And in 1972, Elton John told a timeless tale of a blue-jean baby, a “Tiny Dancer.” Casey Kasem never counted it down.Today on Hit Parade: Chris Molanphy celebrates “near misses”—now-ubiquitous hits that missed the mark on the pop charts, stalling out at No. 2, No. 11, or No. 41. In this episode, Chris zooms in on near-misses from the 1970s, including songs from Paul McCartney, the Spinners, Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, and Michael Jackson.

The opening riff of “White Wedding” is instantly recognizable—a skittering, syncopated guitar line quickly swallowed by pummeling drums. But the song itself is a bit of an enigma. Is it rock? Pop? New wave? Rockabilly punk? Like much of Billy Idol's career, the song exists somewhere in between. Idol was a shape-shifter, blurring genre lines in pursuit of bigger hooks, bigger audiences and, eventually, pop stardom.Raised near London and running with the Sex Pistols' inner circle, Idol arrived with genuine punk bona fides. But with the rise of MTV and the explosion of new wave, he refashioned himself as the bleach-blond, leather-clad rock crooner who sneered his way to the top of the charts.Join Chris Molanphy as he traces the rise, reinvention and Rock Hall canonization of an original MTV icon.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

Donna Summer was a hit-maker for two decades and a dance floor deity for more than three. Her collaborations with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte were formative in dance, electronic, and rock music, influencing everyone from David Bowie and Blondie to Madonna and Moby. But the rock establishment was stinting in its appreciation—whether at Comiskey Park in Chicago in 1979 or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the 2000s. In Part 2 of this encore episode from 2017, Chris Molanphy examines how Summer became the queen of disco … and then transcended that role altogether.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

What happens when the next generation walks into the studio and immediately tries to replace the hosts of the number-one morning show in St. Louis?Absolute chaos.In this episode of The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast, Rizz brings his son and a crew of high-school juniors into the studio to show them what actually happens behind the scenes of a radio show. The teens immediately pitch the idea of kicking the hosts off the air and running the show themselves… which, honestly, might've been the boldest business plan we've heard all week.Of course, their pitch for content was… let's say “a work in progress.” The big idea? Talking about movies. Just… movies. No notes, no plan, just vibes.But things get interesting when the show turns into a full-blown Battle of the Generations music trivia game. The kids bring a playlist of songs they swear are huge right now. The adults attempt to identify them without sounding like confused parents asking, “Is this the mumble rap?”Shockingly, the crew does pretty well. They identify artists like Travis Scott and even pull off a miraculous Migos guess that honestly stunned everyone in the room.Then the tables turn.The teenagers have to identify songs from the Rizz Show era — and suddenly they're facing Nirvana, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, Blink-182, OutKast, and Green Day. Turns out the kids know way more about older music than anyone expected… which leads to one of the most surprisingly competitive music trivia battles the studio has seen.Along the way the teens roast the hosts about their age, the crew debates what actually counts as “old,” and the entire room realizes that modern playlists now include everything from David Bowie to modern hip-hop.Basically: teenagers walked into the studio thinking they were going to take over the show… and left with Pointfest tickets and a slightly higher opinion of 90s music.This episode of the comedy podcast is packed with generational roasting, music trivia chaos, and proof that the kids might actually be alright.If you've ever argued about music with someone 20 years younger (or older) than you, this episode will feel very familiar.And slightly humbling.Enjoy this episode of The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast, where the kids may not run the studio yet… but they're definitely getting closer.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

These days, country and pop acts regularly invade each other's territory. But in Nashville during the 1970s, “crossover” was a dirty word. Then came two rising stars who offered up a new hybrid of Americana-style pop.John Denver infused his folk balladry with homespun lyrics about country roads and wide-open skies. Olivia Newton-John sang over twangy melodies that belied her British-Australian roots. Both faced backlash—especially when they started topping the country and pop charts simultaneously and winning prizes that used to go to Nashville legends.Eventually, both artists outgrew country music. Denver became a ubiquitous entertainer and beloved Muppet wingman. Newton-John dazzled in the film Grease, then reinvented herself as a leather-clad siren unafraid to get physical.Join Chris Molanphy as he traces the parallel rise of two country-pop titans from the Rocky Mountains to Xanadu.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!
