Music Release History Radio Show/Podcast and PLAYLISTS (immediately) Update

The plan is looking to be:

YouTube: likely on Pause at or around 1000 videos barring something changing to focus on this in the short and maybe long term. Shorts and.or TikTok on the other hand may be still done. This likely will be sometime in 2026 or 2027..maybe 2028 even. It mostly depends on when I hit 1000 videos 

Instead of 20 Songs and 3 hours..it'll likely be more like by decade

60's: 5 songs 

70's: 5 or possibly up to 10 songs

80's: 5 or possibly up to 10 songs

90's: 10 songs or possibly more

2000's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

2010's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

2020's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

Windows of time:

Selecting 1 month that includes songs from releases released in January along with the releases from the previous month and the following month. Aka a 'Season" and a part of the season that, that month is. So the following months are considered:

January: Early Winter (+December and February)

February: Mid Winter (+January and March)

March: Late Winter (+February and April)

April: Early Spring (+March and May)

May: Mid Spring (+April and June)

June: Late Spring (+May and July)

July: Early Summer (+June and August)

August: Mid Summer (+July and September)

September: Late Summer (+August and October)

October: Early Fall (+September and November)

November: Mid Fall (+October and December)

December: Late Fall (+November and January)

So January (Early Winter) would include songs from December and February,
February (Mid Winter) would include songs from January and March, etc

And the songs chosen are intended to be nearly all from the information I have on the release Date or Month.

Playlists and then a podcast at some point? Initially, a Playlist and I may do a writeup (or script per say). The hope would be if the time is allowed, to record an actual Podcast where I get to play historical DJ and put it up on Substack or Mixcloud. Clips? well..not ideally, but that may find a way to get around copyright concerns (and Mixcloud or Substack vs YouTube, Spotify, etc).

And the Radio Station name (or Podcast even) may be called KAMR or WAMR
(AMR = All Media Reviews, K or W being common for the 1st Letter in a Radio Station depending on location based on where they are broadcasting from relative to being East or West of the Mississippi River I guess).

Doing the same Month/Season multiple times? yes because some albums/releases will not necessarily be included due to the song/time limit. So going back to a month/season would make sense depending on how committed I get. It may be several years though before the same month/season is done again.

Research? while I've done a lot, there's still a lot to do of course. I estimated, it's approximately 720 Months/Seasons going back to 1965 through the present. I will do as much as I can, but also may do some on the fly aka I have many of them in order and listed, but will miss some, and then go back at some point. Hence that among other reasons to plan to do the same Month/Season again eventually.

Pop Music History Website (1958-2016, Billboard Top 5's)

https://pudding.cool/2017/03/music-history/index.html

I shared this the other day on Social Media and some forums, after seeing on the dreamtheaterforums.

It had myself and my wife kind of addicted for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, until it unfortunately crashed her 2012 Macbook Pro (she's not a PC person, and I am, but regardless, 2012 sadly, kind of says it all at this point in that she needs a new Mac laptop).

Pick any year and it goes through week-by-week, month-by-month, etc showing the top 5 songs, playing #1, which I believe is from Billboard.

It starts at 1958 and goes all the way up through the end of 2016 I guess.

Seeing the mid and even late 90's on, it was reminder, like many of the WatchMojo lists for music, of how gawd awful Popular Music, and specifically the stuff that charted/people bought, the last 20 years or so.

Many of the songs from 2000's that literally spent months at #1, I had never heard, or even heard-of the artist, lol.

Even stuff like Coldplay or whatever, didn't unseat some of them.

But the counter to that is looking at the charts in the 80's or a lot of the late 60's and 70's, it's neat to see certain songs take down others, or not be able to for the #1 song. Beatles vs Monkees, Michael Jackson vs Madonna.

And the Bee Gees, good lord, between their own hits beyond Stayin Alive, they had something like 12 #1's. And then the solo members/Gibbs brothers had a number of them in the late 70's early 80's. And I guess also some of the #1's that were from others were actually written by some of the Bee Gees.

Talk about dominating the Charts.

Why when Watchmojo Did a Top 10 Billboard #1's for each decade, it was baffling none of their songs were in there. 1 comment said because the list was for "Rock" which the Bee Gees weren't, but stupid semantic arguments didn't really reflect their domination of the charts at all.


Now, and I posted to this site's twitter account, they should try and setup another 1 of these for ALBUMS charted, which I think may not be highly better, but still worth comparing to for the last 2 decades, and of course the "Album Era" per 1967-1975 especially.

But this site is not exclusively for music, it's like a graphing statistical display analysis site for any number of topics, so Music may not be a priority necessarily. But if they do do an ALBUMS one eventually, I'll try and pass it along of course.
