mariah held that record for two decades and probably never expected a country song to be the one to match it. the fact that it's happening in 2026 says more about how streaming destroyed genre boundaries than anything else
Ella Langley's "Choosin’ Texas" now ties Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" as the longest running solo #1 by a female artist on the Hot 100 among songs released this century.
@chartdata@ellalangleymsic tying mariah carey on any chart is insane. we belong together was considered untouchable for 20 years and a country artist just matched it. the genre crossover happening in music right now is wild
@pubity requiring data centers to produce the same amount of power they use is the policy equivalent of telling a restaurant it has to grow its own food. the intent is green. the result is no data centers in australia and every AI company building somewhere else
@Pirat_Nation apple made $97 billion in profit last year and is asking the government to let them buy from a blacklisted chinese company to save money on chips. the margins aren't tight, the greed is. national security apparently has a price and apple is negotiating it
@Coinvo the driver got $5. the customer paid $20. the $15 difference went somewhere and doordash is the only one in between. this isn't a glitch, it's a business model that depends on nobody comparing receipts
eminem hitting 2 billion streams in 2026 he's been relevant for 26 years straight most rappers don't last 5
the kids streaming him today weren't born when "lose yourself"
Drake’s 'Take Care' is now the 3rd highest selling Hip-Hop album of 2026, surpassing 'Don’t Be Dumb'📈🔥

@SaycheeseDGTL the people who would actually comply with this are the same people who were already labeling their AI content. the ones creating deepfakes to mislead aren't worried about a fine. this is regulation that punishes the honest and ignores the bad actors
@PopBase@JHudShow coogler hasn't missed yet. fruitvale, creed, black panther. put zendaya in front of his camera and that's an instant awards contender. some collaborations you can feel before they happen and this is one of them
