Data journalist Chris Dalla Riva brings charts, facts, and plenty of fight to Uncharted Territory: What Numbers Tell Us About the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves, a tour through every Billboard Hot 100 #1 and the strange incentives that pick our "popular." They debate whether streaming makes the charts more accurate or just more boring—why Christmas songs now squat in the Top 10, why covers almost always slow songs down, and what the early "wilderness years" of the Hot 100 were missing. There's also a detour into the power of platform kings (hello, Sean Parker) and how a playlist can turn "Royals" into destiny. Plus: Trump's ghoulish Rob Reiner post, a reminder of Reiner's unreal directing run, and a weekend that managed to be both pointless and ugly.

The new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning is igniting a firestorm — not only for its graphic accounts of alleged abuse, but for what former Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims happened behind the scenes financially. One allegation in particular is shaking viewers: that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly charged the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. for the costs associated with his funeral, even as he publicly positioned himself as the devastated best friend mourning a national tragedy. But the documentary doesn't stop there. Across four episodes, The Reckoning lays out three decades of alleged financial exploitation involving major Bad Boy artists — from Craig Mack, the label's first breakout star who died broke after struggling to escape his contract, to producer Lil Rod Jones, who says he was paid just $29,000 for producing an entire 2023 album. Interviews, journals, and firsthand accounts suggest a long-running pattern of lopsided deals, silenced artists, and power structures designed to keep money flowing in one direction. This episode breaks down the key allegations from the Netflix doc, including Burrowes' journals, the claims surrounding Biggie's travel schedule before his death, what insiders call the “March 9th ritual,” and the reactions from those who worked closest to Combs. We also examine reporting from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, NBC News, and Mark Curry's 2009 memoir Dancing with the Devil, which outlined similar concerns long before this documentary was ever made. Combs denies all allegations, calling the documentary a “shameful hit piece.” He is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence on two Mann Act convictions and is appealing his case. He has never been charged in connection with the deaths of Biggie or Tupac and maintains his innocence.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to Rolling Stone and Billboard the past few days have capped a pivotal stretch for Post Malone as he continues his pivot from hip hop hybrid star to full scale country mainstay while still playing global pop headliner. Multiple outlets report he has been riding sustained momentum from his country crossover hits including I Had Some Help with Morgan Wallen and Pour Me A Drink with Blake Shelton as year end charts and Grammy chatter keep his name circulating in industry columns and trade press. Entertainment Tonight and People magazine note that his recent live sets have leaned harder into this new country persona with stripped back arrangements and cowboy aesthetics while still delivering staples like Circles and Sunflower to keep mainstream pop audiences locked in. On the business and branding side Variety and The Hollywood Reporter describe him as increasingly strategic aligning appearances with major festival style events and premium sponsorships and emphasizing a cleaned up image after earlier years dominated by tattoos and party heavy narratives. Recent commentary from The New York Times music desk frames this as a deliberate repositioning toward long term Nashville credibility rather than short viral cycles. According to social media tracking summarized in USA Today his name has trended repeatedly on X formerly Twitter and TikTok as fan clips from recent shows circulate highlighting his more relaxed sober seeming stage presence and affectionate moments with fans including signing cowboy hats and pausing mid set to talk about gratitude and fatherhood. Gossip focused outlets like TMZ and DeuxMoi have floated unverified whispers about new collaborations and possible engagement rumors but none of these claims are confirmed by his representatives or by major newsrooms and should be treated as speculation only. The most contentious headline of the week comes from regional Indian press including The Assam Tribune which reports that police in Guwahati say they have received no formal complaint so far after a UK travel vlogger alleged on Instagram that she and a friend were touched without consent in the crowd at his recent concert there. Authorities told the paper they attempted to reach the women via social media and stressed that any investigation can only proceed if a complaint is filed while also insisting that womens safety remains a priority at such large events.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Billboard has come out with their top songs for 2025 list! We've got the top 5 from the list and we want to know, do you agree or disagree that these were the top songs of the year??

The fellas are back with another brutally honest and hilariously unfiltered episode of the Bad Speakers Podcast, where hip-hop, sports, and real-life debates collide. This week's conversation gets spicy fast — from Diddy's ongoing scandals to NBA legends, boxing drama, relationship truth-telling, and the hottest rappers of 2025. The episode jumps off with a full breakdown of the Diddy documentary and whether 50 Cent is wrong for exposing Diddy's alleged shady business practices and sexual assault accusations. Is 50 just being petty… or is he doing necessary work? Next, the crew dives into Chris Paul being sent home by the Clippers during his retirement season, after clashing with teammates and management. Did CP3 deserve better? In boxing news, they react to Terence Crawford being stripped of his WBC title for refusing to pay a $300K sanctioning fee — is boxing corrupt, or is Crawford in the right? Then it gets heated with NBA talk as the guys break down LeBron James ending his double-digit scoring streak to make "the right play." Should the streak still count? And does Michael Jordan actually hold the real scoring streak? Plus, they debate whether MJ had a limited bag, or if the younger generation is just rewriting history out of hate. On the music side, they react to Billboard's 10 Hottest Female Rappers of 2025, review Lil Baby's new album “The Leaks,” and discuss 21 Savage's upcoming project “What Happened to the Streets?” They also break down a wild rumor involving a Buffalo wide receiver possibly point shaving, ask the age-old question “Are there any good women left?”, and celebrate Shedeur Sanders' breakout game with 300 yards and 3 TDs. This episode is a full mix of comedy, cultural commentary, sports debates, relationship talk, and hip-hop insight — the exact brand of intelligent ignorance you come here for.

Welcome to another Bob Barry Unearthed Interviews Podcast, the only podcast that still thinks bell-bottoms were a good idea and believes every family should travel across the country in a psychedelic school bus. Today we're dialing the nostalgia meter all the way to plaid. Joining us are two unforgettable faces and personalities from the grooviest sitcom this side of 1970: The Partridge Family. That's right, we've got none other than Danny Bonaduce, the 12-year-old redheaded rebel bass player, with more sass than a box of studio audience laughs. And Dave Madden, better known as Reuben Kincaid, the band's slightly frazzled but always lovable manager who somehow kept that musical brood from diving off a cliff…most of the time. Hard to believe that today is the 55th anniversary of their biggest hit "I Think I Love You" reaching No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
Den amerikanske konceptkunstner Danny Cole vil med en digital finte og 100.000 almindelige menneskers lydfiler stryge til tops på den amerikanske hitliste Billboard 200.

Do This, NOT That: Marketing Tips with Jay Schwedelson l Presented By Marigold
Holiday gift snooping, F-bomb subject lines, and an AI country hit somehow all end up in the same conversation, and Jay Schwedelson has opinions. From Lowe's genius decoy gift boxes to a wildly misjudged suit sale email to a simple subject line trick that quietly spikes opens, this week is part marketing therapy, part pop culture catch-up. If you've ever wondered where the line is between clever and cringe, or how targeted your targeting should really be, this one will get you rethinking your next send.Best Moments:(00:20) Lowe's leans into holiday chaos with free decoy boxes so parents can hide gifts in plain sight from snooping kids.(01:25) A suit brand fires off a Black Friday email with a "grow the f**k up and buy a suit" subject line that explodes into a full-blown PR apology tour.(03:02) Double personalization in subject lines like "pet parents of anxious dogs" or "mid-market CMOs Q1 pipeline fix" quietly crushes with big open rate lifts and way better qualified clicks.(04:18) Jay breaks down why narrowing your audience with ultra-specific segments may lower volume but massively upgrade intent and sales potential.(06:05) An AI-generated country song hits number one on the Billboard charts, and Jay questions whether machine-made music should even be allowed on human charts.(05:12) Streaming recs get personal as Jay walks back his early take on Netflix's The Beast in Me and admits he still cannot bring himself to care about Stranger Things or the Taylor and Travis wedding frenzy.Check out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/
We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Elvis Costello. ABOUT ELVIS COSTELLOReleased between 1977 and 1979, Elvis Costello's first three albums—My Aim is True, This Year's Model, and Armed Forces—were all included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. That early period of his recording career yielded now-classic singles such as “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives,” “Pump it Up,” “Radio Radio,” “Oliver's Army,” “Accidents Will Happen,” and others.Though he established his career as a rock artist and reached commercial heights in the US with the pop hit “Everyday I Write the Book,” Costello's more than thirty studio albums cover a breathtaking range of stylistic ground, from Almost Blue, his early 1980s album of country covers, to The Juliet Letters, his 1993 collaboration with The Brodsky Quartet, to North, an album of ballads partially inspired by his wife Diana Krall that topped Billboard's Jazz chart in 2003, to Il Sogno, his first full-length orchestral work, which was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and topped Billboard's classical chart in 2004, to Wise Up Ghost, a 2013 collaboration with Questlove and The Roots. In between, he's continued to release albums both solo and with his bands The Attractions, The Imposters, and The Sugarcanes. Always an adventurous collaborator, Costello entered into a fruitful songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney that yielded more than a dozen songs, including Costello's Top 10 single “Veronica” and McCartney's “My Brave Face.” He went on to release entire collaborative albums with Richard Harvey, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, and others. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson, as well as musical settings for lyrics by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. His songs have been covered by a range of artists including George Jones, Chet Baker, Dusty Springfield, and Solomon Burke. Costello has been nominated for fourteen Grammy awards, two of which he won, as well as an Academy Award for co-writing “The Scarlet Tide” with T-Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain. He has received two Ivor Novello awards for Songwriting, the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting award, and the ASCAP Founder's Award, which was presented by Burt Bacharach. He was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and was named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. His genre-stretching new album, Hey Clockface, was recorded in Helsinki and Paris, and was released on October 30. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we rewind to September 4, 1993, a moment when alternative rock, R&B, reggae-pop, hip-hop, and mainstream pop were all shaping a wildly diverse musical landscape.

This week on Labor History Today, we revisit the 1946 Oakland General Strike through the eyes of labor educator and activist Stan Weir — and uncover the surprising role a chart-topping “country” hit played on the picket line. After we hear the day's events from Labor History in 2:00, host Chris Garlock digs into Weir's vivid account of the strike's carnival-like atmosphere, where bars rolled jukeboxes into the streets and “Pistol Packin' Mama” — the first country song ever to top the Billboard pop chart — echoed off downtown buildings for 54 hours. We trace how an American Federation of Musicians strike helped turn the tune into a national sensation, and why its defiant energy resonated with the mostly women department-store strikers who ignited the Oakland uprising. Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. #LaborRadioPod #History #WorkingClass #ClassStruggle @GeorgetownKILWP #LaborHistory @ILLaborHistory @AFLCIO @StrikeHistory #LaborHistory @wrkclasshistory
