The Wiz (1978) was chosen by show supporter Maff, who's got a talent for picking bold, imaginative movies that really stand out from the pack. This time, he's gone for one of the most ambitious musical productions ever made. The Wiz was Universal's lavish reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, retold through the lens of African American culture and late-1970s New York style. Directed by Sidney Lumet — more famous for his gritty urban dramas like Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon — the film brought together an all-star cast including Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor. With a staggering $24 million budget, it was one of the most expensive musicals of its era, aiming to blend Broadway magic with the spectacle of big-screen fantasy.The production was a monumental undertaking. Filming took place across New York City landmarks like the World Trade Center, the New York State Pavilion, and the Cyclone rollercoaster in Coney Island, all transformed into surreal fantasy settings. Legendary producer Quincy Jones oversaw the music, infusing the original Broadway score with disco, funk, and gospel influences. Despite its breathtaking ambition, The Wiz was plagued by production challenges, critical skepticism, and financial losses on release. However, in the years since, it has earned cult classic status — celebrated for its stunning visuals, imaginative choreography, and Michael Jackson's breakout film performance. It may not have conquered the box office, but The Wiz remains a vibrant, soulful experiment that dared to take Oz somewhere entirely new.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryShe wanted something more… but she never imagined this.When a storm sweeps a shy Harlem schoolteacher into a world unlike anything she's ever known, she must follow the road, face her fears, and find her way home — with the help of some unforgettable friends.Starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor — from the streets of New York to the land of Oz, it's a journey of music, magic, and pure 1970s soul.*The Wiz* — ease on down the road to where dreams, disco, and destiny collide.Fun FactsThe Wiz began as a Broadway musical in 1975, which won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical — long before the movie version was made.Motown Productions co-financed the film, marking one of the first major studio partnerships between Hollywood and a Black-owned entertainment company.Michael Jackson was only 19 years old when he starred as the Scarecrow — and the experience led to his lifelong creative partnership with Quincy Jones.The film's costume designer, Tony Walton, created over 300 costumes, many of which were made from recycled materials to give the movie's world a gritty, urban feel.Sidney Lumet's wife, Gail Jones, the daughter of Lena Horne, helped convince Lumet to take on the project despite his lack of musical experience.The movie's version of “Ease on Down the Road” became a chart-topping hit for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, reaching #41 on the Billboard Hot 100.The yellow brick road was constructed from real vinyl flooring, giving it that glossy, otherworldly shine seen in the film.The production used over 650 dancers for the film's large-scale musical sequences — one of the biggest ensembles ever assembled for a musical at the time.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we dive into the story of Dennis Tufano, the unmistakable voice that brought The Buckinghams to the top of the charts during one of the most exciting eras in American pop and rock music.Dennis Tufano's journey began in Chicago, a city whose vibrant music scene gave rise to countless legends. Long before he was singing “Kind of a Drag” on national television, Dennis was fronting local Chicago bands like The Pulsations, performing in small clubs and perfecting the soulful vocal style that would soon make him famous. When The Pulsations won a TV talent contest and rebranded as The Buckinghams, everything changed—almost overnight.The Buckinghams burst onto the charts in 1967 with “Kind of a Drag,” a song that captured the hearts of fans and climbed straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. With Dennis Tufano's velvety voice leading the way, the band followed up with a string of unforgettable hits: “Don't You Care,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” “Susan,” and “Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song).”At the height of their success, The Buckinghams were one of the most played American groups on radio, performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand, and countless other programs that defined 1960s pop culture. Their fusion of brass-driven rock and soul-infused pop set them apart from both their British contemporaries and the emerging psychedelic rock sound of the time.But Tufano's story didn't end when the hits stopped coming. After The Buckinghams disbanded, Dennis formed the duo Tufano & Giammarese with his former bandmate Carl Giammarese, recording several critically acclaimed albums in the 1970s. The duo showcased a more intimate, singer-songwriter vibe that highlighted Tufano's range and songwriting depth.From there, Dennis moved into solo work, writing and recording for film and television—most notably contributing the theme song to Grease 2. He also worked as a voice actor and composer, keeping his creative spirit alive in new ways.Today, Dennis Tufano remains a beloved performer on the classic rock and oldies circuit, delighting fans with heartfelt performances that revisit The Buckinghams' timeless hits while celebrating his own musical evolution. His live shows remind audiences why his voice was, and still is, one of the most distinctive in American pop music.In this episode, we talk about his early Chicago days, the meteoric rise of The Buckinghams, and how Dennis carved out a remarkable solo career that's still going strong decades later.If you're a fan of 1960s rock, Chicago music history, or the golden age of pop, this episode is a must-listen.

Современный экзотический ансамбль The WAITIKI 7 с гордостью объявляет о выходе нового альбома Exotica Reborn: In Studio and Live at House Without Key - Возрожденная Экзотика: в студии и вживую в Доме без ключа. Записи были сделаны в студии Island Sound Studios в Гонолулу и во время двух выступлений в легендарном ресторане House Without A Key отеля Halekulani на пляже Вайкики.Это первая студийная запись группы с 2011 года и первая концертная запись в Halekulani с 1965 года. Группа состоит из семи первоклассных музыкантов:1. Флейтиста и саксофониста Тима Майера2. Обладателя премии GRAMMY латиноамериканского джазового пианиста Заккая Кёртиса (его альбом Cubop Lives! я обозревал и ссыка будет ниже)3. Скрипачки Хелен Лю4. Вибрафониста Джима Бенуа5. Барабанщика Эйба Лагримаса-младшего6. Басиста и руководителя группы Рэнди Вонга7. Перкуссиониста и орнитолога Оги 'Лопака' Колона-младшего.В альбоме также приняли участие струнный квартет Galliard, маримбанист Мика Мимура и 97-летний барабанщик Гарольд Чанг, записывавшийся на оригинальных пластинках Exotica 1950-х и 1960-х годов с Мартином Денни и Артуром Лайманом.Стиль экзотика, зародившийся в Золотой век Вайкики, был основан виртуозным пианистом Мартином Денни и вибрафонистом Артуром Лайманом. Их новаторские альбомы Exotica и Taboo положили начало культурному феномену, черпая вдохновение в разнообразных этнических влияниях, существовавших на Гавайях после Второй мировой войны.Денни и Лайман познакомили с экзотикой мировую аудиторию, украсив такие популярные телевизионные программы, как American Bandstand - Американская эстрада, Шоу Энди Уильямса и Шоу Стива Аллена. Хит Денни 1959 года Quiet Village - Тихая деревня взлетел до четвёртого места в чартах Billboard, а альбом Exotica занял первое место. В 1961 году его примеру последовала песня Лаймана Yellow Bird - Желтая Птица, занявшая 4-е место в чарте Billboard Hot 100.Благодаря роскошному инструментальному составу и атмосферным эффектам этот стиль стал квинтэссенцией музыкального оформления холостяцких квартир, тики-баров и фантазий элиты, перенося слушателей в далекие края одной нотой.WAITIKI 7 посвятили последние два десятилетия сохранению традиций Exotica, что само по себе немало. Настоящее исполнение этой музыки требует высокой виртуозности и мастерства: глубоких познаний и понимания джазовых и фольклорных традиций, а так же музыкальной лексики середины прошлого века, высокого уровня композиторского мастерства, оркестровки и чтения с листа.Музыка Exotica вывела гавайских джазовых музыкантов на мировую сцену, - говорит Рэнди Вонг, басист и лидер группы. Это своего рода культурное полотно - художественная интерпретация плавильного котла, делающего Гавайи такими особенными. А живые выступления - это 'молния в бутылке', и для нас большая честь внести свой вклад в наследие этой музыки на Вайкики, и особенно в Halekulani.Игривый, заразительный и неотразимо танцевальный, этот альбом совсем не легковесен. Под его залитой солнцем поверхностью скрывается набор тщательно продуманных композиций, которые порой напоминают пышные оркестровки классических саундтреков к фильмам или смелые, яркие темы телевидения середины XX века. С альбомом Exotica Reborn WAITIKI 7 подтверждает важность этого стиля в музыкальной истории не только Гавайев, но и гарантирует, что её завораживающие ритмы будут продолжать захватывать и радовать слушателей во всем мире.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1830316473COBOP LIVES! - https://t.me/discor/7103Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a data-driven analysis of rap's historic absence from Billboard Hot 100's Top 40 for the first time since February 1990. On the week of October 25, 2025, no rap tracks cracked the upper echelon, ending a 35-year streak sparked by Biz Markie's "Just a Friend." Analytic Dreamz breaks down key stats: highest rap entry at #44 (YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Shot Callin"), #48 (Cardi B feat. Kehlani's "Safe"), and #49 (BigXthaPlug feat. Ella Langley's "Hell at Night"). Kendrick Lamar & SZA's "Luther" fell off after 46 weeks (13 at #1), triggered by Billboard's October 2025 recurrent rule changes—removing songs below #25 after 26 weeks (vs. old 25-week threshold below #10). Hip-hop's U.S. market share dropped from 30% peak in 2020 to 24% YTD 2025 per Luminate. Analytic Dreamz examines competition: Taylor Swift's album occupies 12 Top 40 spots, K-pop soundtracks claim 7. Additional factors include streaming biases, artist dormancy (Drake, Kendrick), legal issues, and genre fragmentation. As of November 1, the drought hits two weeks, with "Shot Callin" at #43. Analytic Dreamz explores cultural reactions and whether this signals rap's cyclical shift amid pop dominance.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions. This week back in 1990, the first rap song topped the chart. That got me wondering how many other firsts and other interesting facts surround the top spot. Here is a list."

https://www.ikp.meYoutubeSpotifyInstagramBio K.P. (The Infamous King of Positivity) is a first-generation Honduran American of Garifuna descent and a non-binary rapper and producer whose every move is intentional. From their stage name to their sonic palette, I.K.P. creates with layered purpose.Their latest single “FTW” is a high-voltage anthem built to energize your morning, fuel your workout, or soundtrack your world domination. The track's rattling drums and bass, combined with an eerie and dominant melody, drive a sense of urgency that perfectly matches I.K.P.'s electrifying performance.“I want them to feel unstoppable. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it for the win, and you'reundeniable,” they share.I.K.P.'s writing process is as fluid as it is instinctive. Sometimes they write with pen and pad, other times they record voice notes or use their phone's notes app.“Inspiration strikes in fragments or floods. As they say, you don't gotta get ready if you stay ready.”In a landscape where many artists cling to one sound, I.K.P. thrives in versatility. Whether it's boom bap, drill, reggae, or Latin rhythms, they co-produce and collaborate across styles, honoring Hip-Hop's hybrid roots and their own Afro-Caribbean heritage.“I gravitate towards a lot of things and I don't like to be in a box. I do a lot of co-producing with a multifaceted team. I love Hip-Hop so much because you can make all these hybrid styles make sense.”Their sonic range mirrors a life of movement and resilience. Raised in Norfolk, Virginia after their family emigrated from Honduras, I.K.P. also served over five years in the Marines. Growing up near Portsmouth, they drew early inspiration from Missy Elliott's boundary-breaking creativity.The name I.K.P. represents more than music. It embodies advocacy and empowerment. Their stage name was inspired by their mission to combat the stigma surrounding HIV-positive diagnoses and to use art as a tool for visibility and strength among marginalized communities.“I decided I wasn't going to let things that happened to me define how I saw the world. I wanted to show people who looked like me and lived like me that they could gain a sense of power. And if they didn't know how to do it for themselves, I could show them that it could be done.”I.K.P. also explores the intersection of rap, pop culture, and the evolving LGBTQIA+ experience, acknowledging both the progress and the challenges that remain. They reference artists like Kevin Abstract, Tyler The Creator, Lil Nas X, Young M.A, Steve Lacy, and Syd, trailblazers who continue to push the conversation forward.“It's about self-actualization. Whether you're Black, gay, and/or queer, you're often kept out of certain rooms and conversations. I want to show people that you can always take control and be free.”For I.K.P., rap is a ritual, a reflection of joy, pain, and transformation.“I want to continue to speak for those who feel like they don't have a voice or that their voice is being suppressed. Hip-Hop has always been a tool of progression and evolution, and I just want to continue that tradition,” they said.Their fanbase, affectionately known as #PozFriendlies, can expect a wave of new releases following the success of their fourth full-length project 11:11 | eleven eleven released in 2021. I.K.P. is also expanding their BLOCK SPINNINseries on TikTok and Instagram, a Stereogum-inspired chronicle exploring the history of Billboard Hot 100 hits.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

On today's all new episode of the cast, we take a look back at the Billboard Modern Rock Chart for the week ending October 31, 1998 and see what was popular on the chart around the time as we were getting ready for Halloween that year, and what artists and songs really mattered to use the most. We take a look at songs from the likes of Goo Goo Dolls, Eagle Eye Cherry, Hole, Barenaked Ladies, The Offspring, and so much more to provide an ultimate snapshot into such a eclectic and musically diverse lineup that checked all the boxes for me. We also talk about how the Billboard Hot 100 chart is aiming to prevent songs from overstaying their welcome on the charts and instituting a more tiered recurrent rule system that allows the chart to remain fresh and prevent songs from being oversaturated or overplayed, and keep the chart as current as possible.

We go back forty years to 1985, a landmark year in music history! We remember unforgettable hits that defined the decade and chart-toppers that still resonate today. In this Backtrack, we dive into the top songs from the 1985 Billboard Hot 100. (May contain some explicit language.)

Data does not just magically spring into existence. Someone, somewhere, has to decide what data gets created and the rules for its creation. We would claim that this often starts as a pretty simple exercise, and then, over time, that simplicity balloons to be pretty complex! What if, for instance, you decided to listen to every #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 going back to its inception in 1958? You may start by just capturing the song name, the artist, and the week(s) it was the #1 song. But, before you know it, you may find that you're adding in artist details…and songwriter details…and producer details…and genre details…and instrumentation details, and your dataset has 105 columns! But, oh, the questions that dataset could answer! And that's exactly the dataset that our guest for this episode, Chris Dalla Riva, created. He uses it (with a range of supplemental datasets) for his pieces in his Substack, Can't Get Much Higher, as well as the underlying raw material for his upcoming book, Uncharted Territory: What Numbers Tell Us about the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves. While the underlying material was music, the parallels to more staid business data were many when it comes to the underlying processes and challenges for doing that work! This episode's Measurement Bite from show sponsor Recast is an explanation of the miracle of randomization when it comes to addressing unobserved confounders from Michael Kaminsky!

Bad Bunny, known to many as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been at the center of both music and cultural news this week, fueled by recent events and ongoing headlines. In the past several days, his name surged again after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson criticized his selection as next year's Super Bowl halftime headliner, going as far as to call Bad Bunny a “terrible” choice and labeling him “not a good role model.” According to TMZ Live on October 8, this has reignited public debate and led to intense discourse across social media, especially in the wake of former president Donald Trump's earlier disparaging comments about the NFL's pick. Despite the backlash from certain political figures, TMZ's coverage highlights how Bad Bunny remains hugely popular with a diverse range of fans, with voices across the Latino community pushing back against the criticism and emphasizing his global influence.Also making waves was Bad Bunny's attendance at Yankee Stadium this week, where social media lit up after a video clip circulated of him and his entourage seated during “God Bless America” in the seventh inning stretch. Amid the patriotic moment, fans online split between supporting his right to remain seated and those calling out what they perceived as disrespectful. The moment sparked discussions throughout Twitter and TikTok, adding another layer to the ongoing debate around his growing role as a cultural lightning rod.On the music front, Bad Bunny continues to celebrate the success of his sixth solo album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” The album, released January 2025, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was described by the Lagos Review as his “most introspective project to date.” It blends reggaeton and house music while drawing heavily on traditional Puerto Rican sounds and themes of nostalgia and cultural identity. Songs like “Pitorro de Coco,” which was released as a holiday single, and the chart-dominating “DTMF” have resonated especially strongly with fans, bolstered by creative collaborations and a deeply reflective tone. Wikipedia notes that every track from the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100, making Bad Bunny the first Latin artist to achieve more than 100 separate entries on the chart—a testament to his continued reach and relevance.His “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency in San Juan's Coliseo during July through September brought in over 600,000 attendees and reportedly boosted the Puerto Rican economy by $250 million, according to Moody Analytics, with additional spending nearing $400 million. The success of this residency led straight into plans for the “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour,” set to kick off next month. Bad Bunny made headlines by specifically excluding U.S. cities from the tour due to concerns over ICE activity at large Latino gatherings, instead focusing on Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. His statement emphasized a decision motivated by care for his fans' safety, not animosity toward previous U.S. successes.Music sites and industry commentators have also been buzzing about glimpses of Bad Bunny's cameo in the new trailer for Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2,” a further example of his expanding global profile and pop culture crossovers.Thank you for tuning in, and make sure to come back next week for more on the biggest names and stories in music and culture.
