Still has the word country in it.

Not that this has anything to do with Insightsā¦ but I heard an interesting piece on NPR just the other day talking about how music charts have favored cross-over artists. This discussion on ācountry-popā made me want to go back and find the articleā¦
In 2012, Billboard changed how the chartās data is measured: Where it previously only counted radio play for a song on country-format stations, that was changed to include stations across genres, as well as streaming data and digital download sales. The move was controversial, because it meant that pop artists who make crossover country songs would be favored on a genre-specific chart.
Meanwhile, Billboard spun off the original version of the chart as Country Airplay, which more accurately captured what country radio stations were actually playing. The discrepancies were clear ā for example, Taylor Swiftās sort-of-pop, sort-of-country 2012 hit āWe Are Never Ever Getting Back Togetherā spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, despite only peaking at 13 on the Country Airplay chart.
If you look at both charts for the week of March 29, itās clear the two donāt line up: Chappell Roan may have the No. 1 song on Hot Country Songs, but sheās not even in the Top 50 of Country Airplay. And who has the distinction of having the No. 1 song on that chart? Jelly Roll, whose track āLiarā has spent six weeks at No. 1.
ā¦ just found it an interesting piece.
This is how I imagine @klincecum looks during karaoke with his arms folded and all.
I do a good Shatner impression too.
Yes, that would have been nice. I donāt know if youāre a drinker, but I definitely owe you a few!
Yeah, I listen to the news on my drive into work and heard that same report.
They are touring. In Jacksonville Jun 6th. If you only had a place to crash. 
My drive is too short to even get in the car and put the radio on
Hmm if only she knew someone who lived thereā¦ 
Yeah, yeah, rub-it-in. Some of us have a hybrid schedule so commute a few days a week.
Iām not stepping foot in the cesspool of a state.
Some of us have ankle bracelets that trigger when attempting to leave the office

Please donāt give the C-suite any ideas!

Lifeās good, isnāt it! 
Just booked it.
I gotta finally run and get my Real IDā¢ lol.
I could fly out, but couldnāt fly homeā¦
You can use a passport if you have one, and donāt feel like getting a new ID until your current one expires.
Yeah mine expired in 2019, I know I can get expedited, but Iāll try and go sit at the DMV first.
