Beloved music critic Tom Breihan's fascinating narrative of the history of popular music through the lens of game-changing #1 singles from the Billboard Hot 100, The Numbers Ones features the greatest pop artists of all time, from the Brill Building songwriters to the Beatles and the Beach Boys; from Motown to Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey; and from the digital revolution to the K-pop system. Breihan also ponders great artists who have never hit the top spot, like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and James Brown.

Some of the worst reading I’ve heard on this app
Revisado: 12-22-22
The narrator is, to put it bluntly, bad at reading. I can overlook mispronunciation of proper names or specialized jargon, but this narrator consistently gets basic high school vocabulary words wrong. For example, “decried” becomes “decreed.” Kind of an important difference, no? He trips over punctuation or ignores it outright. Was someone producing the recording session? Did anyone listen before releasing this commercially? Tom Breihan is an excellent cultural historian, and he deserves a reader (and audiobook publisher) who can do justice to his writing.

In the 1950s, comics meant POW! BAM! superheroes, family-friendly gags, and Sunday funnies, but in the 1960s, inspired by these strips and the satire of MAD magazine, a new generation of creators set out to subvert the medium, and with it, American culture. Their “comix” presented tales of taboo sex, casual drug use, and a transgressive view of society. Dirty Pictures is the essential exploration of a truly American art form that re-contextualized the way people thought about war, race, sex, gender, and expression.

Laughably bad narration
Revisado: 09-20-22
The narrator has a pleasant enough voice, but it’s like he’s never heard - let alone - spoken the English language before. The pronunciations are ludicrous. I legitimately wonder if he’s trolling the audience. When he called MOMA “Em Oh Em Ay” I just about threw my phone across the room.
