Song of the Day #6,008: ‘Tu Boda’ – Oscar Maydon & Fuerza Regida
This week, my family and I are embarking on a cruise through the Mexican Riviera, hitting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. In my absence, I’ll offer up the five hits currently topping Mexico’s music charts. Enjoy!
Song of the Day #6,007: ‘Come See About Me’ – The Supremes
The week of December 15, 1964, saw The Supremes atop the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Come See About Me.’ This was the third of five consecutive #1 hits the trio released between 1964 and 1965.
The song would lose its top position to The Beatles’ ‘I Feel Fine’ the following week, then win it back from the Fab Four in January of 1965.
Song of the Day #6,006: ‘Let Me Go, Lover’ – Joan Weber
Throwing back to the week of December 14, 1954, we find The Chordettes’ ‘Mister Sandman’ still dominating the charts. But in second place, on its way to a four-week stint at #1, was Joan Weber’s ‘Let Me Go, Lover.’
The song became popular after it was featured on a television show called Studio One, in an episode about a murder mystery involving a disc jockey. The producers took advantage of the show’s reach to push the song into stores and radio stations, one of the earliest examples of that sort of cross-promotion.
Song of the Day #6,005: ‘We Know the Way (Finale)’ – Lin-Manuel Miranda and Opetaia Foa’i
Concluding my countdown of favorite Disney Animation movies following my marathon viewing of all 64… you can see the full ranked list here.
My Top Ten Disney Animation Movies
#1 – Moana (2016)
Nobody who’s read this blog for any length of time will be surprised by today’s pick. After all, it was just four years ago that I named Moana my favorite movie of the 2010s, and I consider it among my top ten of all time. So yeah, it’s the best Disney animated movie.
I won’t go into detail all over again as to why that’s the case — I invite you to read the post linked above if you want to know my reasons. I’ll note that, according to my Letterboxd account, I’ve seen the movie six more times since writing that entry and it’s been equally brilliant every time.
