The top 30 most viewed videos of all time on YouTube were uploaded between 2009 & 2018, nothing new is coming remotely close to breaking this deadlock

Today in Hottest 100 blog land: We pass the quarter mark. Two of these songs have 1 billion combined streams on Spotify, another two have a combined 40 million. In my typical fashion, I go from lengthy chart rant to name dropping a niche VN in record time hottest-100.blogspot.com/2025/05/750-...

Yesterday on Bandle, the music clip guessing game they used Amy Macdonald's "This Is The Life", a song that was massive in mainland Europe but nowhere else. I tracked the guess rate through the day that re-affirms this (getting it in 6 is tantamount to not knowing the song)

the Flying Lotus Grocery Store 'infetterence' copy pasta is so good because it's inherently ridiculous but low stakes enough that someone always thinks it's real whenever it gets rebranded

My crucial observation about The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- you won't find anywhere else One of the characters has the same unique name (Kako) as Essendon FC's first round draft pick/potential future star from last year and wears primarily the same colours It's very funny to me.

Never overly impressed at someone beating a FromSoft game, basically everyone who plays them manages it. Most of them would never be able to beat Spider Solitaire with all 4 suits, that's a real challenge

There's a sentiment that Christmas playlists are shifting the default order of Christmas hits (esp. Wham! vs. Mariah), so I looked at the Spotify numbers of the biggest Christmas songs and how well they do...in April. A surprise result!

Think you know everything about Furi? Dircashede has set up the ultimate Furi Trivia Challenge. Best part? Its a stream! Tune in to our Discord this Friday to cheer on competitors like Mango, Beat Propoganda, and Entropy!

The Jailer is the key! But the key to Furi’s wonderful community is YOU! From fanart to speedruns, thank you for keeping the game alive for all those years! We’re celebrating with another awesome community week with contests, announcements, and more!

(Posting with a HK avatar) This is my Silksong, glad it's finally (partially) out. I had to wait until it was comfortably April 2nd because it sounds like a joke at this point but very worthwhile www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtIi...

Ever since Twitch announced they're extremely reducing storage limits, I've been working as best I can to transfer my 200+ Twitch VODs over to YouTube, happy to say it's finally finished www.youtube.com/@DircashedeV...

this reads like a shitpost but i am living it

I remember being convinced of the online axiom that anonymity breeds assholery. Probably still true in gaming spaces, but as far as social media goes, it's always the sites with names & faces that foster this, far more than sites with just character strings for usernames. The id finds a way!

I broke my world record again last week

Just as a public service: Jeopardy! doubled its clue values back in 2001, so $500 hasn't been on the board since the first Harry Potter movie was in theaters. Please tell everyone you know to switch to an even number when you wisecrack in this format.

The last Chaeri unlocked.

Party House from UFO 50 is a very funny answer to this (and it's true)

Today we answer the questions of 'What film was that?' and 'How big is my backlog?' The less direct answer to the latter is that it's big enough that I still need to edit these in post hottest-100.blogspot.com/2025/02/845-...

Deeply fascinated by this one 'she likes this music' vs. 'he likes this music' engagement post I keep seeing that includes "Pablo Honey". Do they just like "Creep", or has an entire generation missed the discourse and just obliviously likes the album?

The most peculiar bit of reality blurring in "Better Man" is when they're listening to the radio announcing that "Never Ever" by All Saints has debuted at #1. In an era when nearly every #1 hit debuted there, they picked the one song that took months to get there!

PSA to all speedrunners - PLEASE download and upload all highlights to YouTube. Huge amounts of speedrunning history will be lost if we don't take action. Even if you're under 100 hours, play it safe and download. It's 100 hours for now, but who knows in the future.

Need someone to make a clickbait article/video about 'THE BIGGEST THING PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT MUSIC CHARTS', and it's the prevalent 'didn't chart high in country x' = 'did nothing in country x'. This image is just the tip of the iceberg
