Blue Cheer -Vicebus Eruptum (Phillips Records) Released: January 16, 1968, Recorded: Late 1967.Vincebus Eruptum is Blue Cheer's ferocious debut and one of rock's earliest heavy-metal landmarks. Formed in San Francisco by Dickie Peterson, Leigh Stephens, and Paul Whaley, the trio rejected psychedelic delicacy for raw volume, distortion, and blues-based power. Recorded mostly live, the album captured their brutal sound in real time, anchored by the hit “Summertime Blues,” which improbably stormed the charts. Originals like “Doctor Please” and “Second Time Around” pushed rock toward a darker, heavier future with fuzz-soaked riffs and pounding drums. Critics were split, but audiences embraced its unfiltered energy, sending it to No. 11 on the Billboard 200. Though later lineup changes softened the band's edge, Vincebus Eruptum remains a foundational blueprint for metal, punk, grunge, and stoner rock. (S5, Ep1)

Starting January 17, 2026 (tracking data from January 2-8), Billboard will boost the value of on-demand streams across the Hot 100, Billboard 200, and genre charts—adjusting premium (paid/subscription) streams to require just 1,000 for one unit (up from 1,250) and ad-supported streams to 2,500 (up from 3,750), narrowing the ratio to 1:2.5. Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this shift reflects rising streaming revenue and evolving listener habits while exploring YouTube's decision to withdraw all data from U.S. charts after January 16, 2026, over disagreements on equal stream weighting.

On the 72nd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus welcome back special guest Steve Wright, the podcast host of Podder Than Hell, to review the 1986 polarizing album "Turbo," by Judas Priest. Heavy Metal Gods Judas Priest make their first appearance on the Album Review Crew with their most controversial album. This is Judas Priest with their classic lineup, led by charismatic frontman with his legendary vocals, Rob Halford. The dual guitar attack by Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing is amongst the best in heavy metal. Ian Hill on bass and Dave Holland on drums complete the rhythm section. Turbo made it to #17 on Billboard album charts and eventually went platinum. Their videos for Turbo Lover, Locked In & Parental Guidance were in the MTV rotation . Turbo was a vast departure from what Judas Priest fans were used to and caused quite a stir. Their image and sound, especially the use of synthesizers was shocking to many. This was the Patreons' pick (especially Frank Anzalone). So tune in to find out if you are my Game Show Lovaaaa!

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to Billboard and JubileeCast, the most biographically significant Justin Bieber development of the past few days is not a party shot but a post. In a widely shared Christmas season message, he wrote candidly about the personal cost of fame and declared bluntly I am not a product, criticizing how the music industry treats artists as commodities. He described feeling shaped, rushed, and used in his earlier career, but framed this as a story of healing, saying he has been restored through confronting pain rather than numbing it, and tying that process to his Christian faith, forgiveness, and a new sense of worth beyond chart positions. Commentators at JubileeCast say the remarks have resonated across the industry, positioning Justin less as a teen idol and more as a veteran voice in the broader mental health and artist rights conversation, a shift that could shape his legacy long after any single record.On the lighter side of the holiday news cycle, AOLs Christmas roundups placed Justin and Hailey Bieber on the cozy celebrity list, noting that the couple spent the holiday season together and looked very much a united front amid a year of constant speculation about their marriage. Entertainment outlets continue to recycle older December pap shots and travel sightings, but no major new public appearance or red carpet moment has been confirmed in just the past few days, and there are no verified updates on new business signings, tours, or deals in that same narrow window.In music and business context that is still driving headlines, The Honey Pop and Vogue Singapore both continue to spotlight his 2025 double albums Swag and Swag II as defining pop releases of the year, with more than forty tracks that reframe him as an R and B leaning adult artist rather than a nostalgia act, while earlier coverage from Music Business Worldwide and Parade underscores how his catalog sale and expanding fashion ventures have turned him into a full scale asset and brand. Looking ahead, fan and blog chatter about a 2026 Coachella headline slot, expanded Twitch livestreams, and new SKYLRK drops remains speculative only, with no formal confirmation from Justin or his team.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been keeping a low profile over the holidays but made waves with a poignant Christmas message on identity and faith, declaring to Billboard via JubileeCast, "I'm not a product," as he reflected on industry pressures, healing through forgiveness, and hoping for a more compassionate music world that values artists as people. AOL reports he and Hailey cozied up for Christmas 2025, countering unverified rumors from less reliable outlets like emec.org.uk claiming he wanted a quiet holiday alone without her—no credible sources confirm any marital strain. In Tokyo earlier this month, Setlist.fm confirms Bieber performed a rare live set at the SKYLRK afterparty on December 5 at 1 OAK, tying into his fashion brand's five-day popup shop from December 4 to 8, which 3Dnatives and 3D Printing Industry hailed for debuting the innovative 3D-printed Earth Bender sneaker under his Skylrk label co-founded with Neima Khaila and design input from Hailey. The Hollywood Gossip notes he lost about 270,000 Instagram followers around December 3, prompting a defiant middle-finger selfie post with no explanation, while he vented frustration over Apple's iPhone dictation glitch interrupting his music, earning thousands of likes and an OpenAI invite. Business buzz persists from Hailey's Rhode sale to e.l.f. Beauty for one billion dollars in May, which Parade and AOL say boosted their combined net worth to around 500 million, with Justin publicly praising her hustle. Musically, The Honey Pop crowns his Swag album—his first in four years—a 2025 Spotify Wrapped triumph with R&B hits like Yukon and Devotion, signaling a mature comeback ahead of his confirmed Coachella 2026 headline slot, though no full tour is planned per insiders. These moves underscore Bieber's pivot to controlled ventures, health focus, and empire-building, far outweighing fleeting social media noise in biographical weight.Thanks for tuning in, come back next week for more.

Christianity showed up in the mainstream in unexpected ways this year. Are we in a revival?Take a look at this year's Billboard charts. For the first time, multiple Christian musicians charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time — and stayed there for weeks.

We've been celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, for our final "classic episode" of 2025, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with "All I Want for Christmas" co-writer Walter Afanasieff. Happy holidays and thanks for a great year of looking back together as we continue to look toward the future!ABOUT WALTER AFANASIEFFThirteen-time Grammy nominee and two-time winner Walter Afanasieff is best known for his collaborative songwriting and production partnership with Mariah Carey that yielded hit singles such as “Can't Let Go,” “Dreamlover,” “Hero,” “Without You,” “Anytime You Need a Friend,” “Butterfly,” “My All,” and “One Sweet Day,” a duet with Boyz II Men that was named ASCAP Song of the Year. It hit #1 in December of 1995 and stayed there for sixteen weeks—a record that remained unbroken for more than two decades. Their “All I Want for Christmas is You” was released in 1994 and has since become a holiday standard. It hit #1 on Billboard's pop chart for the first time in 2019, giving Walter and Mariah the world record for the longest period of time between a song's original release and its arrival at the top of the chart. In addition to his success with Carey, Afanasieff carved out a formidable reputation as a go-to producer of hit movie songs. After co-writing and co-producing the Gladys Knight single “License to Kill” from the James Bond film of the same name, he went on to produce “Beauty and the Beast,” “A Whole New World” from Aladdin, “Even If My Heart Would Break” from The Bodyguard, and “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic, which became the best-selling single in the world for 1998. Additionally he produced “Some Day” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Academy Award nominated “Go the Distance” from Hercules.Other hits from the Walter Afanasieff songbook include “Can You Stop the Rain,” a #1 R&B single for Peabo Bryson that earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song, “Missing You Now,” a #1 Adult Contemporary hit for Michael Bolton, “If You Go Away,” a Top 20 single for New Kids on the Block, Savage Garden's #1 pop single “I Knew I Loved You,” and Ricky Martin's massive global hit “She Bangs.”The long list of additional artists Walter has written and produced music for includes Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Luther Vandross, Destiny's Child, Kenny G, Andrea Bocelli, Johnny Mathis, Kenny Loggins, Barbra Streisand, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Babyface, and Josh Groban.

Analytic Dreamz breaks down the core dispute over how Billboard weights paid subscription streams versus ad-supported ones, with YouTube arguing for equal 1:1 counting to better reflect fan engagement across all platforms. Explore the timeline—from YouTube data joining charts in 2013, heavier paid weighting in 2018, Billboard's recent shift narrowing the ratio from 1:3 to 1:2.5 effective January 17, 2026—and statements from YouTube's Lyor Cohen emphasizing "every fan matters." Analytic Dreamz analyzes impacts on Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200, artist strategies, and the broader debate on measuring success in a streaming-dominated industry where free access drives massive plays.

Rob and Dave Pry open the Billboard Holiday 100 for the week of December 13, 2025, like two kids shaking a suspiciously heavy gift under the tree. They wander through the chart's blizzard of seasonal contenders, pointing out the trends, oddities, and eyebrow-raising entries that somehow drifted their way into the top 100. Their goal: identify the tracks that deliver genuine holiday sparkle rather than the musical equivalent of regifted fruitcake. Once the dusting of chart snow settles, the duo assembles a holiday playlist guaranteed to warm spirits, lift moods, and possibly provoke at least one questionable dance move. Expect cozy tunes, festive fireworks, and a sprinkle of strange-but-charming surprises that only this chart can provide. Whatever your December looks like, Rob and Dave's playlist promises to add a little extra twinkle to the chaos.
