Yeah, I was late posting this in multiple places... vacation happened, folks, dunno what to say. Enjoy?

Well, the lists start off strong - the Premiere really was fun to hang with y'all, might have to do that again soon... Also, just a...

So I'm not going to mince words or waste your time here: 2018 was not a good year for the Hot 100. Perhaps not as bad as 2016 given how ...

So hmm, I'm not sure this'll get all the way past the copyright bullshit, but this is a new tactic I'm trying, we'll see ...

So I've talked before about deceptive weeks on the Hot 100, where there seems to be a lot of activity at first glimpse before a closer...

Yeah, this was messy, putting this together... not a good episode at all, but hey, I tried. But alright, can't promise a review tom...

...you know, it's funny, when I made my rule about album bombs just last week I was expecting that it'd face a challenge sooner ra...

So this is still somewhat in copyright hell, so we'll see how long it lasts up... but for now, check it out.  And on that note...

...well, I can't say that the Hot 100 doesn't surprise me occasionally. I was expecting some fallout from the Pusha-T and Drake b...

So yeah, this week was kind of messy... but hey, it could be worse (like what I'm expecting next week), so on that topic...

You know, it's only in the streaming album bomb era where the cool down week gets any sort of appreciation. I can't even say it wa...

And here we are - I'm actually a little surprised with as many debuts as we got this is actually out on time. Okay, Phonte is up ne...

So it's pretty rare I get surprised on the Hot 100 - I've been doing this for three and a half years and I have chart records goin...

My god, this was a messy week... and honestly, I think the thumbnail kind of captures that, admittedly not one of my best.  Next up... ...

It feels weird when, for once, my predictions are actually mostly right on the money. Granted, they were pretty obvious predictions in who...

So yeah, this was actually a pretty decent week. What will come next... I'm honestly not sure, will need to check the schedule - so s...
