Song Recordings Produced By J
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers f ...

Rolling Stone Top 100
The ''Rolling Stone'' charts tabulated the relative weekly popularity of songs and albums in the United States. Chart data was powered by analytics firm Alpha Data (formerly BuzzAngle Music) and results were published on the website of pop culture magazine ''Rolling Stone'', both of which are properties of the United States-based Penske Media Corporation. The ''Rolling Stone'' charts competed with the ''Billboard'' charts, which are powered by Nielsen SoundScan and published by ''Billboard'' magazine. The ''Rolling Stone'' charts were differentiated by their emphasis in streaming media and daily updates while still publishing a weekly final version on the Monday following the Friday-to-Thursday tracking week. They were announced on May 7, 2019, and were expected to launch on May 13, but were ultimately launched on July 2. The charts were discontinued at the end of October 2021 after the October 21 issue, with ''Billboard'' having become a sister PMC publication to ''Rolling St ...

After a near-decade hiatus, the label was rebooted in 2012 with Danny! as its flagship artist.

All of the artists and staff, as well as those who post to the site's messageboard, are considered "okayplayers," or "OKPs" for short.
