Someone once posted that your taste in music ends around the time you're in high school/college, and I thought that was bullshit until I looked at every Billboard Top 100 list since 1990. I started recognizing titles in the mid-90s (right before I was born) and stopped recognizing them in the mid-2010s (right smack dab in the middle of my college years)
Shit.
So-called free thinker, over here 👍

after a long long hiatus, here's one of the final music charts!
an explanation for both sides:
argyle: uhhh this one i don't have a ton of confidence in? i did research but i am still not an expert on reggae music. I went with some of the more popular/influential reggae artists i could find here. Ska kind of goes hand and hand with reggae, so psychedelic rock is more of an outlier here. but not that much cause it is also heavily associated with drugs, thus the name. another potential genre to be included is acid rock, which is similar to psychedelic rock but more focused in the west coast.
eddie: so all i really knew of metal before making this was dio and judas priest, so much research was needed! originally i had envisioned glam metal to be alongside the two other genres, because i naively thought it was considered metal, yknow, based on the name. but after considerable research i learned that it's not really as similar to traditional metal as you might think. glam metal has more heavy themes of vanity and sex and drugs and way more commercial success. a lot of metalheads look down upon it, and metal musicians actually created the thrash metal genre in the mid-80s as a form of rebellion against it (metallica, slayer, megadeth and anthrax being kind of the pioneers of the genre.) i believe this more anti-conformist genre was more true to eddie's character than glam metal, which is the genre actually assigned to billy and way more fitting for that character. and then there's heavy metal and hard rock which should be more self-explanatory.
i've updated some of the other charts and will continue to do so, so be sure to check all of them out!
Will + Mike version / Jonathan + Nancy version / Max + Lucas version / Dustin + El version / Robin + Steve version / Joyce + Hopper version

♫ Chantilly Lace ♫
Tonight, I transport you back in time … waaaaayyyyy back, to 1958. I was 7 years old … some of you probably weren’t even born yet!
To the world, he was known as The Big Bopper, but his name was Jiles Perry (J.P.) Richardson. He was a prominent DJ at KTRM in Beaumont, Texas with a few songs to his credit, such as this one, and his songs would later provide hits for Johnny Preston with Running…

Did you know that "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey has managed to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 each holiday season every year since 2019?
Just a fun fact I thought I'd share for no specific reason.
Anyway looks like Taylor's single got bumped off of the #1 spot this week.

Revisiting the Charts #2: November 22, 1959 (Billboard Hot 100)
Fast forward a few years, this edition of Revisiting the Charts takes a look at the top 10 of one of the last weeks of the 1950s. The Hot 100 chart as we know it was already pretty much established by that time!
1. Mr. Blue — The Fleetwoods
Current Spotify stats: 25.267.083 plays
This song is an odd case. It doesn’t have a strong hook, and at first it may seem boring, but then it goes into rather unexpected and pleasant ways. I’m surprised it managed to be a #1 hit, but it’s definitely a grower.
2. Mack the Knife — Bobby Darin
Current Spotify stats: 79.694.412 plays
A classic song with a classic and charismatic performance by Mr. Darin. One of the essential recordings of the crooner era.
3. Don’t You Know — Della Reese
Current Spotify stats: 495.769 plays
Mrs. Reese had a pleasant voice, and the fussy arrangement also contributes to make this recording neatly presentable, but not particularly memorable.
4. Put Your Head on My Shoulder — Paul Anka
Current Spotify stats: 345.483.464 plays
Another classic that has stood the test of time, as evidenced by its strong streaming numbers. I think overplay killed a little of this song’s magic for me, but I can understand its enduring appeal.
5. Heartaches by the Number — Guy Mitchell
Current Spotify stats: 17.812.282 plays
Smart songwriting and a catchy tune, coupled with Mr. Mitchell’s soothing vocals, make this song a worthy hit.
6. Lonely Street — Andy Williams
Current Spotify stats: 156.573 plays
While Andy Williams was always recognized as a crooner, not a rocker, you can hear some clear echoes of Elvis Presley here. It was a wise move, as the sound fits the song pretty well, and gives it a distinct freshness.
7. Teen Beat — Sandy Nelson
Current Spotify stats: 238.870 plays
Technically speaking, this is not a high quality recording. The music isn’t much better: it sounds like somebody trying to find a tune. Perhaps a more skilled musician could’ve transformed this into something, but the results we have sound more like “Teen Noise”.
8. Deck of Cards — Wink Martindale
Current Spotify stats: 379.983 plays
This is an unusually long song for the period (almost 4 minutes!). Some religious/"inspirational" songs can be enjoyable, but this recitation is far too boring and preachy to be such a case.
9. So Many Ways — Brooke Benton
Current Spotify stats: 400.926 plays
Sweet romantic song, so charming. I bet it was a popular choice at proms.
10. Primrose Lane — Jerry Wallace
Current Spotify stats: 566.102 plays
This one almost reaches the point of generic dullness. Proceed with caution.
