You have a way with words.

Juice WRLD is already dead!

You spelled Michael J. Fox’s first name wrong in your clean list. (This is mainly for Baker’s notification in case she copy-pastes it into the spreadsheet and then should he die misses it on your list.)

Oops – a few years ago. Must have been an old Billboard list I looked at.
Amended list.

Thank you for the correction. It’s one of those words that I can look at right before typing, and still get it wrong.
