2023: A Record-Breaking Record-Making Year
Thu., Dec. 28. 2023 5:29pm EST
In 2023, we were able to do something we've never done before: consistently release two singles every two weeks for an entire year without any lapses — a total of 52 parodies. Praise the Lord!
That's the second-most parodies we've ever put out in a calendar year. The most ever was 54 in 2015, but not all of those songs were released on singles. Allow us to explain:
We started doing regular singles in January 2014. Over the course of the past 10 years, we have released a total of 469 recorded parodies. The overwhelming majority of these were released on singles, but some were released only on CDs, including six tracks found only on Apoplectic (2014), eight on Easter Standard Time (2015), plus one bonus track each on Only a Glorified Cover Band (2016) and Never Before, but Then Again ... (2021).
For the record, here's the leader board:
