The Sun Also Rises

AOTY: Mahashmashana by Father John Misty. Probably my song of the year as well. 
 
but there are many close ones: Hit Me Hard and Soft, X’s by Cigarettes After Sex, Romance by Fontaines D.C. 
 
Its honestly been an incredible year for music 

I haven't listened to any of these, and I don't want to, only the charli one so I guess I vote for that one?

The race for Album of the Year (AOTY) and Song of the Year (SOTY) has begun, the first lists have been published:

https://www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2024/
Last year, A&W won, and Ocean Blvd came in an honorable third place, though the critics rating was rather mediocre. I give Tough some chances this year to land in the top 50 of the SOTY list.
 
So what are your favorites this year?

Going off this with a little background about Dr. Oz for anyone curious about his history (and I’m sure there’s more) -

RFK jr. was on The Dr. Oz show a few months ago. They believe thimerosal used in some flu shots (Adult tetanus boosters and one type of meningococcal vaccine for adolescents are the only others that contain thimerosal) is linked to autism. Thimerosal has a type of mercury with a harmless amount. Mostly used as a preservative and prevents microbial growth 
 
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/thimerosal.html#:~:text=Research does not show any link between thimerosal and autism.
It’s been slowly removed from vaccines as a precaution as medicine advances. The CDC has stated there is no evidence linked to autism. Dr. Oz even says in this video it was “implicated” and “possible” as a link, but ultimately “discredited” yet still goes around saying it’s harmful. 
 
 
Dr. Oz has been criticized for years sharing recommendations that are unsubstantiated. He’s famously suggested weight loss supplements that have no evidence and even tweeted astrology is a “valuable tool” for medical information. I personally find astrology interesting, but using it as legitimate tool for medical information advice especially coming from a doctor is extremely concerning

there was a study done examining these health recommendations on medical talk shows which includes Dr. Oz.

TLDR: anyways - mr. brain worm with no medical background as secretary of health and human services working with pseudoscientific TV show host dr. in charge of Medicare + Medicaid both known to spread misinformation is comical but extremely concerning. 

Her honeymoon account reached 20 million followers, the same amount she had when she deactivated her Lana Del Rey account

BABY DEL REY

Period! Love their friendship and work together - I hope there will be more collaborations in the future!
Although Lana wasn’t listed within the Top 25, she was given an honourable mention. Here’s what Billboard stated for her honourable mention: 
Her 21st Century in Pop: “This is the reason for half you bitches’ existence – including mine,” Billie Eilish informed the crowd during her guest appearance at Lana Del Rey’s 2024 Coachella headlining set. Well put: Del Rey was as influential as any artist of the past 15 years in changing the overall direction of pop music – providing a transformative downtempo alternative to the turbo-pop that ruled in the early ‘10s with something heavier, more theatrical and much more narratively murky, but all still just as alluring and world-building. You’d have an easier time building a list of major pop stars who haven’trightly paid homage to the Venice Bitch in the years since. 
Why Not Top 25? Formidable as the Cult of Lana has become over the past decade-plus, it is still mostly a cult – her actual top 40 presence has been more minimal than you’d think, with her only two Hot 100 top 10 appearances coming via an uncharacteristic EDM remix [Summertime Sadness remix] and a chill sesh alongside the world’s biggest artist. [Snow on the Beach with Taylor Swift]

Lana x The Weeknd collab produced by Mike Dean coming soon

ABELANA ALIVE AND BREATHING I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE!

Lana doesn’t need that bullshit title… we all know that she’s an influent queen 

Abel asking the real question, the current pop scene is majorly influenced by Lana
