maybe an even better single called Please, Please, Please, which actually ends up being her first number one at Outperforms Espresso on the charts. And the sort of one-two punch of those singles showed that Sabrina Carpenter, from the outset, was like, I am no one hit wonder. If you like espresso, there's a lot more to me than that.

And I think just the way that she rolled out these hits and all showcased different strengths of hers was really impressive this year and kind of made her one of the year's breakout stars.

The Tortured Poets Department, to me, is sort of the album on which Taylor Swift is writing the enormous success of the Eros tour, which began... What, a decade ago at this point?

And so I think that while it was this record-setting blockbuster in terms of sales and fan engagement, the songs didn't have the cultural impact of, say, an espresso, a good luck babe. They weren't the songs that you heard out in the world this year.

You know, the refrain of you're not like us, you know, resonates, I think, even outside of the world of hip hop beef, of music and into something more primal in our culture right now. Beyond the musical realm, there was a spirit of just nastiness and nastiness against people who don't think the way that you do or come from where you do.

That kind of made that song, you know, the anthem of 2024 for better and for worse.

Lindsay? I think in some ways, Cowboy Carter is like an album for liberals who want to signify that they like country music, but that they have some problems with the racial representation of Nashville, how country music radio doesn't like to play women and things like that, that like, you know, want to... support country music with an asterisk.

Cowboy Carter is the album to get behind if you feel that way. And I think almost to a fault, it's a record that feels very thesis-driven to me. It's homework-y. Yeah. Yeah, and there are parts of it that I think are wonderful and some really sublime runs on this very epic album. But it's also an album, I think it's an argument more than an album sometimes.

Lindsey, this song was inescapable last summer. Talk to us about Shaboosie.

Still inescapable as we're entering winter. It, I believe, tied the record for the longest Hot 100 number one song ever. That's a huge, huge, huge hit. 19 weeks. 19 weeks. I don't really get it, I have to say. Not my favorite song of the year, but clearly a song that resonated with a massive amount of people. It... Yeah, I... Help.
