This just seems so fucking euphemistic.
I can imagine a conversation.
So… MESC… Whats that?
It’s in the name.
So, South Africa… So post British Empire colonies are MESC too? Like Uganda?
No.

Music trivia time!
The Billboard Hot 100 launched in 1958.
Since that time, only 45 songs have remained at Number 1 for 10 weeks or longer.
