My novelty response to Kylie Minogue getting another #1 single in the UK is either:
-Wow, England are doing so badly at the Ashes they've even ceded their charts to us
-ARIA baffled as for the first time in history, streaming algorithms have helped an Australian artist

Today I look at one of the biggest hit songs of the 2010s and consider what it really means to be popular in the era of music streaming, and also how jarring the charts can be if you remember the download era (or earlier than that!) hottest-100.blogspot.com/2025/12/430-...

We run it back, just as much disoriented commentary on the hits or thereabouts of the year before, a lot more struggling to steer around corners. Same rough time, same channel etc.

I don’t really get the “lol I haven’t heard of any of these must be made up” response to a best of 2025 song list. Why would you boast about that?

It must annoy Sony Music Australia to no end that Guy Sebastian can't get a hit anymore, and meanwhile his soundalike Teddy Swims (signed to Warner) is absolutely crushing it worldwide

hey Swamp, good day to you. I've noticed that thanks to the delayed game and finals series this year, Brisbane are going to end up playing 6 games against Geelong between West Coast games, wondering when was the last time the fixture has done something like this

The Billboard Hot 100 including a marker on an incumbent #1 single that says 'Greatest Sales Gainer' is a mark of shame at this point, like they're saying 'we know what you did to get here'.

Can't imagine the mindset that gets anyone to think that kids making 6-7 jokes is a denigration of society. My guy, when we were their age, it was all just spreading around incredibly racist, homophobic and transphobic jokes. It can't be worse than that.

Stereogum is an invaluable part of the music media ecosystem, and they've adapted brilliantly to an increasingly hostile landscape for decades now. Please consider giving them a little of your money if you don't already. (And if you do, make sure your payment details transferred over; mine didn't.)

I regret to inform everyone that the season finale aired tonight and there were no "Bruises" performances all year.
They have however now also covered "Someone You Loved" 5 times. In 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 & 2025.

I'll never forget during a school Sports Day, doing my annual shit javelin throw, there was a student nearby who didn't want to be there, and I was in earshot of the teacher gesturing towards me to say 'even [he's] doing it!'. No actual bullying ever cut harder.

I gotta respect ARIA for announcing a new chart rule and giving a 10 week advance on enacting it, compared to Billboard who enact it without telling anyone (something they've done multiple times). The spite of chart companies remains unsubtle
