I'm lost for words. The fact that I had to take such a long upload gap to deal with a bunch of harrowing life bs, that I put my faith in my community to still be there for me when I got back, and to have that faith rewarded with far and away my best numbers EVER? Thank you. That's all I can say.
This list of #1 hits is sad, man. Pop music right now is the same as everything else in the world... the top 1% jockeying for position with their most mediocre work. Even the one new star, Ella Langley, makes the least institutionally challenging music of anyone who's ever risen as fast as she did.
I get that the YouTube algorithm has worked out by now that I'm neurodivergent, and that I've held onto some of my childhood interests more than most people my age tend to... but there is a point at which some of these recommendations start to feel insulting.
Glad to finally have a physical copy of this...this will DEFINITELY come in handy for some future projects
Bad news: I'm gonna need a few more days to finish the 2025 video. Good news: I'm not in the hospital anymore!👍
There are many bad things about being born in 1997, but one genuinely nice thing is that I feel like I was born into the sweet spot of tech accessiblity. As a kid, I learned how to use modern tech for work, without it being SO automated that I'm just a passive user with no understanding of process.
The comments on Sabrina Carpenter's Met Gala dress... ...yeah America's cultural vibe shift is 100% here, it's impossible to deny.
Sometimes I forget just what a large percentage of this site is people reposting shit that would be passé even by the standards of a 2011 Facebook post
Someone on my community tab asked me why my Worst List isn't out yet, despite it being near completion for a while now. I like the response I wrote, and I want to share it. Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding.
Seriously, look at this list of the Billboard #1 hits of 2026. This is an interesting list which tells a fascinating cultural story, and yet if a person on the street had literally heard of NONE of these songs besides the one from the 90s, that would be less surprising to me than the alternative.
All-time shitty round going on right now lmaooo
Lmao rip bozo If GenAI has literally ANY future as a consumer product, it will only be in the realm of text & still images... the costs of on-demand AI video generation (legal, monetary, energy & data consumption, etc) are far too high to be make it feasible, and that's not even touching on ethics.
Hey so I know this is probably a joke, but for the sake of those trying to make an honest living in the industry as well as the overall integrity of the American media ecosystem, let's not say shit like this, alright?
My 2023 year-end ranking honestly has some of my favorite lines I've ever written in it
Future generations are going to see anti-homeless architecture the same way we view "Whites Only" water fountains now: a defining symptom of a fundamentally sick era, an icon of a barbaric society in denial of it's nature.
Here is every song that is currently locked for, or has (imo) a decent chance to make, the Billboard 2026 Year-End Hot 100, now that we're about a third of the way through. A song's number shows where it is now, relative to the other songs on this list.
I know that Top 3 logically makes sense, but WOW, does that Top 3 not make sense in my brain /pos
...ok never mind, clearly I need to have more faith in my audience.
Like if I were to predict, I'd guess that Round 2 of the Billboard Year-End #78 poll will look something like this, and that is a fucking INSANE lineup for only the second round
