Founder and editor of Trending Songs Now

Hi, I'm Charlie, the person behind Trending Songs Now.

I live in Alberta, Canada.

I worked for over 30 years before retiring, and now I spend my retirement on two lifelong passions: music and building websites.

Why this site

My other sites cover the music of the 60s, 70s and 80s and classic rock artists.

This one is about the songs people are finding right now, mostly through short videos.

The same rules apply here as on my other sites: every fact needs a source, and anything that can't be confirmed stays out.

How I research and write

Each chart is built from public charts and trend roundups that are opened and read for that update, and every page lists its sources.

I use AI tools to help with research and drafting, and every page is checked against its sources before it goes live.

You can read the full method on How Our Charts Work.
