***DIAMOND AXE STUDIOS CHANNEL UPDATE***
I simply don't have space in my head right now for the sheer volume of pointless reactionary bullshit from all sides that this is gonna generate, so I'm just gonna tune out and say "very cool, thanks Chappell, glad you're having fun."
Don’t think we’ll be beating this look tonight for most shocking lol Chappell Roan let the girls loose #Grammys

I'm kinda floored by how 2026's hit parade is popping off... SO much really good, interesting stuff, and it seems to be gaining purely organically... this new crop of hits has very little flukey viral energy about it, I think there's just a lot of trending music that's very broadly engaging atm

It's not gonna happen, but could you imagine if, at age 76, Bruce Springsteen got his first ever #1 hit with a fucking anti-ICE protest song?
#Music #MusicBlueSky #AltRock

Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Minneapolis", released Thursday, 29 Jan 26, is No. 1 on the youtube music charts Sunday, 1 Feb 26, 6:47 PM EST with 5.1 million views for the music video:

I know that Top 3 logically makes sense, but WOW, does that Top 3 not make sense in my brain /pos

Observation thread:

Our collective brokenness, combined with the explosion of AI & franchise slop, has caused a huge percent of the population to just opt out of novel art as a consumerist product, choosing to return to the endless ocean of pre-existing media instead.

The interesting thing...

Let's be honest: the fact that Trump happened means that the US was always vulnerable to something like Trump happening... it was inevitable, sooner or later.

To that end, there is a part of me that is thankful, at the very least, that America's evil demagogue ended up being SO fucking incompetent.
I’m thankful for Trump

Without him I have never paid more attention to politics as I have in the last 10 years

I’ve never appreciated the rights I have as a US citizen

I’ve never thought our government would turn against it’s citizens

I was naive as to how stupid 30% of the population is

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

I can't say much good about 2026 as a year so far, but I will say that this one single month has had more interesting stuff happen in pop music than basically the entirety of last year put together.

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.

There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

Wild prediction: Poetry is gonna find commercial success at some point in the next twenty years as pop music.

And I don't mean rapping, I mean spoken-word poetry, delivered as a spoken-word poet would, over music.

TikTok will pick something like that up one day, and it'll spark a phenomenon.

Still find it funny that the Ninja Turtles are as old now as these characters were when this drivel was farted out, and only one of these characters is still in use in any meaningful way today, and even then only as a cereal mascot.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I'm pretty good at using metaphors to convey really niche, specific observations I have in a way that most people will understand.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

You know there was a reason that I chose "Feelings" by Maroon 5 as my channel theme song, but for the life of me I can't remember what the fuck it was
January 16, 2026 at 7:06 AM
The thing about AI "art" is that no matter how "impressive" it gets, it will always be possible to distinguish for one reason: the people making it aren't artists.

Like okay, you can bring anything you want to life just by asking; doesn't change that you're a rube with no idea wtf to even ask for.
