Toups

Sad to see all these protests popping up. Can't those people be fined for gathering in a large group/breaking social distancing guidelines?

That was really great to see/hear which made we want to revive this old thread again. 😀

Sorry to hear that. Hope he gets better!

Drake can get a #1 without TikTok, but "Toosie Slide" is so geared towards TikTok. Ugh. BTW, @Faulkner, do you know if there's a site that archives the total points for the Billboard Hot 100?

Those Canadian boys have been killing it the last 10 years. Sadly, there's been no big female artists since Avril Lavigne and Nelly Furtado and that was, what, 15 years ago.

And with that Max Martin, my favourite non-performing writer/producer, received his 23rd #1 song as a writer, and 21st #1 song as a producer. He's now had a #1 song in the 90's, 2000's, 2010's and 2020's. 👏

But that's just music evolution. As they get older, they start to fade and become "irrelevant" (especially on the charts, the hot 100), We can't expect them to continue to be big. As a fan, all I want is for them to make music that I'll enjoy. If they don't, then we still have those old albums to listen to - I still have about 20 Britney songs on my phone. I still like Pink. "Beautiful Trama" and "What About Us" is two of my favourite songs of hers.

Do you guys listen to Dua Lipa? Whenever I hear her songs, I keep thinking, "this is what Gaga should be doing." She's doing a lot of dance/pop. "Physical" is phenomenal and I know it's already going to be in my top 10 songs of 2020.

I'm not a fan of "Stupid Love" either. I'm surprised it's a Max Martin co-production. Hope the rest of the album is good though.

Anson's just upset he wasn't asked. Who cares. It's a harmless video.

Italy is now ahead of China in total deaths. 😔

Justin Trudeau’s wife, Sophie, tests positive.

NHL suspends season. No spring training for MLB.

https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/2020/3/12/1_4850159.html Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is self-isolating after his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, began exhibiting mild flu-like symptoms after returning from a speaking engagement in the U.K.

So much news in the least 60 minutes. I agree that the NHL and MLB have to be next and suspend their season. They can't wait until a player gets the virus, they have to suspend NOW. And Tom Hanks! I love Tom Hanks! Why was the UK exempt from the ban?

CNBC: NCAA March Madness basketball games will be played without fans The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced the upcoming men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be played with “only essential staff and limited family attendance,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement Wednesday.

The WHO just officially called it a pandemic.

Just thought I'd create a thread for updates and discussion on the Coronavirus. As of right now there's about 120,000 cases worldwide with 4300 deaths.

What does that scenario look like? Is it Like what happened in House of Cards where each state yells out who they’re going to vote or something like that?

That was the first American debate that I watched from beginning to end. First thing is, I loved Amy whenever she spoke! I loved her passion and her, well, heart as she mentioned in her closing. I just connected to her the most (emotionally). Unfortunately, I think she had the least speaking time. Bloomberg definitely got his ass handed to him. Wow he took a beating and I don't think he recovered very well. I mean, everyone took hits, but they were also able to retaliate with their own comebacks, except for Bloomberg who was so robotic and had no passion at all. When you go up against Trump, you're going to need that passion, those good retorts, and show that you can go toe-to-toe with Trump. Right now, I can't see Bloomberg having good debates vs Trump. I still think Biden is the best bet to beat Trump, but man, my heart is with Amy after today. I hope the next debate they'll attack Trump and the Republicans more. It was a bit disheartening to see everyone attack each other so much. Can someone explain the last question? It was when everyone, except Bernie, agreed to “the process.”

Love the music! Can't wait to listen to Michael Giacchino's score. He's one of my favourite movie/tv composers.

Thanks! So BJH doesn't get an Oscar for Best International Film? No person gets a trophy, just the movie wins? I thought he won 4 but apparently not.

PARASITE!!! What a night! 🙌 Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Intentional film. History was made tonight. A non-English speaking film/all Korean cast just won Best Picture. That is unbelievable. Bong Joon Ho deserves that drink. 😂 Has anyone ever won more than 2 or 3 Oscars in one night? "Up! Up! Up! Up" - love that moment. That’s two Oscar wins now for the Joker character - both very well deserved. Heath is still my favourite Joker.

Parasite won Original Screenplay and Jojo Rabbit won Adapted Screenplay. With 1917 winning the DGA and PGA, it's the favourite to win Best Picture, with Parasite right now running second.

The Djoker!! Inching closer to Nadal and Federer. None of these young players are super-quality. 3 old guys are still kicking their ass. It's going to be a very long time before we see another golden era in Men's tennis once the big 3 retire.
