Timely reminder that this is NOT eligible for #TheTenx5 and should be left for #TheN0ughtie5.

'Chart peak' does not apply to a continuous run unless I say otherwise (e.g. Blinding Lights).

(in any case the week ending date for the US #1 was 2 Jan 10, so publication date was 29 Dec 09)

Hello, it's time for Day 14's TV TEASER.

Once again, I'd think very literally here, and consider which year we're in and what the biggest hits of said year were.

I've never really been trying to trick you with these...:)

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

Can you work it out?

The TV TEASER for Day 12 is slightly different, in that you should click the link below for a GIF.

Although the address probably gives it away in any case.

Remember: it's tomorrow's last song and 69th of 138 overall.

2022 (21/?)

11.6 (64/138)
BIG THIEF
'SIMULATION SWARM'
USA

1 x 11 (unranked)

Qualification by stealth. Never in the top 50, never under threat of missing cut-off. Probably the biggest "where did that come from?" on the list.
