A long time coming, but I'm actually really pleased how well this turned out - enjoy!

So I've said before that 2012 is probably among the best years of the Hot 100 this decade, and I stand by that - there was a plethora of...

Well, this was a diverse week. Not precisely a great week, but definitely an interesting one. Only three weeks of the Billboard year, tho...

This was a weird week on the Hot 100. All of a sudden the chart shifting momentum seemed to dry up, and yet we got a whole pile of new arr...

I'm a little surprised I haven't done a full-length review of any of Pitbull's albums, or really given an opinion on him besid...

First list finished! Next up, the top ten best hit songs of 2013 - stay tuned!
