Hey @tombreihan.bsky.social, happy mutual birthday to my fellow chart-chronicler. Here's a thematically appropriate banger—if Billboard had launched the Modern Rock chart just 6 months sooner in '88, I'll bet you would've gotten to write about it for

UPDATE: I called it—“Jolene” reenters@ No16, “I Will Always Love You” debuts@ No27. (First #Hot100 appearance ever for the latter!) I’m esp.proud I called which returning hit would be biggest—“IWALY” is more apropos to the moment but I just knew

A “fun” read from @totcharts.bsky.social+a must-read for bellow chart junkies—even as it will not restore your faith in either the music biz or artist fandoms. I learned a few things—I missed that 6ix9ine leaked the #Hot100 formula & forgot Dua’s

It’s all coming back: my latest #HitParadePod —now live on @slate.com—is about Canadian chanteuse CĂ©line Dion, training like an Olympian for her stage comeback. We go deep on her imperial ’90s when she turned flops into smashes & supercharged the

I enjoyed talking w/Lawrence Peryer for his cultural conversation podcast @thetonearm.com. We had a wide-ranging chat—from Taylor Swift to James Taylor
why I loved Bruce Hornsby & couldn't abide Bon Jovi
why Billy Idol + Pointer Sisters are great

Anybody playing Catalogues, the new pattern-recognition game from @newyorker.com? Today’s installment (Fri 31 Jul) was—you might say—up my alley. I got it in 1—if you’re a fellow #Hot100 chart nerd you will too. P.S.One of the names in the stack will
