So one thing I’ve gotten into over the last few years is making a song-a-day mix. I got the idea from ex-MTV host Dave Holmes, and all you do is pick one song each day… something you hear, something you think of, something tied to an event/news item/personal milestone, etc. and you just keep building over 365. At the end of each year (or each month, even) not only do you have a sweet - and often very random! - mix but afterwards you can look back on it and re-live the time… be it “oh yeah, that’s the day I watched ____” or “I was out at my local and this song just hit the moment perfectly!” Just sharing in case anyone here wants to give it a go moving forward! Or maybe you do it too? If anyone is interested, here’s how my year started (and, yes, thank you @John Richards for more than a couple of these!) https://music.apple.com/ca/playlist/01-january-2026/pl.u-b3b84WNUbAvLP https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6LhKcbjOy0CkY4mJFazeCT

I’m here to see the “Thelma & Louise” musical - music and lyrics by Neko Case, and to see Arlo Parks on her home turf. Anything else I should see while I’m here (10/15–22)? Cheers, Marco

What did the hivemind think of the final chart? The #1 isn’t a surprise but I was surprised how little grunge there is in the top 30 (tbh totally fine with that). But very happy to see that “Groove is in the heart” got as high as 7. At first glance, I thought it was remarkable that Cranberries have 3 tracks in the top 30 but I don’t see U2 until 41! Any other thoughts?
