After breakout mixtape Donny Womack (2018), Astroworld feature on "Can't Say," viral "No Idea" (#43 Hot 100 peak), and hits like "Lemonade," OCTANE follows Hardstone Psycho (2024) with 18 tracks including "E85," "Body" (sampling Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" with Travis Scott co-production), "Rendezvous" (ft. Yeat), "Secondhand" (ft. Rema), "Tiramisu," and "ATM." Early buzz highlights the nostalgic Timberlake flip, visualizers, and high-energy, experimental production inspired by LA drives and creative immersion.With no chart data yet on release day, Toliver's streaming momentum positions OCTANE for strong Billboard Hot 100 and R&B impact, echoing prior successes.Adding to the momentum, Don Toliver headlines Summerfest 2026's American Family Insurance Amphitheater on June 19 in Milwaukee—his first time headlining the world's largest music festival—with special guests SahBabii, Che, SoFayGo, sosocamo, Chase B, and Lelo.

A data firm analysed 25 years of Billboard Hot 100 lyrics and confirmed what we've all been feeling—pop music is getting way sadder and angstier. They tracked moods like heartbreak, joy, angst and love across thousands of songs, and tracks invoking angst and heartbreak are dominating the charts now (hello Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, and Die With A Smile). Love songs are still hanging in there, but here's the kicker: "despair" started spiking sharply after 2020. Apparently the pandemic really said let's make everything a vibe check, and pop music took notes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Totally 80s and 90s Recall

The week of January 27th, 1986 found the Billboard Hot 100 glowing like a neon strip of American pop confidence. Radio and record stores were in lockstep, and the charts reflected a nation humming along to big hooks and bigger personalities. Bruce Springsteen was still flying the blue collar flag high, Dire Straits proved that sophisticated guitar rock could dominate mainstream ears, and The Cars continued to fuse new wave cool with arena sized melodies. These were songs built for car stereos, shopping malls, and late night countdown shows, polished just enough to feel timeless but still crackling with mid-80s energy. Now, forty years later, Dave and Rob rewind the tape to revisit a chart that felt less like a list and more like a cultural snapshot. Mr. Mister's sleek, keyboard driven anthems floated alongside guitar heroes and synth architects, all competing for the same precious real estate on radios across America. Album sales mattered, airplay mattered, and the Hot 100 became the scoreboard where it all converged. This week in 1986 reminds us of an era when songs didn't just chart, they camped out in your head for months, becoming the soundtrack to daily life and the echoes that still follow us decades later Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1DJLbXKYb7yszYsV5h2qxm?si=yPbFNi4RSOKjaCNBS4_h8A    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-jan-27-1986/pl.u-mJy89J4tB1e07X?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/b4dcac20ba434d9480532b1c4fea6daasune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Yybw4IcSjS0eml0R1a7N4mRB9 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com   LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

In this episode, special co-host Diana Yáñez and Sweet Miche explore the concept of belonging, not just to each other, but to all of existence. From the linguistic wisdom of the Aymara people to the radical call of liberation theology and the hard work of healing Quaker involvement in Indian Boarding Schools, we're asking what might happen to our faith if we start living from the "We" instead of the "I"? Jiwasa: The Communal We with Rubén Hilari Quispe  Rubén, an Aymara Quaker and linguist, introduces us to jiwasa – a concept of "we-ness" that includes humans, the environment, and even the objects around us. He invites us to sit with the unsettled feeling of language that doesn't center the individual. Read Rubén's article, "Jiwasa, the Communal We" in the January 2026 issue of Friends Journal or at FriendsJournal.org. You can hear an extended interview in Spanish with English subtitles at the Friends Journal YouTube page.  Liberation Theology and the Inner Light with Renzo Carranza  Guatemalan Friend Renzo Carranza explores how the Quaker Inner Light intersects with the radical tradition of liberation theology. Together, they form a call to action: to reinterpret the gospels from the perspective of the marginalized and transform society. Watch the full QuakerSpeak video, “Transforming the SPIRIT: Liberation Theology and the Inner Light” at QuakerSpeak.com. Collective Relationship and Boarding Schools with Rachel Overstreet  Rachel Overstreet (Choctaw Nation) discusses the history of Quaker Indian boarding schools. She suggests that the way forward isn't through individual guilt, but through collective relationship. Read Rachel's article, “Speaking with Friends About Indian Boarding Schools” in the January 2026 issue of Friends Journal or at FriendsJournal.org. Rachel writes the Native American Legislative Update, a monthly newsletter on the most important developments on Capitol Hill related to Indian Country. You can also write your Congressperson to cosponsor and pass the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act. Find out more at fcnl.org/issues/native-americans. Book Review: Chooch Helped  Katie Green reviews a charming children's book by Andrea L. Rogers and Rebecca Lee Koons (Cherokee Nation) that celebrates present-day Cherokee family life and love. Read Katie's review of Chooch Helped in the January 2026 issue or at FriendsJournal.org. Recommended Resources by Indigenous Creators Jonny Appleseed (Novel) By Joshua Whitehead (they/them) A beautifully fragmented story about a Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer person navigating life in Winnipeg. The title ironically reclaims a settler-colonial myth to tell a raw story of modern Indigenous identity. Coyote & Crow (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) Created by a team of over 30 Indigenous creators Set in an "Indigenous Futurism" world where the Americas were never colonized. This RPG focuses on community, advanced technology, and spirits in a world where history took a different path. Drama & Performance The Thanksgiving Play (Play) By Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota Nation) A biting, hilarious satire that made history as the first play by a Native American woman on Broadway. It follows four well-meaning white people trying to create a "politically correct" Thanksgiving play for a school. The Rez Sisters (Play) By Tomson Highway (Cree) A modern classic of Indigenous drama. It tells the story of seven women on a reserve who dream of winning "the biggest bingo game in the world." It's a powerful blend of humor, tragedy, and the supernatural. Mary Kathryn Nagle: Land Sovereignty and Indigenous Women's Rights (Podcast/Interview) Produced by Peterson Toscano for Citizens Climate Radio A deep-dive conversation with Cherokee playwright and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle. She discusses how her plays, like Sovereignty and Manahatta, serve as "living law," using the stage to advocate for tribal jurisdiction and the safety of Indigenous women. Music & Audio Come and Get Your Love (Song) By Redbone The 1974 hit that made Redbone the first Native American band to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. Forged (Podcast) CBC Listen / Host: Adrian Stimson A gripping series exploring a massive art fraud ring involving the works of Norval Morrisseau, the "Picasso of the North." Literature & Thought Sacred Instructions (Book) By Sherri Mitchell (Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset) A roadmap for "spirit-based change" drawing on Penobscot ancestral wisdom to address modern crises. Dr. Lyla June Johnston (Scholar & Musician) A Diné (Navajo) and Cheyenne artist whose work blends hip-hop with traditional acoustics and ecological activism. Digital Culture & Media Trixie Mattel: Root Maintenance (Video/Q&A) The world-famous drag queen discusses her biracial Ojibwe heritage and navigating identity in the public eye. Rez Ball (Film) Produced by LeBron James and Sterlin Harjo A 2024 film following a Navajo high school basketball team, capturing the unique, fast-paced style of "Rezball." Next Month's Question A central part of Quakerism is our commitment to peace. But that doesn't mean we should avoid conflict. In fact, it means we have a specific responsibility to it.

Verbal Diorama is a podcast all about How It's Done. It being movies, and to be honest, this one is as Golden as they come. I'm Free to Takedown the history and legacy of Kpop Demon Hunters, with the outcome of me becoming Your Idol. This is What It Sounds Like... my little Soda Pop.When director Maggie Kang set out to create an animated musical combining K-pop, Korean mythology, and a demon-slaying girl group, she had a clear vision: to make a film authentically rooted in Korean culture. After more than a decade working on major animated projects, Kang pitched what she called her "love letter to K-pop" and her Korean heritage to Sony Pictures Animation. The result was KPop Demon Hunters, a film that would go on to become a global phenomenon that no-one saw coming.The film's success exceeded all expectations. KPop Demon Hunters became Netflix's most-watched film ever with over 500 million views, surpassing even Squid Game. The soundtrack made history as the first film soundtrack to place four songs in the Billboard Hot 100's top ten simultaneously, with lead single "Golden" holding the number one spot for eight weeks. The song earned five Grammy nominations, and songwriter EJAE became the first Korean American woman nominated for Song of the Year.KPop Demon Hunters represents a significant evolution in the Korean Wave. Created by a largely non-Korean production team in America, the film nonetheless maintained deep cultural authenticity, from its references to Korean girl groups of the past, and to Korean shamanism, to the small details like how characters use their chopsticks. It combines vibrant animation with KPop culture, creating a unique visual and audible feast. The soundtrack is not just catchy; it's Golden.Play me on repeat 끝없이 in your head.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode? Here's how you can help:⭐ Leave a 5-star review on your podcast app

She began songwriting at age 10, went viral on TikTok in 2022 with covers and originals, dropped out of school at 16 to pursue music full-time, and built early momentum with singles like “Maybe” (#75 UK Singles Chart, 2024) and her 2025 EP.Co-written by Spiro with Omer Fedi, Michael Pollack, and Blake Slatkin, the piano-led ballad—sparked by a Bohemian Rhapsody-inspired piano mistake—features cinematic strings by Rob Moose and explores stubborn love, emotional entrapment, and toxic relationships with raw vulnerability and dramatic structure.

After her 2024 project Hungover (and deluxe Still Hungover) and the 2× Platinum CMA multi-award-winning duet “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green, Langley solidifies her solo rise with this co-write featuring Miranda Lambert (on co-writing, background vocals, and co-production with Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor).“Choosin' Texas” delivers upbeat Southern grit, heartfelt themes of lost love to a “Texas woman,” and confident storytelling inspired by Lambert's personal tales. Debuted live in February 2025 and performed at the 2025 CMA Awards, the track exploded organically through touring, fan engagement, TikTok/Shazam traction, and radio momentum—no major media syncs required.Chart dominance as of January 2026 includes: #1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs (first career No. 1), fastest solo female climb to Top 10 Country Airplay this decade (8 weeks, breaking records), #1 on UK Country Airplay for multiple weeks, #1 on Apple Music Country, and #1 Best Country Song of 2025 on Spotify/Billboard.

BeatBoy provides bass-heavy, party-oriented trap production with low-visibility underground roots.The explicit track dives into hedonism, nightlife, substances (keta, popper, LSD, nitro), luxury (Mansory Tesla, Johnny Dang diamonds), sex, and street bravado with aggressive, raw delivery tailored to Mexican urbano/trap scenes. Lyrics emphasize “puro pase y toque” repetition, blending braggadocio and party energy without mainstream polish.No music video, radio airplay, or major chart entries (Billboard Hot 100, Hot Latin Songs absent as of January 2026). Growth relies on Spotify/Apple Music streams, fan-made playlists (some with thousands of saves), and niche X/TikTok buzz in Latino communities. Pre-release “filtrada” versions sparked discussion, but explicit content caps algorithmic/radio push.Analytic Dreamz analyzes its niche traction: limited editorial support, no visuals or viral catalysts yet, but tied to Mendivil's rising street credibility post-Rico o Muerto signing. Upside hinges on label investment, potential TikTok uptake in Mexican subcultures, or future remixes—positioning it as early momentum for an emerging Mexican rap voice rather than immediate breakout.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven look at an authentic underground release reinforcing Victor Mendivil's ascent in 2025-2026 urbano rap.

1984 (stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984.[2] It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences. This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (Van Halen brothers, Roth, and Michael Anthony), although they reunited briefly in 2000 to start work on what would much later become 2012's A Different Kind of Truth.[3] Roth returned in 2007, but Eddie's son Wolfgang replaced Anthony in 2006.[2] 1984 and Van Halen's debut are Van Halen's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies in the United States.[4] 1984 was well received by music critics. Rolling Stone ranked the album number 81 on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s. It reached number two on the Billboard 200 and remained there for five weeks, kept off the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller, on which guitarist Eddie Van Halen made a guest performance. 1984 produced four singles, including "Jump", Van Halen's only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100; the top-20 hits "Panama" and "I'll Wait"; and the MTV favorite "Hot for Teacher". The album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1999, signifying ten million shipped copies in the U.S. 1984 track listing Side one No. Title Length 1.

The Billboard Hot 100 has been ranking the week's most popular music since 1958. The first song to top the chart was Ricky Nelson's Poor Little Fool. The most recent song to do so is Taylor Swift's The Fate of Ophelia. A lot has changed in the music industry between those two songs, not only in the types of songs that top the charts, but also in how they're promoted and how they're determined. A new book explores the statistics behind the Hot 100, and it's the focus of this episode of Stats + Stories with guest Chris Dalla Riva.

pWotD Episode 3156: Chris Rea Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 678,268 views on Monday, 22 December 2025 our article of the day is Chris Rea.Christopher Anton Rea ( REE-ə; 4 March 1951 – 22 December 2025) was an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Known for his distinctive voice and his slide guitar playing, Rea recorded 25 studio albums, two of which topped the UK Albums Chart: The Road to Hell in 1989 and its successor, Auberge, in 1991. He had already become "a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with the single "The Road to Hell (Part 2)". His many hit songs included "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", "Stainsby Girls", "Josephine", "On the Beach", "Let's Dance", "Driving Home for Christmas", "Working on It", "Tell Me There's a Heaven", "Auberge", and "Julia". He also recorded a duet with Elton John, "If You Were Me". He was nominated for the Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Over the course of his long career, Rea's work had at times been informed by his struggles with serious health issues, which in the early 2000s influenced his change from rock to blues music style, releasing studio albums on his independent record label Jazzee Blue, such as Dancing Down the Stony Road (2002) and 11-CD Blue Guitars (2005).Rea never toured the United States, where he was best known for the 1978 single "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", which reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, earning him a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1978. A decade later, "Working On It" topped the Mainstream Rock chart. He sold more than 40 million records worldwide.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:39 UTC on Tuesday, 23 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Chris Rea on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

Por mucho que fuera la primera canción a Capella en llegar al número uno en la lista de los Billboard Hot 100 en los Estados Unidos, y por mucho que mantuviera esa posición varias semanas, ¿cómo no vamos a preocuparnos por el día de mañana en un mundo como el nuestro? ¿Cómo no angustiarnos por el día de mañana si los análisis médicos son preocupantes, si el trabajo es inseguro o si las finanzas no nos llegan para terminar el mes?Veamos. Una cosa es preocuparnos y creo que como cristianos responsables debemos ocuparnos seriamente de nuestro futuro y del de nuestra familia, y otra cosa es angustiarnos. Jesús da por sentado que antes de lanzarnos a un proyecto debemos calcular el costo y no emprender aquello que no podemos asumir: «¿Quién de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no se sienta primero y calcula los gastos, a ver si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla? No sea que, después que haya puesto el cimiento, no pueda acabarla y todos los que lo vean comiencen a hacer burla de él, diciendo: "Este hombre comenzó a edificar y no pudo acabar"» (Luc. 14: 28-30).Angustiarnos es otra cosa. Angustiarnos es dejar que el miedo nos domine. Es perder la serenidad y la confianza en un Dios que promete estar siempre a nuestro lado. La angustia es como esa bola de nieve que, cuando vivíamos cerca de los Alpes, algunos niños lanzaban a la deriva, y que, si no se detenía a tiempo, cada vez se hacía más grande y era capaz de enterrarnos en una avalancha. Para detenerla al principio bastaba pararla con el pie, pero si se la dejaba crecer y tomar velocidad podía ser incalculablemente destructiva.Pablo nos dice casi lo mismo en otras palabras: «Por nada estéis angustiados, sino sean conocidas vuestras peticiones delante de Dios en toda oración y ruego, con acción de gracias. Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, guardará vuestros corazones y vuestros pensamientos en Cristo Jesús» (Fil. 4: 6-7).Señor, en estos tiempos de angustia, dame tu paz. Muéstrame cómo puedo superar los desafíos que tengo que enfrentar hoy y ayúdame a irradiar esa serenidad en mi entorno inmediato.

Great Scott, Slackers!Travel back to 1985, the absolute sweet spot of Gen X goodness. Holy cow, 1985 was pretty freaking good when it comes to TV, movies, and music!Television: Who ruled Thursday nights? Which new shows instantly became appointment viewing, and which now-iconic series launched that year?Box Office: The highest-grossing films of 1985 delivered time-traveling DeLoreans, Saturday detention, and one very Italian stallion with not one, but two huge hits. Billboard Hot 100: From synth-pop anthems to power ballads and surprising one-hit wonders, these are songs that I can clearly remember blasting from my transistor radio while mowing the lawn.Looking back it was a pretty glorious year. Anyone else have their first "official" date in 1985? I know I did!

The original album, released September 19, 2025, serves as the highly anticipated follow-up to her Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy and already features heavyweights like Summer Walker, Selena Gomez, Kehlani, Lizzo, Cash Cobain, Janet Jackson, and Tyla.This Snow Edition delivers three versions of the DJ SwanQo-produced “ErrTime”: the previously released Latto remix, a fresh Jeezy verse, and the ultimate combo with both Atlanta icons. Jeezy opens the Snow Mix with a nostalgic 2000s trap verse packed with signature ad-libs, boasting lines like “Black Brad Pitt,” charging “10 bricks” per show, and clever references to his September 2025 Gangsta Grillz: Still Snowin' project. His smooth criminal flow (“Slow and smooth ass criminal, Teddy P, Easy E…”) perfectly complements Cardi's mission to “make the club fun again.”Originally peaking at No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ranking No. 5 on Atlanta's October strip club chart, the Snow Mix is poised to dominate Dallas and Atlanta clubs this winter—especially with Cardi's Little Miss Drama Tour kicking off in Dallas next year. Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this strategic drop keeps Am I the Drama? hot, reinforces Cardi B's unstoppable momentum while pregnant, and marks Jeezy's triumphant return to classic snowman trap energy.Bardi Gang is eating—the streets and the clubs are too.

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
