Some Person With Their Opinions

     Talking about something in hindsight can be very difficult. One of the reasons is that you are talking about stuff that are set in stone and you have to add the context about why that stuff existed in the first place. If you also trying to criticize that old stuff, you run into another beast altogether. Now you have to try and talk shit about stuff that has been calcified to the culture as a whole not just objective facts. That's why a lot of people love the idea of the "worst music ever" lists because it's a permission structure for people to mock older songs. When you stray from that canon and create your own path, that's when it gets interesting.

The leftover from the Y2K era are starting to get grating, Nu-Metal was on the brink of implosion, rock are turning inwards as post grunge and pop punk are fighting for dominant...

Welp seems like 2026 has off to a bad start. I'm already tired of the year as a whole...So how are we doing on the pop chart? Well still not much but I am glad that there are more new songs here that are interesting to me than the last seasonal ranking. At the very least from the songs that are eligible for this ranking (Songs that are below 30 weeks on the chart and I didn't talk about more than two times), they are all very varied and it's a time for me to look at the thing that I kinda missed during the holidays because most of these are from holiday period where I don't look at the chart at all.  I'm using the chart date of January 10th but the tracking window was the rest of December after Christmas to New Years. So a lot of these songs here I have never talked about before and that's a net positive for me. Of course the quality of the songs I ranked today is a different story. So let's start with the one I'm just sick of and needs to be left behind...
