That, to me, would be way less interesting. What I *like* about this project is the jagged, strange mix of transcendent classics and total junk.

I was really, really sick when I wrote this.

There are no horns on the album.

I think it was right after that period, but I was working and didn't get to see the show. (Summer 2000.)

This is anecdotal, but in looking at all the #1s, it's crazy how many from the disco era are in the 8-minute zone.

If I didn't know an album was coming out when I wrote the previous week's AOTW, I put it into contention for the following week.

Neither of those is gonna be 1 to 10. Honestly that'll probably never happen again.

I legit don't remember what I wrote about, but the funny thing about opinions is that they can change over time.

I wrote that first graph in a kinda fugue state; that's a pretty hilarious misnomer (that I will now fix).

This didn't fit in the piece, but shout out to Chubby Checker for looking a whole lot like the Rock, circa 1998, in that single artwork.

Came out in Japan first. I'm using the US release date.

1 is the bottom of the scale. I won't be giving it out too often.

If you click on the red "the number ones" at the top of any post, you get that.

It's amazing that they got back-to-back #1 singles. (Also I just dropped it down to a 4.)

Simon Cowell says "Mack The Knife" is the best song ever written! Which is pretty weird!

It did, thanks. Everyone's fine.

Jesus christ, imagine not liking doo-wop, disco, *or* trap. What a sad life.

That's another #1! It's amazing. They had two titanic hit singles and then disappeared and became regular people. If Wikipedia is right, they became a factory worker, a trailer park manager, and a housewife.

One is performed with verve and emotion, even if the emotion is a weird sort of glee, and the other is performed with patrician reserve. Lloyd Price sounds like he's living within the situation, while the Kingston Trio sound like they're presenting this story as an object for your appreciation. Or maybe it's just that I like one song and don't like the other one.

Legit forgot about that Fever Ray video. Did not forget about Lily.

I really like "Teen Angel." Your dad is gonna be very disappointed in me.

Just occurred to me that I should make something clear: This is *not* the Swedish EDM group who wear giant laser-eyed bear heads and have a song with Robyn. As you were.

No, because most of them made actual good music. If your music is wan and lifeless, it's a lot easier to focus on the uncomfortable things about it.

One million years. (Thank you.)

Fun fact: I was on the 2008 Summer Jam screen in a Disfear shirt. (I was in the crowd, singing along with "Sexy Can I," and the camera caught me.)

Gotta save the good numbers for the shit that actually bangs. That's why there won't be a 10 until "Lean Back."

Best Columbia street name is Fox Grape Terrace. Also there's a whole subdivision in Columbia called Hobbit's Glen, and all the streets are named Old Dragon Path and shit like that.

I think we will! Islah went platinum, and we are not exactly suffering from a glut of platinum rappers.

New album is cool to say but I didn't have a whole lot more to say after this: https://www.stereogum.com/1907528/on-the-triumphant-nastiness-of-cupcakke/franchises/status-aint-hood/

I don't know if you guys know this, but music critics get advance albums sometimes.

Been thinking about this. What producer could *possibly* make Timberlake make sense in 2018? Antonoff? Kygo? Metro Boomin?
