EPISODE #47

Host Charlie spent the last two weeks listening to every song on the Billboard Hot 100. What did he discover? That the sonic similarities of most chart-toppers sound closer than ever. Except for the #1 song in America, as of this episode’s release – “Closer” by The Chainsmokers, ft. Halsey. This one is different than the rest…or is it? We dive into the styles of the moment to re-learn the old maxim that “great artists steal” – whether that artist is a 2016 DJ duo or an 18th century Classical master.
