Billboard Hot 100 Highlights July 21st, 2018

...tøp. Highlights.

Every Song on Billboard's 2008 Year End List Scored

2008. A year. I had fun revisiting this year. Click here for the worst list and here for the best list.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights July 14th, 2018

Once again this is late because I was working on a video that had nothing to do with Drake. So now, a post that has something to do with Drake. Hooray. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights July 7th, 2018

Once again delayed, but this time because I was out of town on Tuesday. But again, better late than never. At least I'm getting it done before the storm of Scorpion next week. That will be fuuuuuuuuun. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights June 30th, 2018

Yep. It's late. Several days late. I spent time working on a video instead of doing this because of complications in editing, and also...X. Just...Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights June 23rd, 2018

I would have to guess this will be a negligible week on the Hot 100 long term. At least I hope. Cause this wasn't a very good week. And I don't see the album bomb we got as very sustainable. But we'll see. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights June 16th, 2018

And then there was Ye. I'll have some things to talk about with the album as we get farther down, but before that, we have a turbulent week to get through. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights June 9th, 2018

I'm a couple days late and I'm sorry. Personal life stuff got in the way and general apathy also got in the way. But it's here now. Also worth noting is that, at least for the time being, I'm not gonna be giving a ranking section for these posts. If you're curious for my take on a song, ask me on Twitter, but with how I mostly consume music in my car these days, it's hard for me to come up with 3-4 sentences for songs that I won't remember exist in a few days. Sorry. But I do have an idea of what to replace them with. Anyway, highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights June 2nd, 2018

I was considering just not doing this because I felt incredibly tired earlier this evening. I just don't have time for this anymore. At least it feels that way sometimes. I don't know how Mark manages to do this every week. But, I'm here. Busy week. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights May 26, 2018

Gonna be honest. These last few weeks I've been pretty burnt out putting together Highlights. I don't know how Mark does this on a weekly basis in video format. I've been thinking about ways this could fit my content better. Maybe just axing the opinions section. Kinda spoils stuff when I talk about songs in video format. But I know some of you would be upset if I did that. We'll see. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights May 19th, 2018

Okay it's Childish Gambino, and I have a number 1 hit now. Holy crap This Is America was popular. But did it deserve it? We'll find out later. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights May 12th, 2018

This is much later than I was hoping to get this out, but real life intervened repeatedly. This is why I listen to these songs in my car now. Also the album art for Beerbongs and Bentleys is crap. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights May 5th, 2018

We're not free of the album bombs yet. Then again no one thought we were. And of course we got Post Malone crashing in next week. For now, let's just deal with this guy as well as some other things. And Ariana Grande. Also fun fact, the date of this chart is my mom's birthday. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 28, 2018

Well, guess we had to have some sort of a breather week in between the Cardi B Album bomb and the upcoming J. Cole album bomb. And what we got was a week that's actually not that bad. Seriously. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 21, 2018

And the album bombs keep coming. But in this case the album that's bombing in is actually alright. plus Drake gets unseated by...Drake. This is gonna be a busy week. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 14, 2018

Welcome back, The Weeknd. Your EP is.......an EP. We'll get to that later. In the meantime, we have a somewhat diverse week ahead of us. Highlights.

Every Song on Billboard's 2007 Year End List Scored

Wow, I'm not timely with these, am I? My 2007 videos came out a while ago, so here you go. Every song on that year end rated from 0-5. You wanna watch the videos? Here they are: Worst, Best

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 7, 2018

Looks like we got a bit of a lighter week after the album bombs? I'm all for it. Especially when most of the songs are decent. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 31, 2018

Well, looks like we're not getting as much X as anticipated, right? Heh...Highlights.

Also, I won't be giving thoughts on returning entries from this point forward.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 24, 2018

So, this week I'm trying something different. I'm listening to these songs on my way to work, hours before this post comes out. Hopefully this will help me save time and get a little more familiar with these songs so I can talk about them better. Hopefully it goes well. Though with a Logic album bomb and a mini-bomb from Lil Yachty, I feel like it can only go so well. Sigh...highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 17th, 2018

X...Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 10th, 2018

Well. More Post Malone. Yay. And also some 6ix9ine. Yeah...here we go. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 3rd, 2018

Well, we've got an uneventful week on our hands. Why couldn't this have happened when I didn't have a day off? Bleh. At least both of our two new entries this week look promising. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights February 24th, 2018

And the album bombs keep coming. Not that this one in any way surprises me, but it is unique in that it's a soundtrack album with various artists. I haven't seen Black Panther yet, planning on that tomorrow. So if this music has anything to do with the movie I'm not gonna know it. Also Drake or something. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights February 17th, 2018

And now, the Migos fallout and more Black Panther. Along with some other things that have been bubbling for a while. Fun times ahead. Highlights.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights February 10th, 2018

More Migos. Yay. And Chris Stapleton getting his first Top 10 hit. That's gotta be worth something. This is gonna be a long one, folks. Highlights.

Every Song on Billboard's 2017 Year End List Scored

I kinda forgot to do this considering I pretty much did this in video form. But who has 45 free minutes these days anyway? Well, if you do, here are the links to all the 2017 videos I made:

Worst List
Best List
Year End Rated Part 1 (100-51)
Year End Rated Part 2 (50-1)
