Ecast BarPulse Shows Bar Goers Enjoy a Well-Blended Cocktail of Music While Out

Topping Ecast's October BarPulse, a monthly, national ranking of new music played in bars, is Pink's breakup anthem "So What" from her chart-topping album "Funhouse." The Grammy Award winner's "Sober" appears at number seven. Giving the bad girl of pop rock a run for her money is country punk rocker Hank Williams III with two songs from his new album "Damn Right, Rebel Proud" at number four and six. English rock band Oasis comes in at number three with "The Shock of the Lightning" and again at number nine with "Bag it Up." Keyshia Cole -- with the 2Pac cover "Playa Cardz Right" -- is the sole representative this month from the R&B category, which along with Hip Hop usually takes at least two places in the BarPulse roundup.
