Ooh, here’s another one: Nat King Cole, Bobby Helms, Burl Ives, Brenda Lee, and Andy Williams all place songs on the Billboard Hot 100. (Really, you can look it up. It’s listed as the week of 7 January 2017, but it’s measuring sales from 25 to 31 December of the previous year.) Helms, who’s been dead for nearly twenty years, actually broke his personal record for highest Hot-100 position. If that doesn’t say something about the American people’s dissatisfaction with their current entertainment culture, I’d just like to know what would.
And Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. Don’t you dare forget that one.
