Record of the Year Revisited: 2018

Original Record of the Year: Eminem - Fall

In my post about my 2018 pick I said that choice had become very limited. It had become a rarity for a 20th century act to have a Top 40 hit in the 2018 charts. 

One act bucking that trend was Eminem, though even he only just qualifies as a 20th century act having made his Top 40 debut in 1999. The fact he's still able to have Top 40 hits is one of few positives I can say about the charts in the modern era.

Of course the record I picked was not a patch on his earlier work, but still a decent tune nonetheless.

What about the other 20th century acts?

Well in terms of ones having a genuinely new Top 40 hit of their only accord the only other one was Kylie Minogue and she's hardly going to be a contender for record of the year.

What about the newer acts? not a chance.
