Top Ten Tuesday: Camila Cabello featuring Young Thug "Havana"

This is a very entertaining video for a very catchy song that isn't what we normally hear from the Top Ten. Very cool. I wasn't a huge fan of Young Thug's part, but that's just a personal preference.

New Countdown: Take THAT, Twenty One Pilots

Throwback Thursday: 2013

Welcome to the new season (?) of Throwback Thursday! We're going to be looking back at all of the instrumental songs that have hit #1 on the charts! There are no instrumental songs from the 90's that hit #1, so it'll be refreshing to not do any 90's songs for a while.

And before anyone says anything, these are instrumental songs, but they might have some vocal parts in them. it's just that they're instrumental enough to be called instrumental by Billboard.

Here's the only instrumental song to hit #1 since I have been able to read! It jetted up to #1 after a meme started going around YouTube and Facebook. You can probably search YouTube for "Harlem Shake Videos" and see TONS. Billboard made changes to how they tallied the Hot 100 right around the time that the Harlem Shake meme was really hot. The change was that they would allow YouTube videos that featured songs to push those songs up the chart. So it was only natural that this one blasted up to the top and stayed there for 5 weeks!

Enjoy! And dance!

Baauer - Harlem Shake (2/2-2/23)

And here's a Top Ten Countdown of the Best Harlem Shake videos because apparently there was never an official music video for it

Top Ten Tuesday: Imagine Dragons "Thunder"

Hey hey the second Imagine Dragons song to make the Top 5 and also the third song from the countdown show to make the Top 5! It's all coming up Alternative Songs lately!

New Countdown: Ride the Earth

Judah & the Lion

It was another great show as we work our way through the end of the September shows, hopefully on a path to catch up to present by the end of the year!

Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: 1995 (16 Weeks at #1)

Well here it is. The crown jewel of the Hot 100. The song with the most weeks at #1. Recently tied, but not defeated. Enjoy! And check back in next Thursday for a new series of Throwback Thursday posts. Thanks for joining me as we made our way back through the 90's!

Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men - One Sweet Day (12/2/95-3/16/96)

Top Ten Tuesday: Sam Smith "Too Good at Goodbyes"

Sam Smith is back in the Top Ten for the first time in maybe like 2 years? This is a very catchy, very Sam Smith-y song. I like it quite a bit, even if it is VERY sad

New Countdown: Play it Where it Lays

Frightened Rabbit

Happy 350th episode! It's hard to believe that I've been doing this countdown for roughly 7.5 years!

Bit of a theme this week, but mostly just a lot of really great songs! So, enjoy!

Top Ten Tuesday: J Balvin & Willy William featuring Beyonce "Mi Gente"

This is one of those songs that, when I hit play, I was like "OHHH *THIS* song!!!" This is a very catchy song and I really like the video. It's just people dancing and then you follow the bouncing heads of the singers for all of the lyrics (as well as knowing who is singing.) It's very cool. Enjoy!

New Countdown: Butterfly vs Man

Foo Fighters

We have got some EXCELLENT tunes for you today and some interesting tidbits in the intros. Can you guess which songwriter cites a Chinese proverb as the guiding force behind their new album?

Enjoy!

Top Ten Tuesday: Demi Lovato "Sorry Not Sorry"

I wouldn't say that I'm a HUGE fan of Demi Lovato's music. It's not for me, and that is totally ok. This song is fairly catchy and the video is pretty enjoyable to watch. Make sure you watch until the end. I feel like she has a cool personality and this video went a long way to reinforce that
