And here we go - bit of a messy recording process to get here, but here we are. Next up, I think I'm ready to talk about Emotional ...

You know, it feels like it's been a while since we've had a week that I'd otherwise describe as 'normal' on the Hot 10...

So that's the next list out - okay, Billboard BREAKDOWN and two lists left to write (plus the last episode of Resonators for this sea...

So here's where things get hard - I already said in my last list that 2018 was a pretty bad year for the Hot 100... but was it, really? ...

Well, damn, that took way too long... And judging what's coming up on Resonators, that might take way too long as well... as well a...

So this wasn't what I was expecting. I mean, sure, I knew there'd be some traction coming from Juice WRLD and Future's collabo...

So this was a tricky week to put together, but overall it turned out okay. Next up... man, I'm excited to talk about Noname, so sta...

Not really a tremendous amount to say about htis one - it's a good pop record, generally enjoyable, it connected for me. But next.....

Well, it's about time this got released - and while I don't often claim to be ahead of the curve when it comes to pop music, I can...

To say I have some mixed feelings about this week would be understating it. On the one hand, I'm reasonably happy with a few shifts in...

Well, not a great week, but you can get by on stuff like this. Plus 'False Alarm' came back and that song rules. Next up, D.R...

Well, it couldn't last. The past few weeks on Billboard BREAKDOWN, while not perfect, have at least shown a little more potential, but...
