Countdown News

Hey Everyone,

I think I'm going to take a break from the countdown for a while. I started it when I was at a much different place in my life and recently, it has felt that, even though I love doing the countdown, I don't have the time to devote to creating what amounts to a very time sensitive project.

I don't think this is the end. And I'm not in any sort of bad headspace or anything. I'm just looking for ways to lighten my mental load! :)

If you'd like to hear my lovely voice, you can search for me on my other podcast, Unabashedly Obsessed, which is available on iTunes. It doesn't have the musical content of this one, but it does have me talking to one of my best friends in the world!

Thanks for understanding and thanks for listening and I'll probably be talking to you soon!

Love
James

Top Ten Tuesday: Maroon 5 featuring Kendrick Lamar "Don't Wanna Know"

This is an amazing video. I love so much about it. I was sad that they cut the Kendrick part, but I imagine they pitched the concept to him and he was like, "Um....I'll pass." :)

This song jumps from #56 to #9 this week which is quite an impressive leap!

Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: 1993 (5 Weeks at #1)

There were no songs the spent 5 weeks at #1 in 1994

Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) (11/6-12/4)

When I think of this song, I think of the Pop Up Video version, but the non-Pop Up Video version is awesome too :)

Top Ten Tuesday: Bruno Mars "24K Magic"

Here's a song that debuts at #5 this week. I really enjoyed watching him perform it on SNL, so I'll put that video on here too! Glad to see him making music again!

New Countdown: Ding!

Kaleo

It feels like this one took a long time to put together. Fortunately, it's a great episode and it features what I believe is my very first editor's note! So look out for that!
