Most exciting thing for me on the actual show is #100 and where Wham! and Mariah end up. Won’t be able to listen along unfortunately but will try to follow the thread

Biography

When Tyler, The Creator first started gaining national notoriety around 2008, it would’ve been easy to dismiss him as cheap shock—a snotty kid willing to push every button (mass murder, rape, cannibalism) just to get a little attention. Within a few years, he’d evolved into one of hip-hop’s genuine polymaths, a self-contained brand who not only rapped, wrote, produced, and art-directed but also designed clothes and created television shows; whose vision—violent, surreal, sarcastic, and disarmingly introspective—captured the id of an audience who didn’t know how to relate to their feelings but weren’t going to keep them in any longer. Raised in Los Angeles County, Tyler (born Tyler Okonma in 1991) started experimenting with music in his early teens, cofounding the Odd Future collective in 2007, a group whose members included fellow iconoclasts Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean, and Syd Tha Kyd. Influenced by the grab-bag eclecticism of Pharrell Williams and his own tirelessly messed-up inner monologues, Tyler’s official debut, Goblin, came out in 2011. (“Wow, life’s a cute b***h full of estrogen,” he rapped on the title track. “And when she gives you lemons, n***a, throw ’em at pedestrians.”) Gritty, nightmarish, and barbed, the album established him as a kind of antihero: an artist whose bad reputation only made his fans love him more. Wolf (2013) and Cherry Bomb (2015) explored similar psychological territory with increasing nuance; his productions got more sophisticated, too, exploring soul-jazz (“FIND YOUR WINGS”), Latin music (“Tamale”), and ’90s R&B (“Awkward”) in ways that were both discordant and colorful, a full rainbow of bad feeling. In 2017, he released Flower Boy, an album whose vulnerability and eclecticism represented a major step up—a maturation from young punk to complex young man. It ended up being nominated for a Grammy. Meanwhile, he’d found the time to create not one but three television shows (Loiter Squad, Nuts + Bolts, The Jellies!), launch a vibrant streetwear line (Golf Wang), and spearhead an annual festival called the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. Like Kanye and Pharrell before him, and artists such as the BROCKHAMPTON collective after, Tyler represents a new chapter in hip-hop, toying with identity and sexuality, and drawing on influences—skate culture, therapy speak, the kaleidoscopic weirdness of life on the internet—that help to expand rap’s vocabulary while still keeping continuity with the past. In 2019, he released IGOR, his most mood-driven, soul-baring work to date. After experimenting with Technicolor funk and R&B, Tyler returned to his more linear hip-hop roots with CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, a constellation of tightly wound flows, dynamic production, and sleek wordplay. Laced with narration from DJ Drama and features from artists like 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Pharrell, Brent Faiyaz, and more, it was Tyler at his most eclectic—and somehow his most cohesive, too. He expanded on that vision with 2023's CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale, a deluxe edition that doubled down on the hard raps and Tyler's status as a modern icon. - Apple Music

Tyler, The Creator

not shocked at all

As always, ahead of the main show, please bear with me, especially as we get to the weekly chart being revealed - I'm one person hosting a show that involves upwards of 150 prep posts today...!!!

Thanks for the pre-show Joseph! It's a shame 'The Subway' missed the top 100 and 'Survive' has recently gone gold so hasn't done badly either. 'twilight zone' was my favourite of those featured.

(was driving so couldn't post along)

This is going to be a big Friday for me. Like this time of year.

Biography

Leon Thomas makes narcotizing progressive R&B as a solo artist, and is an all-around collaborator with a Grammy to show for it. The soulful singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist got his start as a young actor on Broadway and in Hollywood. His role on Nickelodeon's Victorious gave rise to his first commercial recordings and songwriting credits on the chart-topping album debut by co-star Ariana Grande. Three mixtapes and an EP from 2012 through 2018 established Thomas as a solo artist as he clocked studio time with the likes of Toni Braxton and Babyface, Kehlani, and Post Malone. He earned a Grammy nomination as co-writer of Rick Ross' "Gold Roses," and subsequently won the Best R&B Song award for SZA's number two pop hit "Snooze," by the time he delivered Electric Dusk (2023) and the charting MUTT (2024). - Apple Music

WOAH?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oof for Dakota but good for freshness! This presenter is going to get annoying, should've been me smh

i was expecting much higher for ‘Mutt’

“Mutt” has done very well to hold on for a middling hit - I thought it had no chance at the mid year point.

MUTT's a decent track, surprised it made it in actually but not complaining, especially given it's one extra fresh hit from 2025!

Here we gooooo.

Glad we are starting with a hit established in 2025 instead of an old song.

I wasn't even expecting for "MUTT" to make it in. It must've still be doing significant streams, even after going onto ACR.

Great song, glad it held over Another Love (presumably) which had been on enough Year End lists

Biography

After the dissolution of their first group, a mod outfit called Graduate, in 1981, childhood friends Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal (along with keyboardist Ian Stanley) set out to form England’s next big synth band. But while they were aiming for Duran Duran, they ended up with “Mad World," a darkly relatable song that offered an early sign that Tears for Fears were more contemplative than the boilerplate New Wave band. After all, they took their name from Arthur Janov's book on primal therapy and imbued their lyrics with many of his ideas, like the lines concerning dreams about dying on 'Mad World.'" Their 1983 debut album, The Hurting, earned them a lot of success in the UK, but it was their 1985 follow-up LP, Songs from the Big Chair, that introduced their sobering pop to the world. First, there was the brash “Shout,” which paired synths with a catchy chorus, metal guitars, and a rumination on political protest, and then the plaintive sing-along hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” which tapped into Cold War anxiety. Four years later, they returned with a soulful, Beatles-esque sound for 1989’s The Seeds of Love, featuring "Sowing the Seeds of Love," the band’s reaction against Thatcherism and most overtly political single to date. Smith left the band shortly thereafter, but Orzabal persevered, releasing Elemental in 1993, buoyed by the pop-rock anthem “Break It Down Again,” and 1995’s Raoul and the Kings of Spain. After Gary Jules’ cover of “Mad World” was featured in 2001’s Donnie Darko, Smith and Orzabal reunited for 2004’s aptly titled Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. That title may have sounded final, but it wasn’t the end. Eighteen years later, the two returned with The Tipping Point, their seventh studio album. They’d toiled on the record for years, working with several contemporary songwriters—but only when the duo sat down together and began writing on acoustic guitars did the album begin to flow. “Albums for us should be a journey,” they told Apple Music. The Tipping Point proves that if there’s a will to keep going, no journey is ever finished. - Apple Music
