My 4th mashup album, Play the Hits!

Out now !!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=H019...

Album cover for 'Play the Hits!' by Lydia Valentino. A young brunette woman, wearing a gray dress and black shoes, sits on the grass around a blue house, holding a plush Zorua (a slate gray, fox-like Pokémon with red and black accents) in her outstretched hands. At the corner of the house sits a plush Gengar (a purple, roundish ghost Pokémon with red eyes and a sinister grin). Against the other facade is a Coachella-style poster for 'Play the Hits,' a mashup album by Lydia Valentino. The featured artists and artists behind the instrumentals are printed on the poster, above a QR code and the date '5 September 2025.'

The only way that is remotely true on social media is if you're actively seeking out Wallen fans to argue with.

I've been listening to "Really Love" for like 20 minutes straight this is devastating

Every time I mentioned typewriters to my dad, he always brought up how much they absolutely sucked. It didn't take long to make me realize how frustrating it must've been to do so much with them.

Father Figure should've committed to the bit and just used the original melody. I'd ask "why bring the sexual innuedo into the text without actually leaning into the camp of it all" but Taylor's allergy to camp sensibility kneecaps the song entirely

lyric from Kendrick Lamar's "Mother I Sober":

You broke a generational curse

I understand why Ben Johnson is trying this because I understand trying to break generational traumas

V30 rule change! The first- and second-week modifiers have been adjusted: songs will have 15% of their streams counted in the first week, and 40% of their streams counted in the second.

You know why.

too many of you are focused on bari weiss throwing around memos at third place CBS when you should be focused on fundamentals like throwing out the runner at first base with two outs

Giants being used as a get right game for both of last year’s SB teams. What’s even the point anymore

Maybe 0.25x is too much but like... 94M streams.

The most any song has gotten in 2025 was "luther" the week of the Super Bowl - 45M streams.

The biggest streaming weeks of 2024 was "Fortnight" 1st week (76M), followed by the first full week of "Not Like Us" (71M).
