Now you know why they told everyone to stock up on food and water....
I hope you like Civil Wars, because you are in one!
Westerberg drew on his relationship with his younger sister Mary when writing this one.
📈 The Replacements "Merry Go Round" holds #1 again, marking its third week on top overall.
Does knowing the family connection make the song more powerful, or does it work better without the backstory?
Billy Gibbons said ZZ Top rediscovered their blues roots when their high-tech equipment arrived late for the Recycler sessions.
📈 "Concrete and Steel" is #1 for a fourth week.
Does this sound like a return to the blues, or more '80s synth-rock?
"Cheers"

“I don't hate you, boy!”
Timothy James McIlrath (born November 3, 1978, in Indianapolis, Indiana) is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter best known as the co-founder and frontman of Rise Against.

Queen and Bowie weren't asked before their "Under Pressure" bass line wound up in this hit.
📈 Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" hits #1, replacing Janet Jackson.
Clever reinvention or a blatant rip-off?
The music video turns a bookstore crush into a romantic fantasy aboard a Chicago train.
📈 Survivor "I Can't Hold Back" holds #1 for a second straight week.
Is that Risky Business-inspired video genuinely romantic, or pure '80s cheese?
Sarah starts out as an ordinary waitress who has no idea why a killing machine wants her dead.
🎞️ "The Terminator" repeats at #1.
Is this vulnerable Sarah more compelling than the hardened warrior in T2?

It flopped as "European Queen." Then the label changed one word and everything took off.
📈 Billy Ocean "Caribbean Queen" hits #1, replacing Stevie Wonder.
Was that rename marketing genius, or did the label just get lucky?

Bo Derek's character insists on making love to Ravel's "Boléro." Apparently, romance needs a soundtrack.
🎞️ "10" spends a third week at #1.
Is that scene comic genius, or one of the most ridiculous sex scenes ever filmed?

Robin Scott wanted to celebrate pop music while poking fun at how disposable it had become.
📈 M "Pop Muzik" hits #1, replacing Herb Alpert.
Is this clever satire, or exactly the kind of novelty record it was mocking?
For a band with punk roots, their breakout song is a laid-back, two-chord acoustic groove.
📈 Sublime "What I Got" stays at #1 for a second week.
Is it Sublime's best song, or did radio embrace their safest one?
Sammy Hagar admitted he loved Eddie's music on this track and wished he'd gotten to sing it.
📈 Van Halen "Me Wise Magic" repeats at #1.
Would Sammy have done it better, or was this pure David Lee Roth territory?
