Mentioned those two songs specifically because they both got to #1. This is a column about #1 singles.

Peaked at #2. (It's a 4.)

Maybe this is the right place to mention that Bob Marley's Ben & Jerry's flavor fucking slaps.

I think the first #1 from both black and white singers is the Marcels' "Blue Moon," from 1961.

I wish I'd put all that together. That's amazing.

I love shoot-em-ups and wrote like 2 different columns about action movies, and that shit was still too bleak for me.

It's the last line. They shank the shit out of it, but it's still a redeeming feature, albeit a tiny one.

2 problems with this: The record company is *not* going to give him lots of money. And everything is *not* going to be all right.

I had never heard of Beyblades before they hit my son's kindergarten class last year, and they waaaaay more popular among the kids I know than fidget spinners ever were.

John Wick is a man of focus, determination, sheer will -- something you know very little about.

I got "Jungle Boogie" as a 9 but it's on the precipice.

I want you guys to understand something: There are so many great Rap City freestyles that I didn't even include the one where Beanie Sigel says "do the right thing like a spike lee joint, bang the thing in his right knee joint"

They are literally only a cover band. That's their whole concept. They play goofy snot-punk covers of old '70s and '80s pop songs.

It definitely was, tho I didn't remember the Brolin angle until I'd already written the rest of it.

Burnette was working in an era when pop singers very, very rarely wrote their own songs. I'm pretty sure this was widely known. More than anyone else, the Beatles changed that. So largely because of his own old band, circa-'73 Ringo was operating in an era when pop music really *was* understood as a vehicle for personal expression. So even though Ringo didn't sing the original version, his take on it looks nastier today, at least to me.

Also I wasn't 21 yet, and I probably couldn't afford a single drink in there, but I still should've tried it.

oh jesus. off the dome: - revolution summer dc hardcore - late 80s uk acid house - early/mid-60s mod, when it looked like quadrophenia - late-70s doing-it-in-the-park hip-hop - mid-90s get-buck gangsta-walk memphis rap - mancuso loft-era disco - circa-67 san francisco psychedelia - funkmaster flex at the tunnel - mid-60s motown, when they'd do those revue shows - early-90s riot grrrrl, like those international pop underground shows

"Sweet Home Alabama" is a 10 because it obviously fucking slaps. Sometimes you guys think too hard.

You gotta see strollers up-close in-person to know if that's the one you wanna get. You're gonna be spending a lot of time with those things, and you need to know if you can figure out how to fold the thing up right.

I don't know what you were doing in the early '90s, but nobody thought Beavis and Butthead's shirts were cool.

You gotta work pretty hard to say that race is not implied in a story about a man named Leroy Brown from the South Side of Chicago.

Y'all can say what you want but "Shambala" goes so hard.

His highest-charting solo single, at #26. Would've been such an obvious 10.
