Number one country songs on the Billboard Country Airplay chart by women in my lifetime (February 28th, 1989-present), a thread:
Holy missing words, Batman! This is what happens when my brain is running a mile a minute and I have WAY too much to say. 🙂
And worse: It feels like there’s a heavy implication that someone might actually be straight but was only “experimenting” with their own gender for a bit. It was bad enough when AMC portrayed like this in the 2000s; there is ZERO excuse for this behavior today.
None of this did/does actually feels like daytime embracing a true portrayal of bisexuality, which is absolutely a real thing. It just feels like a way to placate the pearl clutchers in the audience who can’t handle an out and proud lesbian relationship on a soap.
20-25 years ago, All My Children had a problem with giving Bianca a love interest who actually seemed comfortable being in love with another woman. What’s going on with Tessa today feels like the inverse of that. It’s giving what the website TV Tropes calls “But Not Too Gay”. #YR

A character falling for someone who's married is standard operating procedure on a soap. What's disgusting is Daniel falling for an out lesbian & them kissing. Marital status isn't respected on a soap but a character's sexuality should be.

Demi Lovato goes to dance-pop and... well, I'm conflicted on this one.

So I finally got to the new Neko Case album... and it rules. Exactly what I needed right now, could well be on the cusp of the best of 2025!

I know it sounds cliché, but losing hope is exactly what this administration wants. The more people give up, the less people will be safe to fight back. So don’t give up.
The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
To quote John Mellencamp and his song "Peaceful World": "If you're not part of the future, THEN GET OUT OF THE WAY." 💯
YES. THANK YOU. I'll fully admit that I'm a hopeless optimist, but this kind of endless negativity is boring and tiresome, and you are NOT the edgy badass you think you are for saying this. Put forward what you're going to do combat it or just say nothing at all.

Bit of a curveball here: so Perrie, from Little Mix? She dropped her self-titled debut not too long ago...

And it's legit awesome. One of the best pop albums of the year... with a catch. Enjoy! youtu.be/lkHlHiUUuXU

Gonna keep on diving into the lion's den as I've got two videos planned for tonight, the first touching on the new Mariah Carey album 'Here For It All'. She's now in her legacy period - and that's not quite a compliment. Enjoy! youtu.be/dpB6QDUJa1g

And it looks like a solid 'no' when it comes to fudging with their own rules behind the scenes, go figure.

(also doesn't fix the holiday song issues - also go figure!)

Previously, descending songs were removed from the Hot 100 once falling below No. 25 after 52 weeks or below No. 50 after 20 weeks.

To see if Billboard adheres to their own rules, now THERE'S an interesting question!

Major Billboard changes!

"...when songs move to recurrent status following their runs on the ranking.
Descending songs will now depart... once they are:
Below No. 5 after 78 weeks
Below No. 10 after 52 weeks
Below No. 25 after 26 weeks
Below No. 50 after 20 weeks"

Happy Birthday to the one time Chance Chancellor and the future Chad DiMera, Conner Floyd! He sent me a video message when another online soap friend of mine went to an fan event he took part in back in May. I CAN’T WAIT to see him as Chad next April! 🥳 #DAYS #YR
