The 2024 Jester One Music Top 20 Countdown - #11

 #11. Tommy Richman - Million Dollar Baby


Title: Million Dollar Baby
Artist: Tommy Richman
Album: Million Dollar Baby single


It doesn't happen every year, but every now and then a pop song sneaks into my listening circles. I can't even remember where I heard this one first... was it at a bar? The gas station? That Wingstop commercial? Who knows. But the beat has an old-school feel to it, the layers of vocals catch your attention and, even though the delivery is almost nonsensical, it isn't as lyrically offensive as most of the pop/r&b/rap offerings that climb the charts. "Million Dollar Baby" went 4x Platinum in the US, charted #1 in 7 different countries and made it up to #2 on the Billboard 200. It's an impressive feat and it's a bassy whalloper of a song. It's fun to nod along with and bounce to, and so here it is at #11.



Favorite line: <<are there actually lyrics in this song? Even after Googling it, I haven't the foggiest idea what dude is saying>>
