MY TOP 3 RELEASES THIS WEEK

If you know me, you know there's nothing i love more than hot new releases i play on repeat until someone has to stop me. Here are my top 3 releases this past week in order! At #3 we have "Crystal Strawberry" by Tory Lanez. Tory proves time and time again just why he is one of the best in the industry and this latest hit is indicative of just that. at #2 I have "Vocation" by Ozuna and David Guetta. The House music genre is slowly becoming my most played genres and I have ZERO complaints. Something about David Guetta just makes people want to get up and dance especially with this latest release of his. And Finally, Tate McRae's "Exes" tops of my list coming in at the #1 spot. Tate McRae is taking the internet by storm by becoming the most viral artist on Tik Tok this past month (and for good reason too). At the rate she is going, she will be the most popular artist of 2023, no doubt in my mind! Thanks for reading and as always, stay tuned in folks!

History in music on this day 11/19!

There is a LOT of history in music on this date and I'd be doing a disservice to you all by keeping it to myself so here it is. On this day in 1994, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers play "You Don't Know How it feels" and "Honeybee" on Saturday Night Live with Dave Grohl on the drums, who was considering joining the band full time! Such an iconic moment for the band on one of the largest stages on TV at the time. Next, in 1982 LED Zeppelin release their final studio album, "Coda", which was a collection of unused songs recorded before drummer John Bonham died in 1980. This release was very emotional for the band and their avid fans and will go down as one of my favorite albums of all time! Now for one of the more crazier events, in 2002, while greeting fans from a fifth-floor hotel balcony in Berlin, Michael Jackson SHOCKS onlookers by dangling his newborn son Prince Michael II over the side of the railing. One of the more jaw-dropping actions taken by the musician and changed a lot of opinions. That's all for now folks, tune in next time here on Gettuned in!
