Unsigned.

Obviously, before music acts become signed to a label, whether it’s a biggie or an indie, they produce their own music and more importantly, they have ideas that they can make a music video with little to no help. The best results are always when people find out the hard way that it’s not as…

Well themed.

I’ve been messing around with the site theme for a while now, you may have noticed it’s changed many times over the last few weeks, you probably didn’t. I’ve settled on this theme now. I refuse to promise not to change it again in 8 minutes, but let’s see what happens. I have a few…

How’s the music chart looking?

It’s almost the end of the first quarter of 2016. Thought I’d take a look at how my Top 40 listened to songs is looking. I don’t feel like giving it the same amount of effort though, so I’m just gonna do a quick run down of ten new entries that have breached the wall…

Best Pop Song Ever. Fact.

Whilst working today I decided to ponder what is the best ever pop song. I decided that, whilst I’m clearly a genius, I’m not capable of making this decision on my own. As I’d like to make a well-educated decision I decided to ask 1,000* people (*all 1,000 were just me putting on voices) what…

It’s Chris. Mr Medcalf, If You’re Nasty.

Next week will mark the 30th anniversary of an 80s classic. Come the 4th of February, Janet Jackson’s Control will be 3 decades old. Is it as good as Rhythm Nation? No. Is it still great? Yes! Rolling Stone even put it at 28th on their list of the 100 Greatest Albums of The Eighties!…

iPodwipe.

Little Charlie Brooker reference for you there. I wiped my iPod a few nights ago. Usually a big decision to start over fresh, but this time it was a pretty easy one to make. After Kate’s birthday party fiasco with the music, transferring the playlist to my iPod had left it bereft of music. I…

I Lied.

This was secretly the number one, most listened to song, by me, last year. Ha.

Encore.

Hope you all liked the Top 40. Here’s something that was further down the list, but I felt like posting about it. The Academy Is… are a band from Chicago that found brief fame in the mid 2000s. They are still going as far as I’m aware but not to the same levels of success….

2015 Top 40, Part 4.

So, we’re into the final stretch! 10: Shakespears Sister – Stay. (427 Plays) Shakespears Sister as we all know and love them formed in 1989, however, Siobhan Fahey (formerly of Bananarama) had started a year previous using the name to perform under. ’89 was when she was joined by Marcella Detroit, owner of the longest…

2015 Top 40, Part 3.

Let’s get on with it, cunts! 20: Phil Collins – I Don’t Care Anymore. (351 Plays) The first of two Phil songs to make the list. The other will be along in a few. This is a song with an amazing purpose and it’s largely down to two factors that have made me listen to…

2015 Top 40, Part 2.

Now we shall continue with 30 – 21! Excited? You fucking should be. 30: The 1975 – Girls. (251 Plays) The first of 8 songs now that have between 250 and 260 plays! I have a feeling this one is so high because I left it on repeat one day. I have listened to it…

2015 Top 40, Part 1.

Hello! Welcome to the top 40 songs I have listened to the most in 2015. It’s as simple as that. To qualify, all a song has to have done is exist and have been listened to by me. My iTunes and my iPod both track what I listen to and keep a tally. I’m now…
