Hit Parade | Music History and Music Trivia

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 13, 2025 54:55


In the rarefied world of smash pop singles, there are No. 1s—and there are No. 1 debuts. Entering Billboard's Hot 100 at the top is one of the hardest tricks in music. In fact, it wasn't possible in the U.S. until 1995. That's when the record labels hacked the Hot 100 and figured out how to send new singles straight into the chart penthouse.  But scoring a No. 1 in Week One doesn't mean it's built to last. For every enduring hit like “Fantasy,” “Shake It Off” or “Hello,” there are plenty of one-off oddities, coronation pabulum from American Idol finalists, and even a few missteps from chart luminaries. Within a couple of years these fast-breaking hits may be forgotten—never to be spun on the radio or streamed on Spotify. Join Chris Molanphy as he explores the chart calculus, superfan interventions, and fluky conditions that create a perfect storm of pop-chart insta-success. It's a parade of pop bangers that scored a fast pass to the front of the line. Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

Wir beginnen eine neue, die inzwischen fünfte Staffel von "Listen!" mit einer Folge über das Glück. Denn es ist auch die 49. Folge, und 49 Felder hat ein Lottoschein, wie zumindest Torsten aus eigener Erfahrung weiß. Glück braucht man beim Lotto eine Menge, und gleichzeitig empfinden wir es als großes Glück, dass wir mit diesem Podcast nun schon ins fünfte Jahr starten! In der neuen Staffel wird es ein paar Neuerungen geben, weil wir etwas mehr Geld ausgeben und dadurch ab sofort pro Folge eine zusätzliche Minute Musik spielen dürfen. Das kostet und monatlich wesentlich weniger als ein Lottoschein, und was wir daraus machen, werdet ihr im Laufe der Folge erfahren. Zu hören gibt es in dieser Folge Musik von Easy Listening bis New Wave und, äh, von New Wave bis Bossa Nova. Ausgesuchte Hintergrundinfos sind natürlich wie immer inklusive, und wer wissen will, wie die Gender Pay Gap Ehen zerstört und was es mit einer speziellen Hitparade für ehemalige Stars auf sich hat, sollte sich diese Folge nicht entgehen lassen!

Sped-up voices. Wacky instruments. Songs about cavemen, bathtubs, bikinis, and mothers-in-law. From the dawn of rock ‘n' roll through the 1970s—the age of streaking, CB radios, disco and King Tut—novelty songs could be chart-topping hits. But by the corporate '80s, it was harder for goofballs to score hits on regimented radio playlists. Until one perm-headed, mustachioed, accordion-playing parodist who called himself “Weird” rebooted novelty hits for the new millennium.  In the second part of this encore episode of Hit Parade, Chris Molanphy explores the history of novelty hits on the charts.

Sped-up voices. Wacky instruments. Songs about cavemen, bathtubs, bikinis and mothers-in-law. From the very birth of rock-and-roll, novelty songs were essential elements of the hit parade. Right through the '70s—the age of streaking, CB radios, disco and King Tut—novelty songs could be chart-topping hits. But by the corporate '80s, it was harder for goofballs to score round-the-clock hits on regimented radio playlists. Until one perm-headed, mustachioed, accordion-playing parodist who called himself “Weird” rebooted novelty hits for the new millennium.

Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars.

The Kendrick vs. Drake beef echoes legendary rap rivalries like Biggie vs. Tupac and Jay-Z vs. Nas—but diss tracks stretch back through a century of American pop to the Tin Pan Alley era. Vaudeville singer Eddie Cantor, James Brown, John Lennon, Carly Simon, Kool Moe Dee, Lauryn Hill, and countless other artists have all tapped the hitmaking power of a personal grudge.

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy: Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan. It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Less well known is the saga of Billboard's Modern Rock chart—and how college-rock staples of the 1980s like R.E.M. and The Cure gave way to heavier, more commercially dominant groups of the ‘90s like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and The Smashing Pumpkins. What sparked the grungification of the charts? How did Modern Rock become the new Top 40? And how did the Seattle sound pave the way for post-grunge bands like Sublime, Third Eye Blind, and even Creed?
