For the cynics among us, #1’s and the pop charts in general seem to be a figment of corporate promotional machines. What are your favorite exceptions to this? A real bedroom bop that made it to the top of the pops? Have platforms like TikTok helped decentralize support for new tracks?

Do you ever second guess giving Hanson’s Mmmbop a 10?

Related, and sorry for the pithy question above, how do you go about rating songs? Is there a secret methodology or is it vibes? Fwiw I tend to agree within a couple points!

I love hazarding a guess in advance. I’ll admit I was way off w Hanson, but that probably says more about who I was when it came out.

On the other hand, I feel like I knew Crazy in Love was a 10 before even opening the link. It’s an 11, tbh.
