So it might not be obvious, but I've had a fucking miserable night trying to get all of this put together. Jesus Fucking CHRIST, YouT...

So regardless of any scattered tidbits of information we might get the next week or two, I'm at least confident that this week is...

Yeah, rough episode... it happens. Next up, I'm finally going to talk about The Highwomen, then probably Lower Dens - stay tuned!

This week does not matter. Now the natural expansion of that is saying, 'look, the Billboard Hot 100 is a badly constructed fugazi of ...

Okay, so a bit of a rough episode, but it resolved alright enough... Anyway, back to disappointments - stay tuned!

So am I the only one who feels like all the album bombs I've been predicting just are not happening in the same way they used to? Mayb...

Okay, bit of a slower week, but kind of a mess too... Anyway, tomorrow is the sixth year anniversary, and I've got something fun pl...

Am I the only one who thinks that we all dodged a bullet this week? I figured there was a real possibility that given the sparse set of re...

Alright, this actually came together a fair bit better than I was expecting - go figure.  Next up... well, the poll says Bastille, so s...

So this is one of those weeks on Billboard BREAKDOWN that can be draining to talk about, mostly because it's easy but time-consuming t...

And this week blew. No way around it, it sucked, and it leads me with a sour taste in my mouth if I'm stuck with Future and Juice WRL...

So am I the only one feeling underwhelmed? Like, I know the new Quavo album is already fading from memory - hell, you could make the argum...

Lighter week, for sure, but I wouldn't really say a better one, to be honest. Thankfully, next up is both lighter and  better, so s...

So this is a point we typically hit around this time of the year: the charts start to slow down for the holiday season, we get a few extra...

Well, this sucked. Amazingly Garth Brooks somehow has not flagged the video for copyright, but we'll see if that lasts...

So I'm not saying this week was crazy busy or anything - it really wasn't, and outside of some notable shifts, most of our new arr...
