Two charts from our newly designed Premiere Series really grabbed my attention this year: Victor’s chart on Maynard’s "Coconut Champagne" and Shane Porter’s rip-roaring version of "The Time Warp." While I doubt many sports fans are ready for a full blown Rocky Horror Picture Show halftime production, this creative arrangement is simply smokin’ and...
