@samhaft.com Gravity made quite the splash on Billboard charts in its debut frame!

#4 Bubbling Under Hot 100
#23 Digital Song Sales

#15 Hot Rock/Alternative Songs
#12 Hot Rock Songs

#80 Canadian Hot 100

I can feel it, by the time the season is fully out, at least 1 song will make the US Hot 100!

Also the singer has come up on the channel before, as they sang the prechorus and hook on the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song Downtown www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGho...

The comedian Eric Schwartz I got introduced to about 2 years ago as a one-episode character Chaz in Helluva Boss, where they’re a fake-it-til-ya-make-it playboy and hustler, embodied in the song Eric performs on the show, Chaz Time: wwww.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBF...

JAKAZiD is pretty known in the rhythm game sphere, with my introduction being the commission “Pierce the Sky” for the 2010 arcade installment of DDR www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MX6...

Apparently for years, they’ve had a side account for joke songs like Get Clucky, which made the list.

I decided to see how many year-ends it would take to come across one of your tracks, & was pleasantly surprised to find the You Don’t Know Jack cover sharing space in ‘13 with an artist I loved before encountering your work and one that made a nice impression on me recently: JAKAZiD & Eric Schwartz

Does two and a half years count as a run? I like pretty much all the singles Max produced from 2020 to mid 2022 (e.g. After Hours & Dawn FM, Music of the Spheres, “Stupid Love”, “2 Be Loved”, and “So Good”)

“paying off”, rather, oops.

@shadowtodd.bsky.social I was familiar with Pop Muzik before your episode, but thank you for reigniting my interest in the song, because it just ended up paying in one of the games I play! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw7_...

I’m going to guess the maintenance costs from the extreme wear and tear from not-designed-for usage for both the wheel system and the rails made it a nonstarter. It seems like it would have run into the same problems that killed Rocket Rods.

Kinda sounds like the film actor equivalent to when The Weeknd filmed the finale sequence of that maligned show The Idol as part of the tour (After Hours 'til Dawn) they were on that the main shoot had to schedule around.

My little micro-obsession with the now-defunct Dance Club Songs chart kept me pretty familiar with her modern day work. Pretty much every single she dropped topped that chart including several from Madame X.

Did you see the DDD? I had no clue Maverick was Madonna’s (joint) company, only was aware of their label activity when I was looking into Jagged Little Pill for my analysis of Rock Band’s licensing trends.

It seems there are allegations that Jerry may have played a part in one of the spouses' deaths, the one who overdosed, and the timing of the previous one's accident at a friend's private pool in the middle of divorce proceedings seems suspect.

The administration sure has been seeing their “idears” through a lot as of late…

In seriousness, this has been an especially disconcerting week, hopefully there’s some sort of off-ramp from where it seems they want to take us.

If this applies to next episode (provided the segment was already recorded, since it’s a separate session I don’t know how close you cut it), what keyword did you end up using? My guess is “roger”.

Also, for posterity, just showing that the 2 OSTs got some playlisting love on US Apple Music, with one song from each getting a placement on the Latest Songs playlist that greets users as they enter the Browse tab!

I'd recommend not going too far down this line of thought lest we get too close to stuff like the founder of Lululemon's intentions with naming their company that.

In any case, it seems the common localization is to say it as アール, "Aaru".

Congrats to @vivziepop.bsky.social and team for ringing up 3 of the top 5 on Comedy Albums with the launch of the new Helluva Boss OSTs!

Forgive this needlessly thorough ramble, this is what my brain does when it should sleep but instead is caught in a rabbit hole.

The grape lamp seems to be inspired by design fads of the 60s, so I guess the implication is the current family's adults moved in in the early 70s and wallpapered everything while leaving the floor tiles on the first floor, with Hannah and Sid choosing their rooms' looks as they grew up.

It's almost as if the parts of the house were extensions: the main part of the first floor was built as a Pueblo Revival house in the 30s, the kitchen with its checkerboard floor tiles and conspicuous water heater in the 50s, and the woodpaneled upstairs and hippie-evoking roof in the early 70s.

That house's interior design always struck me as tacky in a 70s sort of way (see also: the wallpapers in the upstairs hallway, dad's room, and the entry hall, plus the carpet on the upstairs and the exterior), so my guess was one of the parents was stuck on that look and never bothered to change it.

Ah, I assumed it was to keep continuity with the audio being used in S2E1

All of them are/were on the All-Time Hot 100 list at some point? Elvis is the only one that currently isn't, but I know that back in the 2012 update, "Are You Lonesome To-Night?" was present. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut92...

I like it, it's like if Upside Down's structure got fused with Say So with twinges of Olivia Newton-John in there.
