M10 show week 30

 

All right, so we're back and feeling- physically- about normal.  We have just deleted last week altogether, and this is basically your regularly scheduled M10 show...

Elvis: C'n ya just get the show goin'?  Yer soundin' like yer about ta confuse us all...

Probably so.  BTW, I see yet another celebrity who shall remain nameless has asked a certain section of her potential audience to "never listen to my music again" if they hold a certain position she disagrees with.  Without getting into the politics, I just want to bring up four reasons this kind of infantile behavior is stupid.

1) If you wanted to change anyone's mind with your music, you've just eliminated that possibility.

2) Assuming anyone listens to your demand, you've cost yourself money.

3) You have very little means to enforce such a demand, other than pulling your music from the internet and generating a list of "qualified listeners".

4) Most people who disagree with you very likely don't listen to you anyway.

I hope you all understand that I mean this to ANY act who from ANY political/social alignment pulls a stunt such as this.  And now, cue up that first debut!

Yeah, an' from whut I unnerstand, a lot of you may already know this song better'n we do!  It's already hit #1 in half the United Nations- in fact, it's #1 on Billboard right now!  At #10, here's Harry Styles...

Oh, just for the record, after the above rant, I was going to post in honor of that anonymous singer Leslie Gore's It's My Party (and I'll cry if I want to), but space kinda gets in the way.  Hey, King, which years are we at for the #1s of Summer this week?

 

Looks like 2's an' 3's...

 

Okay, so let me look this up... 1962 this week it was Ray Charles and I Can't Stop Loving You... 1972 was Gallery and Nice To Be With You... and 1982 was the Human League and Don't You Want Me!

Cool tunes!  What's the next debut?

Well, it's a cover of an old favorite (1994) of mine by a band called Mazzy Star- the original peaked at #3 on the alt chart.  This version by folk-American artist Valerie June is brand new, and I'm so in love with this song using steel guitar!  At #9...

Kinda a strange voice...

Yeah, but the SG kills it!  You wanna pick up the threes?

Shure, why not?  1963 this week is Kyu Sakamoto an' Sukiyaki... 1973 is George Harrison an' Give Me Love... an' 1983 is ... whut the heck is a Flashdance?

I'm not sure, but I think it involves a bucket of water...

Ok, so that song is by Irene Cara... 

I was fine with all but Flashdance... that's kind of a "check what else is on" tune for me.  Okay, Bud, give us the top debut at #8!

Yeah, these guys are just a bit outta my range, but they are pretty cool.  This is Panic! At The Disco...
