The world is only getting stranger. 78's hitting the Top 5 weeks on end is unusual, a Hip-Hop record making the Top 5 is more unusual. I'm not stupid enough to think it's just the economy. That might explain Northern Soul's demise (as a high priced commodity, not as a form of music or fandom). The Gods hold on as The Beatles, Dylan and Blue Note classics make the bottom of the list, but it seems new standards and sensibilities are blowin' in.
