Synopsis

Unexpected Chart Hits explores how certain songs, seemingly destined for obscurity, unexpectedly rise to the top of the pop music charts. It argues that this phenomenon isn't random but a complex interplay of factors, including viral social media trends and the transformative power of remixes. For instance, a seemingly forgotten track can experience a resurgence by appealing to new audiences through strategic reinterpretations. 

 
The book analyzes chart data, streaming statistics, and social media trends to understand these unexpected ascensions. It also uses case studies and interviews with artists and industry experts. The book stands out by shifting focus from traditionally promoted hits to those that defy conventional industry wisdom.

 
The book methodically unpacks its argument, starting with a clear definition of "unexpected chart hits." Subsequent sections explore the impact of social media, the role of remixes, and how cultural shifts can unexpectedly elevate certain songs. This makes the book particularly valuable for music industry professionals, marketing specialists, and anyone interested in how music trends emerge.

Cultural Repercussions -...

Bradley J. Birzer

A revised & expanded examination of the words and ideas of the man of letters and drummer extraordinaire of the rock band Rush. In January 2020, the world lost not only one of the greatest drummers, but also one of the most insightful lyricists. And a brilliant writer. Though Neil Peart was universally lauded as drummer for legendary rock band Rush, few studies have been devoted to his writings. Yet, Peart was very much a man of his words. He wrote lyrics, travelogues, essays, cultural criticism, short stories, and fantasy novels. The themes in his writings are timeless: personal journeys, exploration, excellence, growth, philosophy, art, satisfaction and happiness, religion, politics, individualism, natural history, life, love, loss, redemption, and beauty. Peart wanted every person to persevere through individual trials, find unique gifts and abilities and, ultimately, true happiness. He did not just profess such things; he lived them. Never satisfied with second best or any form of defeat, Peart challenged himself to live up to his own philosophy. And he always succeeded with grace, which earned him even more fervent admirers. Since his death in 2020, Neil Peart has continued to inspire thousands through his music, his words, and his example. This book—revised and expanded to incorporate Peart’s final years—carefully examines the influence that his life, his witness, and his words have had on others. Neil Peart lived life to the fullest, and he made us each better for it. “Includes some of the strongest analysis of Peart’s lyrics that you’ll find, and does a rigorous job of nailing down the tenets of Peart’s ever-evolving philosophy.” —PROG Magazine

David Bowie's Low

Hugo Wilcken

Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge.  There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World.Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.

See What You're Missing - New...

Will Gompertz

Taking us into the minds of artists—from contemporary stars to old masters—See What You're Missing shows us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. 
 
 
 
Artists are expert lookers: they have learned to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on autopilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvelous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But that doesn't have to be the case. 
 
 
 
In his inimitable engaging style, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds of artists—from contemporary stars to old masters, the well-known to the lesser-so, and from around the world—to show us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. 
 
 
 
In See What You're Missing we learn, for example, how Hasegawa Tohaku can help us to see beauty, how David Hockney helps us to see color, and how Frida Kahlo can help us see pain. In doing so we come to know the exhilarating feeling of being truly alive. See What You're Missing is at once entertaining and enlightening art history while delivering empowering new insights to its listener.

TENET
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Tenet is a 2020 science fiction action-thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows a secret agent, known only as the Protagonist, who is recruited by a mysterious organization called Tenet. Tasked with preventing a global catastrophe, he learns to manipulate time through "inversion," a process that reverses the entropy of objects and people. As the Protagonist teams up with his enigmatic ally, Neil, they navigate a complex world of espionage, time manipulation, and hidden agendas. The film explores themes of fate, free will, and the cyclical nature of time, all wrapped in high-octane action sequences and mind-bending concepts.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Filming the car chase sequence took three weeks and required the crew to close off eight kilometers of a six-lane highway in Tallinn. Cars were shot moving both forward and in reverse during the chase.”
“When the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in spring 2020, the film's score was about eighty-percent finished. The main effect was on an orchestral session that was scheduled for April, which was completed later by individual recordings of musicians at their homes.”
“Actor Robert Pattinson shared that there was much secrecy around the project before its release. He could only read the script in a locked office at Warner Bros. studios. Michael Caine, his co-star, wasn't allowed to read the entire screenplay, only his scenes. Caine admitted he had no idea what the movie was about.”
