Mitriani “Walks” to the top spot on Hot Hits Chart

This week’s TKR Hot Hits Chart just debuted, and after two weeks in the runner up position, extreme sports superstar Luke Mitrani lands his first TKR #1 hit with “Walk On The Moon” (featuring Lynx). People who think this is a fluke are not familiar with the artist – Mitrani has been recording videos for the “Frendly Presents” YouTube channel for years, and his debut album has now produced two TKR Hot Hits songs, as followup “Make Believe” continues climbing, moving up to #46 this week as well. After three weeks at the top, Netta falls a notch to #2

Remembering Glen Campbell (1936-2017)

We lost country and pop legend Glen Campbell this afternoon after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease; he was 81 years old. He – or rather his celebrity and his music – played a large part in my early life, and was part of what helped to shape my rather eclectic tastes in music. My mom was a huge fan of Campbell from the very beginning. Whenever he popped up on TV variety shows, my mom and I would always watch. I think she first spotted him when he was a regularly appearing singer on Shindig; I don’t remember for
