I recently watched a YouTube video by a channel called “The Man in Me” which listed out the fifty best-selling albums of all time. It was a far more random list than I was expecting – some of the classics were there as expected, but other albums seemed really inconsequential and out of place. WhatContinue reading “Top 50 Best Selling Albums Of All Time – Ranked”

20 Random Songs Ranked [3]
It’s time for the third installment in the “Matt shows off random songs he likes that he otherwise wouldn’t have showed off”. Rules are the same as always – I put my “Liked Songs” Spotify playlist on shuffle and ranked the first twenty songs (maximum three per artist, and no repeats from my previous lists).Continue reading “20 Random Songs Ranked [3]”

1978 – 25000 people die in an earthquake in Tabar, Iran. Notable films such as “Grease”, “Deer Hunter” and “Halloween” premier.

Best Album Of Every Year Since 1960
I’ve done the best films of every year since 1960, so it’s only fair that I give music the same treatment. Same rules as before – this ranking is a mixture of public opinion as well as my own, and I’m only human so I’m bound to miss a few classics here and there. AndContinue reading “Best Album Of Every Year Since 1960”

I decided to rank the Billboard Top 100 All-Time Greatest Hits (as of January 2023, when I began this colossal undertaking) based on my personal tastes – this will definitely annoy aContinue reading “Billboard Top 100 All-Time Greatest Hits – Every Track Ranked”
