Greetings fellow humans. Reporting live from the Dutch office where I’m licking my proverbial wounds from the Utrecht record fair all weekend, which I’ll blab about in a later post. In the meantime, once again back with another list of things you should have bought, had you known about the real top 50. What was […]
This list has something for everyone. Classics and new, experimental and pop, electronic and analog, fast cars — it’s all here, and if you were paying attention when some of this came out, you probably have a copy by now. The release that stands out to me here the most, other than the undefeatable Tracy […]
2018 was a heck of a year, but it’s over. This month I decided to work some new logic into the Top 50 and remove duplicates for similar titles. This way we can squeeze more interesting new information into the post and not reward labels for making a whole ton of different color variants to […]
I tried to make a post that was just a wall of potatoes but I’m being censored and have to write something real. I will work tirelessly to ensure proper potato posting, peeps. I shall fight tirelessly night and day to make content that truly reaches the potato respecting audiences at the core of my […]
After her passing in mid-August, it should come as no surprise that soul legend Aretha Franklin dominated the top 50 best sellers for that month. Still though, she had a whopping eight records on the chart, with three in the top 10. All the LPs but one fell in the classic period between 1967 and […]
After spending just one month outside the top spot thanks to Ghost, Pink Floyd is back. Hardly a surprise. What might be surprising, however, is that a cassette made it into the top 50 in July. And it’s a new cassette, at that! There’s been a lot of talk — and a lot of balk […]
We have a new number one for the month of June! Pap Emeritus and his playfully demonic Swedish provocateurs Ghost unseated Dark Side… with their fourth LP, which hit at the beginning of June. This is the first time since October 2017 that a Pink Floyd record wasn’t at number one! German DJ Skee Mask […]
One month past record store day and life is mostly back to normal, with a few lingering hangers-on. New releases by Beach House and Nu Guinea made waves and broke into the top lists, let’s see if they stay there. There’s always a chance that an injection of new releases may bring up the market […]
Maybe it’s about time we started demanding real new content in our lives. How many times are we going to give the few remaining major labels our hard earned money over and over again while other artists are consistently ignored? Do we need every remaining bit of back catalog scraped up and smeared onto a […]
