"By the 1970s, jonesing had spread beyond its origins as drug slang, weakening to a sense of “strongly wanting or desiring” in college slang, popular media, and on the internet in the late 1990s and early 2000s. A person could be jonesing for a lover or a hamburger—anything they feel have done without for too long and feel a jittery anticipation of or longing for.

"This year has been quite the year for Country music on the charts and overall consumption.

In comparison, country music experienced a growth of 2.5% during the corresponding period in 2022."   (Lauren Jo Black / countrynow.com, Juli 31, 2023)

"What makes a song a banger? The most important is the hook, that sticks in your head, after you hear the song just once. In addition it will also have a solid beat, that you can't help but move to. And recognizability is also key."   (DJ Rinehart / deepinthemix.com, July 23 2023)
