The Beatles have 20 #1 hits. Drake has 4. If you count guest appearances, he has 7. The stats haven't been all the way juked, and a #1 single still means something.
The essential moment is clearly "VROOM VROOM G5 VROOM VROOM WE HIGH"
It's literally the most recent Getty photo that's posed and not a live-performance or paparazzi shot.
Typo. It was supposed to say "biggest." It is their best, agreed.
rich is tryna trap me in the eiiiiightiiiies
Per capita? Yeah, probably. When the Nazis came to town a couple of years ago, it was because locals were trying to get the big centrally located Robert E Lee one taken down. (It's still up because of court orders.)
Initial plan was to give it maybe a 3 or 4, but I just found myself hating it more and more every time I re-listened.
My name is Tom, and I hope so too.

I'm a September 79 baby. I have no generation.
"Just Us" is an amazing song, y'all are tripping.
It just came out, and I'm halfway thru. I love it.
Disagree. As a father, I cannot imagine anything more terrifying than an island full of infants.
Didn't wanna plug it in the body of the piece, but last year, my fellow chart-history chronicler Chris Molanphy had me on his Slate podcast to talk about "Stars On 45. " That's here, if you wanna hear it: https://slate.com/podcasts/hit-parade/2019/08/tom-breihan-joins-chris-molanphy-to-discuss-his-stereogum-project-the-number-ones
Maybe I was just in a bad mood when I listened, I dunno. Will give it another shot after this.
I haven't been a music critic my whole life.
Honestly I loved the constant messy technical difficulties.
my bad that was supposed to say "top 10." it peaked at #11.
oh hey, i was at that show! upstairs bar, not the main room!
Went thru struggles, came back with big hits & weird hair. Also Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Spring Breakers would be a pretty good double feature.
I had Taylor down as Bruce initially.
This isn't "Let's Recast Do They Know It's Christmas"
2004-2008 as a freelancer, 2009-2011 as full-time staff.
I don't believe in factoring in cultural impact.
Stereogum house style to do that with band names, even singular ones.
Oh hey, check out photog Michael D. Thorn's zine. It's thick and glossy and looks cool as hell. New issue up for preorder now. https://razorbladesandaspirin.bigcartel.com/product/razorblades-aspirin-9
He was supposed to be in there last week, too, but the video of his song got taken down and I had to sub something else in at the last minute.
not gonna make a habit of rating music videos but that "high enough" clip slaps so hard.
Isbell is waaaaaaay bigger than DBT now.
that was a fuckup, it was supposed to be a 4. i've been getting dyslexic with these ratings lately.
hell yeah. copyright-flouting ecw entrance themes/package videos were the best shit.
"Goody Two Shoes" is a 9.
