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...

Can't believe I nearly forgot to post this mess... enjoy!

So something every music critic loves to do is craft a 'narrative' surrounding the sound of a specific year, especially with the ben...

Well damn, this was a messy week (and by some miracle I dodged the copyright bots...) - anyway, next up it looks like I'm going to Ia...

I think the chaos of 2018 warped how I normally see the Hot 100. Granted, part of this feels driven by the fact that at this point last ye...

I've put up with a lot from Jason Aldean. And make no mistake, it seems like every time he opens up his mouth in an interview I end ...

Well, this was an interesting week. I wouldn't quite call it a great one, but overall pretty solid. Next up, we hit Chicago with Dr...
