Taylor Swift topped the Billboard Hot 100 again!

This week on Classic Vinyl Podcast, Justin and Tyler listen to and review The Edgar Winter Group and Frankenstein. "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group is a groundbreaking 1973 instrumental rock single famous for its synthesizer riff and innovative tape-splicing construction. It was originally an extended jam session before being tightened into a 45 RPM edit that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Episode 109 kicks off with DJXP revealing to the other castmates that, after years of trial and error, experimentation, and exploring different content verticals, the podcast's YouTube channel has officially reached monetization by surpassing 4,000 watch hours within the last 365 days. While celebrating the milestone, the conversation turns reflective as they revisit the uncomfortable Episode 100 discussion where Trivelle and XP bumped heads over what it truly takes to build a successful podcast and the balance between passion, love, discipline, and dedication. Some concessions are made as they revisit that debate, while Trivelle introduces what he believes is the third ingredient necessary for success beyond skill and talent. From there, they pivot to Jay-Z responding to shots Drake sent his way on the critically acclaimed and commercially successful ICEMAN album, which has now spent its fourth week at #1. Jay-Z's response is compared to Drake's own reaction to Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" verse, with parallels drawn between the two chart-topping moments as Janice STFU continues its run atop the Billboard Hot 100. After discussing the recent downplaying of Jay-Z's career by stans and uninformed observers, the conversation naturally progresses to Taylor Swift joining Jay-Z as one of music's two richest figures. Taylor's billionaire status is particularly noteworthy because it is largely music-driven, a rarity in an industry where most artists accumulate wealth through a combination of music and outside investments. The group discusses the achievement and what it means for the business of music. Keeping things firmly in the pop culture lane, the guys then dive into their highly anticipated Summer House discussion, reacting to Parts 2 and 3 of the reunion for the house that Bravo built. Holding almost nothing back, they break down major moments involving Amanda, West, Ciara, and Kyle, discussing whether any real progress or accountability emerged from decisions that largely happened behind closed doors. Following the mega-conversation, XP introduces a series of fascinating relationship questions circulating on Reddit that tie directly and indirectly into many of the themes explored throughout the Summer House discussion, particularly around sex, infidelity, trust, and modern relationship expectations. Things take a more serious turn as the episode concludes with a discussion surrounding the recent verdict in the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf case. Welcome to the show.

Dust off your pagers and grab a Surge soda! This week, Dave and Rob are hopping into the time machine and dialing the coordinates to June 9th, 1996. The box office was dominated by Mission: Impossible, the Macarena was slowly taking over the planet, and the Billboard Hot 100 was a wild mix of legendary hip-hop, R&B royalty, alt-rock, and powerhouse vocalists What makes this specific week so legendary is the sheer, whiplash-inducing sonic contrast sharing real estate on the charts. It was a bizarre and beautiful era where the mournful, rapid-fire hip-hop harmonies of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and 2Pac's aggressive West Coast swagger sat side-by-side with the pristine, sweeping adult contemporary ballads of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Throw in the raw acoustic storytelling of Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette's alt-rock bite, and a rising, inescapable bilingual novelty dance craze like the Macarena, and you get a snapshot of a musical landscape that was wildly fragmented yet universally massive   Chapters 00:00 - Pagers, Surge, and the Macarena: Welcome to 1996 2:10 - Remembering Peabo Bryson and Our Influencer Status 4:07 - Graduating into 1996's Wildly Fragmented Music Scene 9:22 - Diving Into the Billboard Hot 100: Cuts & Honorable Mentions 13:15 - "5:00" by Nonchalant: A 90s Hip Hop Gem 18:36 - "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche: Eurodance 1996 22:11 - "Tres Delinquentes": West Coast Latin Rap's Breakthrough 26:37 - "Old Man and Me": Hootie's Underrated Sophomore Album 30:25 - Kicking Off our Best of 1996 Billboard Top 10 31:27 - Everclear's "Heart Spark Dollar Sign": An Interracial Love Story 35:00 - Coolio's "1,2,3,4": A Fun Summer Jam 38:57 - Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars": Mid-90s Post Grunge Classic 42:36 - Garbage's "Only Happy When It Rains": A 90s Rock Anthem 46:25 - Lenny Kravitz's "Can't Get You Off My Mind" 49:52 - Goo Goo Dolls "Name": A Chart-Topping Personal Ballad 57:13 - Brandy's "Sittin' Up In My Room": A Teen Infatuation Anthem 59:50 - The Tony Rich Project's "Nobody Knows": Country Crossover Hit 1:05:12 - Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason": A Bluesy Career Revitalizer 1:08:04 - Smashing Pumpkins' "1979": The Quintessential Gen X Song 1:10:08 - Snapple, Clearly Canadian, and Our 1996 Billboard List Review   Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3IEysWlUdIzxLhnrSmu1bx?si=DVgK8cegRq-FqwVtoZGlqQ  Apple:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-june-9th-1996/pl.u-76oN9NpFNz2Y05?ls Amazon: Click HERE to access the Amazon playlist for this episode   https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1996-06-15/   Connect with Totally 80s and 90s Recall  Website: https://bleav.com/shows/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com  Voicemail: (509) 426-4542  Linktree: https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The fastest way to time-travel is to press play on a song you haven't heard in years, then realize you still know every word. We pull up the Billboard Hot 100 from May 23, 1981 and take it for a spin, bouncing between classic rock, radio pop, and the kind of tracks that were simply unavoidable if you lived anywhere near a car stereo or a skating rink.Along the way, we dig into what's actually happening inside these hits: Billy Squier's “The Stroke” as a music business story, Santana's “Winning” as a case of “this does not sound like Santana,” and the emotional weight of George Harrison's “All Those Years Ago,” made even heavier by the Beatles connections around it. We also hit Tom Petty's “The Waiting,” Hall and Oates' “You Make My Dreams,” and the early MTV effect that turned songs into permanent memories, for better or worse.Then we get personal: a Jefferson Starship chorus becomes a full-on dinner-table bit, Rick Springfield's “Jessie's Girl” comes with a wild songwriting backstory, and REO Speedwagon's “Take It On The Run” gets a deep breakdown of why a vocal and a guitar solo can feel like one continuous emotional punch. We close out the chart with the weird brilliance of Stars on 45 and the long reign of Kim Carnes' “Bette Davis Eyes,” then jump to a modern live-music recap featuring Kevin Kinney, Peter Buck, and a surprise Mike Mills appearance, plus a quick Ramones spotlight and a final Van Halen 5150 tangent.If you love 1980s music, classic rock storytelling, and honest takes on music history, subscribe, and share this with a friend who lived through it.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

"CLARENCE CARTER SLIPS AWAY ON THE MYSTERY TRAIN"When we speak of the deep soul drenched days when certain performers inhabited a heart full of soul so captivating and special that they were ordained as high priests of mournful and lustful magic, we will always recall Soul legend Clarence Carter.Clarence boarded The Mystery Train today, May 14, following struggles with prostate cancer and a battle with pneumonia and sepsis. He was 90.This  blind Southern star from Alabama scored two Top 10 hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s with “Slip Away” and “Patches,” After having hits on the R&B charts (including 1965's “Step By Step” and 1967's “Tell Daddy”), Carter landed on the pop charts – as well as, concurrently, the R&B lists – with 1968's “Slip Away,” a song that highlighted Carter's powerful and emotional baritone voice with a lyric in which the singer implores his married lover for a secret rendezvous Two years later Carter released his biggest pop hit, the Grammy-winning (for Best R&B song) “Patches,” which rose to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mr. Carter also recorded a number of raunchy novelty songs eschewed by mainstream radio but finding success in later years: The 1968 “Back Door Santa” was sampled by Run-D.M.C. for the 1987 single “Christmas in Hollis,” and the even more explicit “Strokin'” from 1986 was featured on the soundtrack for Eddie Murphy's 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor as well as in William Friedkin's 2011 film Killer Joe.Sleep Well Clarence. The first of the six covers that appear on Please Please Me is a mid-tempo ballad called “Anna (Go to Him),” which was written and first recorded by Arthur Alexander. Chances are that most people who hear the version sung by John Lennon have no idea who Arthur Alexander is—but the Beatles certainly knew, and so did the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan: Alexander is reportedly the only songwriter whose tunes have appeared on studio albums by those three hallowed acts. Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs as well—albeit one that Alexander co-wrote—and so did Otis Redding and Tina Turner and Jerry Lee Lewis and Percy Sledge.Don Covay  recorded for several labels, including Blaze, Sue, Big Top, Fire, Arnold, Fleetwood, Columbia, Epic and Scepter, releasing 'Popeye Waddle' b/w 'One Little Boy Had Money' in 1962 for Cameo Parkway, which became a hit.Don was, by now, recording solo material, and material under the name of Don Covay and the Goodtimers.He penned the U.S. number 1 single 'Pony Time' for Chubby Checker, wrote a hit song called 'I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You', for the Soul singer Solomon Burke, and wrote for Gladys Knight & The Pips, penning 'Letter Full of Tears', which made the top 20.Don formed partnerships with several associates including Horace Ott and Ronnie Miller.In 1964, when he signed to the Rosemart label.His debut single there with the Goodtimers, 'Mercy Mercy' featured Jimi Hendrix on guitar.The following year, Jimi Hendrix played again on the follow up single 'Take This Hurt Off Me' b/w 'Please Don't Let Me Know'.Clarence Carter didn't have it easy while growing up in Alabama; and being Black and blind was an extra burden, but he has overcome many other obstacles in so many ways. “I feel incredibly good about what I've been able to accomplish, but it was not easy. Our world presents challenges and barriers to success for people with disabilities, but I always wanted more in life and believe that the ADA helped me get to where I am today.”I would like to say that Carter now has three “B's” behind his name, Black, Blind and Blessed. Carter is known for serious Blues music, which includes a string of R&B hits. The songs “Back Door Santa,” “Slip Away,” “Patches,” “Too Weak to Fight” and the dance hall hit “Strokin” are part of his Blues legacy.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the massive commercial impact of the 2026 Michael Jackson biopic on the King of Pop's catalog, with a focused look at the song “Human Nature.”Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael, the film hit theaters on April 24, 2026. It delivered a record-breaking opening for a music biopic, with domestic previews of $12.6 million and projections pushing toward an $85M–$95M+ U.S. weekend — surpassing Straight Outta Compton's $60M debut. Global opening estimates reached $140M–$150M+, fueled by a trailer that racked up 116.2 million views in its first 24 hours.“Human Nature,” from the 1982 Thriller album and released as a single in 1983, peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Adult Contemporary. It earned Platinum certification in the U.S. (1 million units) and has accumulated roughly 310–312 million lifetime streams on Spotify, positioning it as a deep cut with remarkable longevity. The track has inspired over 20 samples and numerous covers.The Michael: Songs from the Motion Picture soundtrack, released alongside the film, bundles 13 classic tracks including “Human Nature,” “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Thriller.” A new official “Human Nature” video mixing archival footage with modern dance dropped on release day. Post-release, the song climbed to #55 on the UK iTunes Top Songs chart, while “Billie Jean” surged nearly 100 positions. The soundtrack quickly entered the UK Top 10, and Michael Jackson's Spotify monthly listeners held strong at 68–69 million, with catalog streams showing significant daily spikes from trailer exposure, film scenes, and marketing.Analytic Dreamz examines the mechanisms behind the surge — trailer power, on-screen performances, soundtrack synergy, nostalgia, and cross-generational discovery — alongside broader catalog economics. The Michael Jackson estate earned approximately $105 million in 2025, with 2026 projections pointing to a major uplift from box office success, streaming gains, and soundtrack sales. Despite the film's mixed critical reception (39% on Rotten Tomatoes), its commercial momentum has driven immediate catalog resurgence, elevating “Human Nature” from deep cut to featured rediscovery track.This segment delivers data-driven analysis on short-term sales and streaming spikes, mid-term playlist longevity, and the strategic value of the film in reinforcing Michael Jackson's enduring catalog as a high-value asset.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Analytic Dreamz covers DaBaby's background, from his 2019 breakout with Baby on Baby and Kirk to major hits including “Suge,” “Bop,” and the chart-topping “Rockstar” with Roddy Ricch, as well as the career challenges following 2021 controversies. The discussion analyzes the song's Southern hip-hop and trap sound, fast-paced high-energy beat, sexually explicit club-focused lyrics, and more subdued vocal delivery compared to his traditional aggressive flow.This episode delivers detailed performance metrics including the track's #59 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 — DaBaby's highest-charting song in approximately five years — along with approximately 37 million Spotify streams by early April 2026. Analytic Dreamz examines the song's role as a promotional driver for the album, its TikTok virality through dance challenges and user-generated content, club and strip club rotation, music video impact, remix culture, and its strategic importance as a comeback record built primarily on streaming, digital consumption, and social platform momentum.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
