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 […]
I just bought a bunch of these the other weekend at a yard sale and they’re all okay. You should really consider getting into some stuff after this, though. I know I keep saying it, but it’s true and you should listen to me because I have a lot of records. I mean, the new […]
A very average month for our list of the best selling records of February 2018 on Discogs, except for the Khruangbin record, which is amazing. I don’t think I’ve seen that Kate Bush album before either. Stagnation is the name of the game otherwise. Again, I dare you to take it upon yourselves to break free […]
January has come and gone. What would have been an otherwise normal month was unfortunately met with the passing of Dolores O’Riordan, member of the band The Cranberries. This band has a particular etching in my memories associated to me being in kindergarten and also being babysat by my aunt, who had this tape in […]
This month’s list of the best selling records is so normal, it stands out. 2017 was the worst year I can remember and I survived middle school. I welcome this incredibly normal list. Behold, the top three albums are exactly the same as the previous month. For the most part, this list looks like almost […]
Hello, I am back and unstoppable. November was a month in the year of 2017. I really have nothing more to say about this other than that Tori Amos‘ early record Y Kant Tori Read actually charted thanks to the magic of reissues. Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and Michael Jackson hold their usual top 3 […]
