Ian Watkins was stabbed to death in prison today, police say. The disgraced ex-frontman of Welsh rock band Lostprophets was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield for child sex offenses, and his victims included at least one baby.

Maybe they meant the Tickle Me EP itself...but no, EP's don't count as singles, they count as albums...right? www.discogs.com/release/3204...

Here's the IMDB page for the soundtrack. Again...no song called "Tickle Me."

So...did they just mean the soundtrack itself? www.imdb.com/title/tt0056...

The embedded video they have is a clip from the movie where Elvis performs "Put the Blame on Me." Not a song called "Tickle Me." And I can't find any evidence that it was even released as a single, or even recorded at all.

So...did the movie itself just chart or something?

Now, if I can go off on a little tangent: This song. I would've had it on the worst list for the title alone, except for one thing: I can't find it. At all. I can find many clips of the movie, but no actual song called "Tickle Me."

My only complaint is that this site has no way to navigate to a weekly chart. I'd have to jump through hoops to do that, but not as much.

The Internet never makes it easy for me I guess >.<

Example: This was the chart I used for the worst list. Here, I can click on a song and know where it peaked and how many weeks it was on the chart. With Billboard, I had to jump through hoops to find that shit. elpee.jp/hot100/week/...

So, I've been using this site for a while to find chart-related data that Billboard doesn't have on their official site.

Recently, I've noticed that they have entire weekly charts now, and I gotta say, their site is easier to navigate than Billboard's. elpee.jp

bruh I was in Portland just a few months ago and I didn't see anything burning

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
