In light of Rihanna and Calvin Harris’ record breaking runs on both sides of the Atlantic, we look at chart figures and wonder what they even mean in the 21st century. After that we enjoy some vintage Gorillaz, meet the newest XXL freshman, Logic, teach Mark about Bill Withers and reminisce over Nike ads with JXL’s famed remix of Elvis’ ‘Little Less Conversation.’
