Who the hell is still making OTR memes after 15 weeks? This is some bullsh*t. American teenagers need a hobby. What happened to going to the beach or summer reading? summer reading? Hate to break it to ya, but no one reads in their free time lol. Also, making memes is a hobby. Not only is that not true, but now we also know what's wrong with kids these days. Ignorance. |

Also, here's a revised statement: The majority of today's youth does not read in their free time. It's too late for corrections. FYI I'm also a teacher and I know what you said is vastly true for a fact because I've experienced it first hand. So I'm not just pulling these statements out of my ass, unfortunately the majority of today's kids prefer to stay glued to their phones instead of getting knowledge out of books and whatnot. |

Whitney Houston Hits Hot 100 With a Remake of a Record of the Year Grammy Winner -- Just How Rare Is That?
News
By Paul Grein | July 08, 2019 8:19 PM EDT
Whitney Houston
It's fairly unusual to cover a record of the year winner, since that award is a strong indicator that a song has been recorded definitively.
As Billboard's Gary Trust has reported, Kygo X Whitney Houston's remake of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" enters the Billboard Hot 100 this week at No. 63. Winwood's original version of the song won the 1986 Grammy Award for record of the year -- beating Houston's "Greatest Love of All" and three other hits.
Houston recorded "Higher Love" in the late '80s, though it was released only in Japan, as a bonus track on the physical version of her 1990 album I'm Your Baby Tonight.
It's fairly unusual for an artist to cover a Grammy-winning record of the year. That award, after all, is a strong indicator that a song has been recorded definitively. The winning version is going to be hard to follow -- and almost impossible to top. But over the years, numerous covers of record of the year winners have achieved Hot 100 success. (These are covers that charted after the earlier version won record of the year.)
The closest parallel to Houston covering "Higher Love" is probably Aretha Franklin covering Simon & Garfunkel's pop hymn "Bridge over Troubled Water," the 1970 winner for record and song of the year. Franklin's version reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1971. It won a Grammy for best R&B vocal performance, female -- one of the few times a cover of a record of the year winner has won a Grammy of its own.
(Franklin attempted to do this again in 2014, when she covered Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," the 2011 winner for record and song of the year. "Rolling in the Deep [The Aretha Version]" failed to crack the Hot 100, but it reached No. 47 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.)
Four other covers of "Bridge" have made the Hot 100 over the years. Linda Clifford took a disco version to No. 41 in 1979. A Glee version reached No. 73 in 2010. A live version by Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli, taken from the Grammy Awards telecast and designed to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief efforts, reached No. 75 in 2010. Tessanne Chin, The Voice season 5 winner, took the song to No. 64 in 2013.
Fugees recorded a hip-hop update of the Roberta Flack classic "Killing Me Softly with His Song," the 1973 winner for record and song of the year. Fugees' version, with the title shortened to "Killing Me Softly," reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart in 1996. It won a Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal. Another version of the song by Al B. Sure! reached No. 80 on the Hot 100 in 1988.
Artists for Haiti's "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 2010, a generation after the original version by USA for Africa won the 1985 Grammys for record and song of the year.
Bobby Rydell's "Volare" reached No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 1960, two years after Domenico Modguno's version of the lounge classic, titled "Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu (Volare)," won the 1958 awards for record and song of the year. In 1975, another version of the song by Al Martino reached No. 33 on the Hot 100.
The Lettermen's vocal version of Percy Faith's instrumental smash "Theme from a Summer Place," the 1960 record of the year champ, reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 in 1965. Dick Roman and The Ventures also charted separately with the pretty tune.
Fall Out Boy featuring John Mayer covered Michael Jackson's "Beat It," the 1983 record of the year winner. The remake reached No. 19 on the Hot 100 in 2008.
Ella Fitzgerald's version of Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife," the 1959 record of the year winner, reached No. 27 on the Hot 100 in 1960. Fitzgerald's version was nominated for record of the year, the only time that a cover of a record of the year winner has been nominated in that top category. Fitzgerald's version received two other noms. It won for best vocal performance, single record or track, female.
Warren G featuring Adina Howard had a hit with Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do with It," the 1984 winner for record and song of the year. Their version, from the Jackie Chan movie Supercop, reached No. 32 on the Hot 100 in 1996.
Booker T & the MG's' instrumental version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson," the 1968 record of the year winner, reached No. 37 on the Hot 100 in 1969.
Olivia Newton-John remade her own 1974 record of the year winner, "I Honestly Love You." Her new version of the song, produced by David Foster and Tony Brown, reached No. 67 on the Hot 100 in 1998.
Hugh Masekela's instrumental version of the Fifth Dimension's "Up—Up and Away," the 1967 winner for record and song of the year, reached No. 71 on the Hot 100 in 1968.
In addition, TV shows have boosted several remakes of record of the year winners. Lee DeWyze, the season 9 champ on American Idol, reached No. 24 on the Hot 100 in 2010 with a version of U2's exhilarating "Beautiful Day," the 2000 winner for record and song of the year. Christina Grimmie, a season 6 contestant on The Voice, reached No. 64 on the Hot 100 in 2014 in a duet with coach Adam Levine on the Gotye/Kimbra song "Somebody That I Used to Know," the 2012 record of the year winner.
Glee cast versions of Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1972), Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" (1994), Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" (2007) and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" (2010) also made the Hot 100.

summer reading? Hate to break it to ya, but no one reads in their free time lol. Well now that just isn't true. Thank you, Austin! I’m 26 and I read books or listen to music (and read Pulse) on the train to work every single day! Also, making memes is not a hobby, Lordy, what has happened to the world? I don’t know which way to feel about OTR breaking the record - the lamb in me is sad that Mariah will be stripped of a distinction but let’s not pretend she doesn’t have 500 others and wasn’t sharing it with a a bunch of men. That being said, Lil Nas X is my new hero for coming out so more power to him! |

The article doesn't help either. "The Black Keys re-enter the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated July 13) at a new No. 5 high, as the duo's LP, Let's Rock, debuts at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums and No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 52,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music. The act's return is also aided by the new set's third single, "Go," which reaches new peaks on Adult Alternative Songs (rising 10-7), Rock Airplay (33-28) and Alternative Songs (38-30). The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity." www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8519269/the-black-keys-top-5-artist-100-billie-eilish-top |

IDK, it's probably a mistake. |

Doesn't the Artist 100 also factor in box office sales for touring?

Well I'm not sure of your age, but it is DEFINITELY a bad thing, especially for younger kids. The most important part of learning is learning to read. The only way a person becomes a better reader is to read more. I could go on, and give a whole bunch of statistics (I've been an elementary school teacher for the past 15 years) but I am not going to take the time right now. |

Scary isn't it...… If people don't read or comprehend, I can't even. So bad.... "Revalations" read the Bible. |

We’re going really off topic, but I can’t help but feel that teachers have a blind spot in these criticisms: the internet is a thing and a lot of people read extensively through it, yet since it’s not on paper it tends not to get acknowledged. Myself, I dig through articles on both the game and music industry, occasionally through full on journalistic reports that are the length equivalent of 30 pages of a paperback and opinion pieces that can get up to 10 pages. In fact, these message boards, with some of the detailed posts arguing points, has ended up as an entertaining read when I’m in transit. I read books on occasion too, but I think a lot of people underestimate the reading in a lot of people’s digital diet.

That's not true. Personally, I always encourage my HS students to use Internet as a resource to always be informed about the news, what happens around the world, etc. I know some of them check for news online and I also know some of them couldn't care less and just want to check their Instagram feed instead. Trust me, we know who does what and who doesn't. |

And I get into a lot of discussions (off Pulse) where I have to actually look at scientific studies, so I don't think what I tend to read is particularly inadequate. Also, while not so sophisticated, I play a lot of visual novels, which involve a lot of reading. |

Especially when nearly all visual and print news sources have online avenues as well. I would argue reading NYT is probably a safer bet than DailyMail or TMZ, but yes, online media has a lot of value and continues to be diminished on the regular. Heck, Wikipedia is THE main source of information for a lot of things, and reading 1-2 articles there every day would probably make one much more well-rounded and knowledgeable, but it is still considered an unreliable source by many. If it were a printed encyclopedia, I'm sure everyone would be all over it.
All media should be consumed with caution and skepticism. The internet's biggest problem is that it is gigantic--so many dark avenues one could chase and read on, potentially doing more harm than good. I guess what makes print more reliable is that it is set in stone- once it's published and deemed reliable, it will stay that way until proven otherwise.
