CIMS WEEKLY CHART: WEEK ENDING 1/23/20

Hi Everyone,

Not too much to say this week other than it started off with some high highs and some low lows.
 
For the Highs- Congrats to Billie Eilish and Finneas on their Grammy sweep and performance. Tyler the Creator brought it and Rosalia was on fire! I absolutely love her, and it has been so exciting to see her gaining ground here in the States.
 
However, it was beyond weird to go into the Grammys, at the Staples Center, with the loss of Kobe. As a long-time Lakers fan, I watched almost every game of his career and what can you say- he was a legend. I am growing really tired of losing legends. I know, this is a game as old as time….and no one can last here forever, but there are certain people on this planet with such talent and raw energy- be it in in sports, music, film, whatever – that they actually seem invincible.
 
And in a way…I guess they are- because they have forever left their mark on us. The people we hold as our legends (whoever that may be for you) are the ones that inspire.  Whether you are driven to get on the court, learn to work a camera, pick up an instrument, invent something. These are the people that drive us to push ourselves to that next level even when it seems out of reach.
 
So- I guess the message this week is:  Life is short.  Don’t take for granted the ones you love. Whatever it is you do, do it with passion and go make your mark.
 
Here are the charts:
