This isn't a huge/urgent issue but i thought i'd ask about it here before i forget.  Any chance this can be worked in?

implementing song-specific meta tags (opengraph, twitter cards etc.) in a song-specific page would go a long way towards providing proper visibility for song links when shared on facebook/twitter/google/etc. instead of showing the generic WeeklyBeats site info in shared links.

Right now it looks like the routing to get to the actual song details is done via javascript only, which probably makes it tricky to get everything in the location hash properly conveyed to the server backend in time to generate the song-specific metadata for web crawlers/scrapers.  I do believe there are workarounds though.  I dunno, i'm sure some of the more web-savvy devs here will have a couple of ideas to contribute..

i'm not sure if i can partake in WB2018 the same way as i've done before - but i've got a special project that i've been wanting to do for 2018 that will likely involve progressive works-in-progress that i'll try to release each week here!  dunno if it satisfies the exact letter of the WB rules but i've already done 100+ weeks worth of these things so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

something went wrong for this last upload for me, i'm guessing it had to do with this weird week 52/53 thing?  i think i'd need a custom upload link or something...

the good news is that according to this page though, all modern browsers (except opera mini but who uses that) ought to support mp3 by now.  so no need for fallback formats if i interpret this correctly.

Just a heads-up that as per this article which says that Chrome is rolling out default blocking behaviour for flash, visitors may start finding that their play buttons won't work anymore.

it seems to be happening to me now (although right clicking the pixel containing the Flash plugin and clicking "run this plugin" will let you resume playing the tune).

Anyway, just reporting that this behaviour is gonna become more commonplace, which would necessitate an HTML5-only solution for song playback sooner than later.
