Wild Card: The Island of Misfit Songs
Isn’t the holiday season all about second chances? We’re just making that up. Because Love Actually taught us that the holiday season can be about whatever you pretend it’s about. Either way, this week’s Wild Card round brings back ten old favorites, all competing for […]
Weekly Top Ten: Why Isn’t Adele Winning This?
We don’t mean any disrespect to Pink, Cher or the variety of talented vocalists on our Weekly Top Ten countdown. But, um, how is it possible that Adele isn’t the number one song? It’s almost as if you guys haven’t even listened to “Rolling In […]
