My YouTube wrapped is pretty much as expected, though not with the two I thought being in first place.
Top 5 artists:
Survivor
Mike & The Mechanics
Tears For Fears
Pet Shop Boys
Squeeze
Top 5 songs:
Tempted by Squeeze
Sugar Sugar by The Archies
Breakaway by Big Pig
Electric Boogie from a Reggae compilation album
Automatic by the Pointer Sisters
I think Survivor is first for artists because I added two "new" songs to my playlist. No idea why Tempted is number one for songs, like, at all. I listened to Pet Shop Boys It's A Sin for longer in single periods of time than total for Tempted. I am confused.

Marcia Griffiths' "Electric Slide" Featured In "How I Met Your Father" Season Premiere!
It’s always a good time when it comes to watching your favourite TV shows. No matter the taste, there’s something for everybody.

The spinoff of the popular “How I Met Your Mother” series has featured a few hit song on its soundtrack, but for the season premiere, it featured a global Reggae classic.

Remembering Duane Eddy 1938-2024
Legendary rock guitarist Duane Eddy has died at 86. He was an early rock guitar virtuoso. His song "Rebel Rouser" was featured in Forest Gump, but his real mark on music history was "Peter Gunn". The song has been in countless movie soundtracks and covered numerous times, my favorite version was the mashup of Henry Mancini's version with The Police's "Every Breath You Take" in a 2001 episode of The Sopranos.
Eddy and George Harrison
George Harrison was among the many who counted him as an influence. He appeared on Eddy's 1987 album Duane Eddy, which also featured Paul McCartney, who co-produced some tracks. Eddy covered McCartney's "Rockestra Orchestral".

Remembering Richard Tandy 1948-2024
Musician Richard Tandy has died at 76. He was the keyboardist for Electric Light Orchestra (better known as ELO) from 1971-1986, 2000-2001, and 2014-2017. Jeff Lynne was the mastermind of ELO and got a lot of the credit but Tandy contributed to all but two ELO albums.
ELO's hits like "Livin' Thing" (featured in Boogie Nights), "Mr. Blue Sky" (featured in countless soundtracks including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and "Don't Bring Me Down" are staples of classic rock radio! ELO's 2001 album Zoom featured George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Tandy also played on Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction still of Tandy
Rock bands that are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at the end of April. The only representative of rock music among the 2024 nominees is Ozzy Osbourne, for whom we will be rooting furiously. However, the rest of the nominees are far from rock'n'roll, which every year causes discontent among fans.
In the cards, we remembered the brightest rockers who have already entered the Hall
Crazy Train" on xylophones is what we all need on the weekend!
Dude I am so surprised that I haven’t straight up broken my controller yet with how many times I’ve had the shit scared out of me by either stalkers or the explodey things(fuck those guys)
