Top Comments of this video!! :3
LOVE the idea of having Rick do a "50 years ago this week Top 10 analysis" ! Out of curiosity, i checked it out - week of August 18th 1973:
1. Diana Ross - Touch Me In The Morning
2. Wings - Live And Let Die
3. Stories - Brother Louie
4. Maureen McGovern - The Morning After
5. Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
6. Jim Croce - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
7. Gilbert O'Sullivan - Get Down
8. Helen Reddy - Delta Dawn
9. Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider
10. Chicago - Feelin' Stronger Everyday
Now, i can't say positions 4,7,8, or 9 do anything for me, but i find way more sonic, rythmic and melodic variety in those 10 songs.

The 2nd Olivia Rodrigo song has a recognisable 90s grunge/alt. sound to me. And regarding the Dua Lipa song: I'm more and more convinced that pop songs always work great when they take a lot from the Disco era.... cause it's Disco, it's been working for decades and everybody loves it, even if they say they hate it.

Love this! Iām a 50-something musician who loves to stay up to date with modern pop. Your comments are spot on. Love how you pick out the chords so easily - since they are frequently so common. But I agree with you so much on the skilled songwriters and producers. I love a well written pop song with great production. They always make me smile. š¤©

The pop charts used to be stylistically and sonically diverse. Now it feels like there's only one genre represented, and the genre is "production tricks". Take a look at a top 10 from 1983. Every song sounded like what it was - distinctive from its writing to its playing to its recorded sound. The pop charts now feel like hanging out at Walmart late at night. Some kind of soulless, post-apocalyptic, plastic nightmare.

It's fun to hear a seasoned session musician deconstruct the current hot play list. I personally have no idea how to judge whether a song is any good - I just know if I like or don't like it. But one thing I'll say - the Dua Lipa song, "Dance the Night Away," from the Barbie movie is a genuine perfect pop song, and there are so damn few of those around anymore. That song worms its way into your brain - and stays! And you never get tired of it. That song will be around for a long time.

Ever think that you're missing something by ignoring today's pop music? No, me neither.
