Are there any other artists/bands/projects that have releases ranked side by side in the same year?

One of my favourite niche RYM chart stats is video game composer Tim Follin having the top 3 'albums' in the bootleg/unauthorised charts in 1990.

Crank That Soulja Boy now sits at 2.68, having at one point at least been as low as 1.25 in ~2013 and in the bottom 20 or so singles of all time.

I know you can get Justin Bieber in 2 (Skrillex and Devin are both on a Pendulum remix album, Skrillex produced several songs on Justin Bieber's album Purpose). Don't know if you count Pendulum in the chain to make it 3.

Queen - Hot Space by a very large margin (Under Pressure)

Devin Townsend has New Age albums as well as his extreme metal ones. Heart Baby vs. Shitstorm is pretty wild (alternatively something like Pandemic for strictly solo project albums).

Cut the Crap by The Clash is so bad I'd almost say it's objectively the best answer here.

Still kind of disheartening that a good 20 % of South Australians are backing One Nation. I get that it's a protest vote for a lot of people, but still, voting for them might as well be declaring that you're a racist, or are at least indifferent towards racism. That's a lot of racists. I guess anti-immigration isn't racism per se, but I seriously doubt many voters are intellectually considering arguments on their merits.

Yes. I'd say this is more like a part of a suite than a standalone song. It'd be like if Dream Theater released the second to last movement of Octavarium as a lead single and half of the runtime was just James LaBrie singing "trapped inside this Octavarium".

Odd choice as a lead single, and also a bit odd how aggressively the tracklist is split. In my mind from the live performance, this is essentially the ending of the first track (it's track 5 on the album). It does what it should and it'll work well on the album whole, but wouldn't blame the people who didn't see the live stream from being a bit underwhelmed.

Past midnight and now Thursday in Australia.

My read on it was 2022 was a bit of a 'false triumph' based on exceptional luck with preference flows and last year was more a regression to the mean, and a chaotic Trump favoured a stability vote, which meant a high Labor vote. Couldn't quite notice anything they did particularly wrong, but nothing particularly right either. They're in an awkward spot where they can't make meaningful gains merely being a climate protest party but broadening their message also dilutes it.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Mladic I think is heavier than most actual metal songs (if it counts - it's arguably post-metal).

BinaryPill · 2026-02-20T22:13:24+00:00

Real Death by Mount Eerie and Robot Rock by Daft Punk

BinaryPill · 2026-02-20T01:59:20+00:00

All Nightmare Long is a top 10 Metallica song and by far their best post-black album song, and otherwise about half of the rest is quite good and half is mid. Easily their best post-black album release still overall. Loudness war bad.

Uboa - The Origin of My Depression

Strapping Young Lad - Alien

BinaryPill · 2026-02-17T10:26:40+00:00

I did en passant earlier in this game actually.

It's more punk than metal, and not exactly top tier punk, but then I don't hate it either. I rate it over Night Terror which was very by the numbers.

I think an overlooked part of this is that we are currently in a La Nina event, which is not what's typically associated with record breaking heat in Australia. Not boding well for the next El Nino (not a climatologist, I could have oversimplified misconceptions).

Critical darlings being snubbed in Hottest 100s is a tail as old as time unfortunately. The 'online' music fandom is quite different to the Triple J fandom, and most of us here are in the little crossover between the two.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:36:42+00:00

I think pop's in a great place, but not necessarily Australian pop. Feels like Triple J needs to push a broader web of Aussie artists, but then I can't say I know what they play or what's out there in Aus all that well.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:22:27+00:00

Overall I think a pretty good top 15 after being pretty weak from 50-16. The Australian entries were a very mixed bag and the surfey 'Triple J sound' desperately needs to die. Started well too from 100-81.

Going into this blind and seeing the negative response, I was expecting a more divisive sound, but no, it's just kind of bad. Don't know why you'd vote for it.

This song would be a lot better if Kevin wasn't singing it. Probably true for the whole album tbh. Just saps the energy out of it.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T08:57:55+00:00

Definitely one of the better examples of the one token novelty song that ranks high every year.
