Does anyone know any songs about friends breaking up?

My only friend has been actively ignoring me since the start of march, and also ignored me when i was in one of the worst moments of my life when my grandfather passed away. We are online friends since 2021 and she kinda keeps me as a secret(? She posts her friend all over her social media like a proud mom but she only ever acknowled me one time in her close friends stories when i made a playlist for her (she even kept my username hidden) idk everything started going kinda weird when i told her i wasn't straight.

So now i just want to cry hahah

(I'm gonna put in the tags just a bunch of artists i like, feel free to recommend songs from artists who aren't tagged tho)

Year-End Poll #73 (The Finale!): 2022

[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Glass Animals, Harry Styles, The Kid Laroi, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Jack Harlow, Lotto, Justin Bieber, Kodak Black, Elton John and Dua Lipa. End description]

And now we're at the final poll. Much like the previous years, many of the songs featured here are from previous years. This is mostly due to how Billboard calculates their hits and there are other methods of calculating the charts. But since this blog focuses in Billboard, that's the metric we're going with.

It's hard to know for certain which direction pop music is headed at this moment since we're still in it. Depending on how things go, it seems like TikTok is going to continue to be a taste maker when it comes to popular music. This could also account for why pop songs are getting shorter. The "verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus" format is not set in stone. In fact if you followed this blog since the beginning, you've seen the beginning and rise of this pop song format in the late 1950's.

Also from what I can see, it looks like pop music is taking a more meta direction, with overt influences and references to recent pop music history. This can be seen in both stylistic choices, such as the synth-pop influences in Harry Styles' As It Was, to the way samples are used. Jack Harlow's First Class samples previous poll entry, Fergie's Glamorous, and Latto's Big Energy samples Mariah Carey's Fantasy -- which samples The Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love.

The charts are admittedly in an awkward place right now. I'm looking at the Hot 100 right now and I'm having trouble putting together a narrative (other than "wow, people forgave Morgan Wallen fast lol"). Between the lockdown, shifting tastes and listening habits of audiences, economic factors, and the splintering of the streaming industry, "pop music" doesn't mean the same thing it did fifty years ago. Or even twenty years ago. But between influences from the changing political climates, the rise and fall of different genres, developments in music technology, and the question over the cost of music, the one consistent thing about pop music is that it isn't consistent.

Thank you to everyone who took part in these polls. I'll post a follow-up post shortly wrapping things up and discussing the future of this blog.

Say what you want, but this isn't only the gayest Christmas song of all time, but it's also my gay Christmas song for Viktuuri because that's so them. I'm not kidding when I say that I think of Yuuri and Viktor and Makkachin celebrating Christmas in their home whenever I hear this song.

So kiss me under the mistletoe Pour out the wine let’s toast and pray for December snow I know there’s been pain this year but it’s time to let it go Next year you never know, but for now Merry Christmas We’ll dance in the kitchen while embers glow We’ve both known love, but this love that we got is the best of all I wish you could see you through my eyes then you would know My god you look beautiful right now Merry Christmas

(Yes, I'm aware that both compete at Nationals during the holidays. In addition to that, they probably wouldn't practice Western Christmas traditions. In Japan, Christmas is a dating day for couples that includes dining at KFC, and Russians celebrate Christmas in January. But still, Merry Christmas my Christmas song for them. This is just me projecting my own gay Christmas dreams onto my OTP)

Fave male artists?

I’m going old school here and saying Billy Joel and Queen are my all time favorite male artists / acts. I also like Elton John and Journey. I feel like I know a good chunk of their discographies

Honestly, I don’t listen to a lot of male artists, like in depth. I don’t know their deep cuts or anything, but some more recent male artists I like are Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes and I like Ed Sheeran, but I have to say, what I have heard of his last couple of projects have been huge disappointments for me. I love him when he does his singer / songwriter thing, but the mall music he’s been churning out lately is not for me

Riley and Lucas Merry Christmas

Here is my Riley and Lucas Christmas Video and thevsong that I used in this video was Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John.

[denimbex1986]

'Christmas has come early in the UK charts as almost three quarters of songs in the top 40 are festive tunes.

Wham!'s Last Christmas has topped the singles chart for the fourth time, followed by Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You in second place.

A week after the death of The Pogues singer Shane MacGowan, Fairytale of New York has risen to number four.

It still has time to reach the top spot for the first time, with two weeks until Christmas number one is revealed.

Released in 1987 and featuring Kirsty MacColl, the track originally peaked at number two, being narrowly beaten to festive first place by the Pet Shop Boys' Always On My Mind.

In total, there are eight festive songs in this week's top 10, including Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree at number six, and Ed Sheeran and Elton John's hit Merry Christmas at number seven.

Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Andrew Ridgeley, one half of Wham!, said it felt like "Christmas has indeed come early" and he was "delighted that Last Christmas has once again reached the zenith of the Official Singles Chart".

George Michael and Ridgeley's 1984 festive song broke a record in 2021 for the longest time taken to reach number one.

It reached the top spot for a second time in 2022, and for a third at the very beginning of 2023.

It has never been number one in Christmas week itself, however. But that could change this year after YouTubers and charity fundraisers LadBaby - who have had the Christmas number one for five years in a row - decided not to enter the 2023 race.

The 28 festive songs in the top 40 include Ariana Grande's Santa Tell Me at 11, Michael Bublé's Holly Jolly Christmas at 21 and Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody at number 39 on the 50th anniversary of its release...'

TW: Binge Eating. [SIGH]

The weekend sucked and included a whole cherry pie.

Yesterday included like 4 bags of some kind of chips and... a whole bag of chocolate covered cashews.

Here is to a better day/week.

I saw my evil ex on Facebook with a new profile and it was a kick in the ass to keep going.

Was up really early this morning.

Focus on lots of water. Coffee. Had warm lemon water.

my dad has been having the same argument with my mum and my aunt for at least ten years now wherein they try to draw up a list of artists they consider 'musical geniuses' but cannot agree on who deserves a spot on the list. he refuses to admit bob dylan despite the cases they make and they in turn refuse to admit the collective of roxy music. it's picked back up at every family gathering it's never gotten anywhere and it's lasted longer than two of my aunt's husbands
