Curiosidade do dia

Na revista Time do dia 23 de Junho próximo um artigo sobre Mongo... "SO LONG, SONG OF THE SUMMER"

BTW, lembro-me da Ana Bola, nos anos 80, a apresentar o TNT (Todos No Top)

"The idea of a pop monoculture has not only ceased to exist but also resulted in the loss of shared cultural touchpoints that connect millions of Americans. A fragmented culture stands in its stead, thanks to the rise of the curated algorithm and social media feeds perfectly sculpted to fit our interests and experiences. Yes, this has made us more— or at least feel more— disconnected.

...

In 2010, when Billboard created the Songs of the Summer chart, it explained that a song's place was determined by its "cumulative performance on the weekly streaming, airplay, and sales-based Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day." This made sense, given the time. In 2010, Facebook was the most popular social media platform. The firstgeneration iPad had just been made available to the public. And "California Girls" by Katy Perry was the No. 1 song on the inaugural Song of the Summer chart. That song was everywhere-you couldn't escape it. 

Fast-forward to 2024, and the Billboard Song of the Summer was "I Had Some Help" by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen. The top placement seems to be at odds with Brat summer, the meteoric rise of Chappell Roan, the bubblegum pop of Sabrina Carpenter, and the historic rap beef of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, all of which betrays the chart's inability to encapsulate the music that people are actually listening to.

...

Americans, rather than being homogeneous music consumers, are shifting toward personalized music experiences and playlists."
