internet and laptops around campus come this week's top ten Ruckus downloads.

1. "Falsetto" by The-Dream off of their "Lovehate" Album
2. "I Luv [sic] Your Girl" also by The-Dream
3. "Suffocate" by J. Holiday off of the album "Back Of My Lac'"
4. "Take You Down" by Chris Brown off of the album "Exclusive"
5. "Damage" also by Chris Brown off the album "Exclusive"
6. "With You" another by Chris Brown off of the album "Exclusive"
7. "Playin' In Her Hair" by The-Dream off of the album "Lovehate"
8. "Purple Kisses" another by The-Dream on the album "Lovehate"
9. "Like You'll Never See Me Again" by Alicia Keys off of the album "As I Am"
10. "You" another one by Chris Brown off of, you guessed it, the album "Exclusive"

Students who used Ruckus this week were downloading Chris Brown's and The Dream's music in force. Hopefully next week, when everyone has played these songs to death, we will get some variety in the lineup. Until then here are your hits. You can look to The Bengal each week to find out what your friends who have Ruckus are listening to, that is if you aren't talking to each other for some reason.
If you are like me and your friends won't tell you the music they are listening to because they do not want you to make it suddenly lame, Ruckus has the answer.
A recent addition to Ruckus called Match & Snatch which suggests music for you to listen to based on your previous selections. As it looks now, Match & Snatch will be able to take the year off and just suggest Chris Brown and The Dream to everyone and enjoy an eighty percent success rate.
Match & Snatch also allows users to check out what their friends are listening to without them telling you, just in case your friend still isn't talking to you and will not return your calls.
In their press release Ruckus commented that "The new service is undergoing beta testing, and has been exclusively released to five schools, including ISU." With this honor comes the responsibility of using it, hopefully for songs by other artists. There are 3.2 million songs available on Ruckus by many artists that aren't Chris Brown or The Dream. There are lots of songs to choose from- did I say that already?
If you are not part of the completely legal music downloading sensation that is Ruckus you can join by going to www.ruckus.com. You need to sign up with an ISU e-mail address to get the free service that has made Chris Brown and The Dream popular this week.
