I wrote this three days ago. I scheduled it two days ago. Yesterday, Soccer Mommy announced a co-headlining tour with Snail Mail. Today, tickets go on sale. Sometimes, we get lucky on timing.

If You Asked For A Picture by @blondshell.bsky.social was one of the best albums of 2025. I left it off the #Wicked25 last year, after literally making the whole writeup. I just wanted you to know that it's better than a couple of albums I *did* list. I'm sorry.

#WickedGP is revisiting the #Wicked25 honorable mentions list this week with @housewifeband.bsky.social

I made some glaring omissions on my #Wicked25 last year. By far the most egregious was Dogue by Ariane Roy

#WickedGP is back. And we're here to celebrate LE SSERAFIM, another K-Pop girl group poised to dominate the world.

So is 40 years old and my knees and back hurt.

Bulgaria won @eurovision.tv! Let's check out the winning song, shall we?!

The new Arkells album is actually really good and I am here for it, even in #NotMapleLeafMarch

Taking the Pumkpins back to the beginning and my still-favorite by them.

I'm not really sure this is really rock music, but I have had the song on repeat. It's my favorite by her in years.

Happy birthday to Sabrina Carpenter, who turns 27 today!

Bonnie Tyler is presently in a medically induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal. She's still with us and she has a lot of upcoming tour dates, so she needs to recover now.

I mean it when I say this song gives me "I Feel Love" vibes, right down to the thumping disco beat that could be a Donna Summer sample. I also love Madison Beer's album a lot more than I expected to.

Yes, I am listening to Pop Said... right now.

@theedarlingbuds.bsky.social Day started as an accident in the early days of #WickedGP. I literally posted about them on consecutive May 6ths in 2012 and 2013. After that, it stuck. I've missed one year since. So now I can't stop. So @theedarlingbuds.bsky.social need to make more music, please.

Australian band #Sleepazoid is today's #WickedGP. They're new, but they're making compelling punk-y music.

Anyone who knows me knows I am not a huge country music fan. This Rochester-native harpist has released one of my favorite ALBUMS of the year that happens to lean strongly country. Please check it out.

#WickedGP remembers David Allan Coe.

Roses are red The skies are grey But come tomorrow....

Carla dal Forno is an Australian artist who has been around longer than you think she has. She has a new album out and it's solid. Check it out.

Eaves Wilder is an up-and-coming artist who has a new album out that's really good. Please check her out.

I feel like starting with Chris Brown (who I find to be a little problematic, to be honest) and ending with @qveenherbs.bsky.social is quite the wild ride.

The song is literally about snorting blow. but also, it's a banger.

Lime Garden are an excellent up and coming band and you should have already been listening to them.

This is the greatest country duet of all time, bar none.

Despite her claims, the second time is NOT one too late. It took eleven years, but this is a hit now.

I forgot to post this earlier. I was really excited to see Alysa Liu pull this out during her exhibition routine at the Olympics. So I figured I'd fire it off here.

I think Angine de Poitrine is music you either love or hate and I suspect Vol. II is going to be high on a lot of year-end lists this year, including mine. It's very interesting and very different, and we should talk about it.

#WickedGP had hoped that Asha Bhosle had found the secret to immortality, and we are saddened by the news of her passing.

I almost didn't post this. Afrika Bambaataa had a pretty dark personal history that he never took responsibility for. I did, because he was also a pioneer of hip hop. May his passing bring peace to those impacted by him.

I'm not a big fan of country music. Snipe Hunter by Tyler Childers is a damn great album.

I was a week ago old when I found out that "Shoot Out the Lights" by Richard and Linda Thompson was from the 1980s! It's today's #WickedGP

@shegomanda.bsky.social are a band from Madrid. They're going to make you rethink what Spanish music can be. Also, they rock.

So Raye is wondering where her husband is. But also, it's not a question at all. The punctuation is intentional.

#WickedGP has been waiting a month to post this banger by @angele_vl and Justice. This song is absolute fire.

We end #MapleLeafMarch with le Roy, la Rose et le Lou[p]. Ariane Roy, Thierry Larose, and Lou-Adriane Cassidy toured together and even wrote themselves a THEME SONG. It's weird and glorious at the same time.

I'm always sad on the last day of #MapleLeafMarch. I want to cram in as much music as I can. I couldn't let March end without Fionn. They're a great Vancouver band led by twin sisters.

#LetJoniSing #MapleLeafMarch

OK, now to today's FIRST post. We're opening with @thejunoawards.bsky.social winner for ALBUM FRANCOPHONE DE L’ANNÉE, @louadriyo.bsky.social (but we're featuring her OTHER album from 2025, which was also excellent!!!!)

Oh gosh, I almost forgot Polaris shortlisted group The OBGMs!

Before I do today's #WickedGP, I figured I'd catch you up on the last few days:

«Journal d'un Loup-Garou» n'est pas seulement l'album francophone de l'année. C'était le meilleur album de 2025, toutes langues confondues. Félicitations pour votre victoire aux @thejunoawards.bsky.social , @louadriyo.bsky.social

Please vote for Mckayla! She's all the way up to 4th place and we only have a few minutes left

#WickedGP was late to the party today, but nothing can stop #MapleLeafMarch. We just wish we were giving Laurence Nerbonne more time today! www.wickedguilty.com/2026/03/25-m...

Elisapie is a trilingual maestro.... maestra? maestress? Anyway, this song, from her 2018 album, is an epic masterpiece that builds.

In fact, I've given you clues in small print before... this month!!

I chose this song because of the surprise guest star at his live performance - not that I wasn't already looking for a Thierry Larose song, because I was. And this is a GREAT song. But that guest star made it a really easy choice. Also, you should take my small print seriously.

Debby F. Double V.

McKayla needs your vote, please. She's presently in 7th place and we need to get her to the top 5 TODAY. PLEASE vote. Thank you.

BEYRIES entered the music industry while she was fighting cancer. This was one of her first songs.
