Way Back 2026

December 24, 2025 - Nancy Wilson, Bobby Helms, the Isley Brothers and Tommy Edwards All Benefit in One Way or Another

"(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am," Nancy Wilson's 1964 hit, is getting a shot at a well-deserved revival on a commercial for Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil (for the "love of driving"...and listening to her song on your car's stereo system). On the subject of music airplay, streaming and sales, "Jingle Bell Rock" has reached a new high. The Christmas classic by Bobby Helms (released in 1957, it went to number six on the Billboard chart in early January '58) has now hit a number two peak after working its way up these last few holiday seasons.

The Isley Brothers' party favorite "Shout" stays fresh in our minds with its second recent inclusion in a theatrical film, Atrophia, tagged on posters and ads as "the story of a real fake place." And "post-apocalyptic sci-fi western" Fallout, now in its second season on Amazon Prime, gives us a choppy, chilling remix of Tommy Edwards' 1958 chart-topper "It's All in the Game"...but watch out for Walton Goggins, creepin' up on you as the Ghoul...yeesh!!
