Pretty much agree with all the smashes. But I like Selfie by the Chainsmokers.

At least modern downloads are available. Records were fragile.

One man in the 1990s discovered a long lost Al Jolson disc on a shelf in a garage. It had the era’s boxes for checking off when the demo was played. Too many and the disc was destroyed. It was near the end and he preserved it.

Another Jolson disc was found broken. An amateur loving found a way to gently glue it together. To make a copy a digital blanking out of the record skip over the break had to be calculated just right. Now survives for us to hear.
I always loved Al Jolson’s songs and have probably 95% on cds.
