Freya Skye discography table taken from Wikipedia. Where you would normally expect to find official charts, you will find airplay charts from Canada, Denmark & Portugal (and the Canada one is just the pop format) and New Zealand's Hot Tracks chart which notably populates with the 30 odd biggest new releases that tend to get nowhere near the official charts. Surprisingly, her #88 peak for "Silent Treatment" on the Billboard Hot 100 is real.
Slay The Spire 2 screenshot There's too much to alt-text, but it's Regent on Ascension 10, fighting an Act 3 boss with the Music Box relic highlighted. That relic creates an Ethereal copy of your first attack played each turn, the exhaust pile is shown, with 6 Bombardment+s, because this particular relic ensures you will get a new one every turn

Quote tweet: "The music industry isn't entirely plants-" of a tweet 'remember when billie forgot to renew her autoplay contract and birds of a feather lost over 700k streams on a random monday crying emoji crying emoji'. That tweet includes an image of global Spotify streaming data on Nov 3rd, 2025 and shows "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" having declined 700,000+ streams while the songs around it have all gained 300,000+.
ARIA Chart for the date 18/11/1990. The new #1 single is "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite

This week's ARIA Chart top 2, which sees "Man I Need" return for a 20th week at #1 after being knocked off by "Rein Me In" for a single week, which drops back down to #2.
"Dracula", a Tame Impala song I don't think is very good is up to #8 (from #15) on this week's ARIA Chart. The last Australian song to hit the top 10 was Dom Dolla's "Saving Up" in early 2024, the last Australian song to hit the top 9 was The Kid LAROI's "Love Again" in early 2023.

Tetris 99 gameplay. Everyone's frantically trying to stay afloat and I'm just trying to figure out how to clear the board again.

Series of boxplots covering the release years of the top 100 most streamed songs of Spotify, as captured on yearly intervals on Jan 1st of each year. The continuing trend is that the boxplot expands in both directions as the years go on. Yes I wrote the same alt text last year but it's still true, trust me
screenshot from the AFL website playing the 2025 Grand Final. The scores are 7.9.51 for Geelong and 16.13.109 for Brisbane, who have laid down 52 points in the last 20 odd minutes of play with more to come. Bailey Smith thinks he has the clearance but Cam Rayner is coming up behind like a rampaging bull. Darcy Fort currently has the greatest seat in the house. I would have done the Lachie Neale bit (you know the one) if he hadn't just tarnished the moment.
triple j's Hottest 100 votes. There's a nice dark blue skyline image this year. These are some songs released in 2025 I'm rather fond of. Balu Brigada - Backseat Confidence Man & JADE - gossip Folk Bitch Trio - The Actor Laufey - Tough Luck Magdalena Bay - Second Sleep The Marias - Back To Me PinkPantheress - Stateside Sonny Fodera & Clementine Douglas - Tell Me Stella Donnelly - Laying Low WAAX - HANDS
The cover art to the very popular or very unpopular (depending on whom you ask!) 2025 Geese album titled "Getting Killed". It's overlayed with subtitles from Ace Attorney that say '...Merry Christmas.'. The joke is that the original quote is accompanied by POV: a gun is pointed at you, and that's also what's going on for the Geese album cover. This is the only Geese discourse I'm doing this year although I think I found a roundabout way to bring them up on my blog 4 weeks in the future.
3 panels of Simpsons screenshots depicting that scene where Bart appears to be dead for a bait and switch 'Mom, Dad, Dirca's streaming the Banjo game with cars' '(both gasping)' 'That's right! Diddy Kong Racing!'
don't make me alt text this, it's just slop.
It's the Calvin & Hobbes meme about isekai except I made it about folk music.
Entire Aotearoa Albums Chart run for an Eagles compilation that maybe some of the people streaming have even heard of.
ARIA top 10 singles for October 13 2025, it's all Taylor Swift all the time, you know this in the moment but maybe historically that won't be as obvious.
Photo I took tonight at the Sarah Blasko show where she played her first two albums in full.
Last.fm listening stats for "Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter over the last 6 months. Listens are relatively steady but increase nearly 300% on September 10th
Screenshot of ARIA Charts for Sep 1st, 2025, new entries from #2 to #6 #2 Laufey #3 Deftones #4 Stray Kids #5 Royel Otis #6 sombr
In this dazzling, breathtaking, unbelievable screenshot, I show you that Deftones have a new album — The promotional team is not just lazy, but obvious about it. I don't want to transcribe the slop because you, dear Alt Text Reader, are too good for it.
Overlayed screenshots of the ARIA Chart showing the week of April 12th, 2021 where Justin Bieber hit #1 with "Peaches", and the week of July 21st, 2025 where Justin Bieber has debuted at #3 with "Daisies", next week potentially scoring his second lead artist #1 hit in a row that shares its name with the pluralised form of a Nintendo princess. I think he's writing "Paulines" as we speak
Doctored screenshot from video game 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' (2025), depicting the monolith but with the number 2 on it, insinuating how in September, all songs that are more than 2 years old will be removed from the chart (or Gommaged). This is a very clever reference I think.
My votes for triple j's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches "Hieronymus" by The Clouds "Hearts a Mess" by Gotye "Snakeskin" by Gyroscope "Set Fire to the Hive" by Karnivool "Overkill" by Men At Work "Raiders" by Owl Eyes "My People" by The Presets "Berlin Chair" by You Am I and a 10th song I've scrubbed out because it pertains to the time period covered on my blog :-)
Bandle results for May 1st, 2025. Initially, 90% of people are unable to recognise it, but once Europe is able to play, this drops down to 60%, before America brings it back up to 68%
Christmas songs tabulated in order of how many streams they received yesterday. The big winner is Sia's "Snowman" which received 217,013 Spotify streams yesterday, 1.675% as much as it had on Christmas Eve last year, while all others retain less than 0.5%
AFL Instagram post declaring Round 1 of the 2025 AFL Season to be the most attended round ever, with a total crowd of 431,505 across 9 games. The previous record was set in Round 1 of 2024. I attended a game in each of these rounds so it counts as me breaking my own world record. The picture alongside the text depicts Richmond's No. 1 Draft Pick Sam Lalor kicking a goal in his first ever game in the league.
Magdalena Bay performing live in Fremantle. Matt & Mica are both wearing cherry red while performing "Chaeri", I am making a pun in relation to my UFO 50 cherry obsession of 2025
UFO 50 menu with 50 cherry carts and an appropriately red background that looks like some cherries but they're actually red bubbles. For some reason I chose to leave the menu on Filter: Chronology, I guess I wasn't thinking too hard about it.
Spotify screenshot of Popular releases by the band called Radiohead. "OK Computer" and "In Rainbows" are naturally the top 2, but buoyed largely by people listening to the song "Creep", "Pablo Honey" finds itself in a baffling 3rd place ahead of "The Bends", which is listened to in full much more regularly.
Official Charts Company chart run for "Never Ever" by All Saints. It debuts at #3 in November 1997, and then spends 8 weeks hovering around the top 10 before finally getting to #1 in its 9th week. Every other All Saints #1 hit debuted at #1, as did every Robbie Williams #1 hit, and every Take That #1 hit while he was a member.

UFO 50 menu screenshot. 40/50 games have cherries which means that it's easier to list the ones that don't, and I'll do that now. 10. Devilition 12. Avianos 21. Waldorf's Journey 25. Party House 28. Rail Heist 30. Rock On! Island 32. Mortol II 37. Valbrace 45. Mini and Max 50. Cyber Owls Have not dusted off any of these games yet.
How do I alt text this image I don't know. Screenshot of UFO 50 game select screen, with 30 games cherried. Games 6, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 28, 30, 32, 37, 45, 49 & 50 have not yet been dusted off. Games 22, 27, 29, 33, 40, 42 have been played. Pilot Quest is still gold but I'm on my 13th loop so I'm getting close.
UFO 50 screenshot with all the cartridges. Games 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 31, 36, 46, 47, 48 have cherries and I'm arbitrarily highlighting my $15850 final score in Quibble Race. I still haven't dusted off 20 of the cartridges.

Billboard screenshot revealing the top two for the latest Hot 100. Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" holds #1 for a 19th non-consecutive week, keeping Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars' "Die With A Smile" locked at a #2 peak that will probably be blocked by Kendrick Lamar & Mariah Carey in the coming weeks.

ARIA Charts screenshot. Morgan Wallen's 4 week old single "Love Somebody" moves up #49->#40, while his nearly 2 year old single "Last Night" closes in from #63->#50
Visual depiction/estimation of GRAMMY Best New Artists' profile increase in 2024. Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims roughly fitting the ideal profile, Doechii, Kruangbin & RAYE arguably not yet famous enough if you consider Sabrina not big enough for the stage in 2023.
Graphic noting each time in 2020 to 2024 that "Bruises" has been performed on The Voice Australia
