Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White has died at the age of 74. White’s health had declined in the last few months as a result of a long battle with Parkinsons disease, which had plagued him since the 1980s and forced him to stop touring in 1994. White founded the legendary funk-soul band a...

Wanted to throw out a thanks to Andre for bringing Eefje de Visser to my attention. Her new album is great pop, with a very elegant, comforting production

It's always bothered me that "Frances Ha" receives so much credit for that scene, rather than it's original, far superior inspiration.

Late to the party, but thanks a million for the updates Henrik! Always a joy.

Before I make that final playlist update, just wanted to confirm that the Chart is now in its final iteration - even considering the Grammys in a couple weeks. Otherwise, if it's all the same, I'll work on that last change.

Interesting tracks in there. PJ Harvey delivers again, a quality track, she very rarely faltered in all those years. However, disappointingly boring from Radiohead and Suede. The track from Cage the Elephant, a band I have been following for a while, is particularly good, nice catchy tune. I am sti...

About time to get back into the swing of regular album discussions, I'd say. "ANTI" is, to my own surprise, the first Rihanna album I've legitimately enjoyed listening to and revisiting, though that's also because it's her first album that's actually an album. These tracks definitely have ...

It's a shame because I think Muero de amor - La Bien Querida could have gotten two votes (mine and some other). I generally keep it a rule of mine to not vote in the Chart - I like that it's run by the Forum public that visit weekly rather than it's creator. But I do very much love "Muero de A...

I don't believe that it would be the first time on the Chart that the #1 song doubles the point value of the #2 song, and it definitely isn't the first time the top two songs are the same artist.
