Glen Campbell -- legendary country music singer best known for his 1975 hit, "Rhinestone Cowboy" -- has died after a long battle with Alzheimer's ... TMZ has learned. Campbell died Tuesday around 10 AM in a Nashville facility for Alzheimer's patients ... according to a source close to his...

I was considering starting up the weekly topics if I had time, Bleu. I assume you wouldn't mind. I remain too focused on the weekly releases to not want to spur on more discussion on the side

Also - I hadn't seen that Kesha cover yet. Quite something.

Hey Henrik, Awesome stuff so far! Looking brilliant. Just wanted to ask out of curiosity - it appears that in all the recent versions of the 2017 update that you start the song IDs out at #9887 (!!!'s "Must Be the Moon"). However, on the current AM song spreadsheets for the website, the la...

Speaking of, my go-to 'I need to be happier right now' song has been CCR's "Lookin' Out My Back Door" for a few years now. Look at all those happy creatures dancing on the lawn!

I made very good friends at summer camp through bonding over a shared love of Black Hole Sun. There's no happiness in the song, and I take no joy in Cornell's ultimate fate, but the song itself is beautiful, and every time I think of it, I think of my friend and all the good music we've bonded over...

Setherex

Took off all the sad songs. They shouldn't make me happy, especially Black Hole Sun. I definitely don't want to be seen as sadistic. I meant "sadistic" in a playful way more so than a negative way, haha, of course I don't want to take away the general happiness you feel towards anything i...

Oh, I always knew it was sad. But it's a beautiful kind of sadness, y'know? Some things are hard to explain. As of late, it's made me more sad than happy, I'll admit, but I'm always glad to hear it. Your ability to take something unbearably sad, recognize it for its immense beauty, but somehow take...

Setherex

Sometimes a song doesn't necessarily need to be happy for me to take in the beauty of it all. I stopped myself a few times from listing depressing (Time to Pretend) or angry (Superstition) songs just because they sound beautiful to me, but in some cases I can even get past that because the tune is ...

According to his representative, rocker Chris Cornell, who gained fame as the lead singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, has died at age 52.

So, uh, am I just supposed to ignore this PWR BTTM album now?

Anyone who chooses to skip out on it - it's a fine album, there's nothing too special you're missing out on regardless.

Setherex

Is it my turn to be "that guy"? Someone has to :D I'd like to point out for all that haven't given it a listen yet - Mount Eerie's album is, by all means, an incredible piece of art. The fact that it isn't #1 on this list is nothing short of a brash critical error that will be fixed with ...

I think that would make Drake's "Views" our international album of the year, actually.

Setherex

[10] Drake feat. Wizkid and Kyla | One Dance To be fair, I'm pretty sure several of us have heard "One Dance" multiple times over the last year and still have no idea who those two people are. [6] Rae Sremmurd feat. Gucci Mane | Black Beatles The subject of 2016's best tweet , obviously.

Might it not be better to count list placings for this album with those for Rubber Soul or Revolver, with which most of the overlap is. No. there are actually several Capitol releases for which there aren't more-or-less analogous British equivalents (The Beatles' Second Album, Beatles VI, and Hey J...

Setherex, are you out there? Not that you don't deserve a vacation after doing this every week. Hi!

Such an urgency for poor Otis.

For fairness, I've updated the AMF Chart three days late before. No one seemed to mind too much. Heavy burdens lie on heavy shoulders

As this forum's biggest Green Day fan, I was really looking forward to what Green Day had in store for us next, but now I'm really not.

A side note - Henrik you are aware that Spotify limits playlist count at 10,000? I don't know how many of the now ~12,600 AM songs will be on Spotify, but I figure >10,000 is likely, so putting them all on one master playlist won't be exactly possible.
