Top Ten Tuesday: One Direction "Perfect"

Only the 6th Top Ten song for the British pop titans, it debuts at #10. I guess I thought they had a stronger singles discography than that. Weird.

Throwback Thursday: 1955 (Disney Edition!)

Since we're in Disney this week, and since there was a feature-length Disney movie released in 1955, let's throw back to that!

Top Ten Tuesday (UK Edition): Naughty Boy feat Beyonce and Arrow Benjamin "Runnin' (Lose It All)"

It feels like maybe the top ten has a lot of movement within it, but not a lot of songs entering that we haven't covered before. So it's back to the UK charts.

Gorillaz

As you read this, I am in a van driving to Disney, Florida. I hope you are having a great Saturday so far and I hope this episode makes it better! You should go for a drive, too. Let's sync up our experiences! I'll try to put this on around noon (when it posts) as long as I think of it.

So in 2013 Billboard celebrated 25 years of our beloved Alternative Songs (nee Hot Modern Rock Tracks) chart. We celebrated by listening to the first Top Ten. Now we're going to spend the next two weeks counting down the Top 20 on this list that is just over 2 years old. I don't know how the past two years have affected things and I guess we won't know until 2038, when the chart celebrates 50 years ;-) (jk. I'm sure that there'll be something to commemorate the 30th anniversary)

So enjoy Part 1 of 2 Bonus Countdowns!
