Alright, Fen review is coming, plus one from my backlog that I've long been curious to get through before the last two 'must-cove...

I've described weeks on the Hot 100 as 'deceptively busy', where it seems like there's a lot of shuffling around but not a...

Oh boy, this was a total mess... and about the last time I'm properly rendering a video in 4K, because I'm not entirely pleased w...

You know, normally Billboard is a bit more organized when they delineate when their tracking year begins and ends - not this year. A lot o...

Short, but workable... I've had to deal with worse. Next up is Resonators, and ooh boy, I'm excited about this one - stay tuned...

...okay, look, they can't all  be good weeks. And what's frustrating is that in a week with new cuts from both Frank Ocean and Sel...

Okay, looks like things are back on path... busy episode too. Next up, though - got some BABYMETAL coming, so stay tuned!

So I've been predicting for the past few weeks that the charts are on the verge of something breaking - and thus far, the Hot 100 has ...
