Vinyl collecting has never been cheap — but once you start chasing specific pressings, test pressings, and rare variants, things can get wildly expensive, fast. Discogs knows this better than anyone, which is why the marketplace publishes a monthly Top 25 Most Expensive Records Sold list, documenting just how far collectors are willing to go.
The December 2025 edition has just been posted, and surprisingly (or maybe not), it’s heavily dominated by rock and metal releases, with several eye-popping sales that underscore how valuable certain records from these genres have become. Among the most notable entries on the December list:
A 1984 test pressing of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning sold for $2,500
Misfits‘ 1978 7″ Bullet, which went for $7,500. On why it was so expensive, Discogs noted in part: “Following the initial pressings, Danzig was left with approximately 100 unused black-vinyl discs from the original pressing run, but no sleeves. To fulfill an order from Tesco Vee at Schoolkids Records in Ann Arbor, Michigan, those discs were paired with sleeves from the second pressing. Collectors now refer to this hybrid as the ‘third pressing,’ a uniquely improvised release that has become one of the most coveted Misfits singles.”
Fast Retailing said profit increased across regions and played down concerns about the possible impact of Japan-China tensions on its apparel business.

What were you doing last Thursday, right around 1:30 p.m. ET? Actually, I think I know.
It was New Year’s Day. So, chances are you were tired — maybe a little hungover. But you probably had the day off. And since you’re reading this column, chances are you’re interested in the Premier League. And since you were sluggish, didn’t have work, and you do like soccer, my guess is that, at 1:30 p.m. ET last Thursday, you were sleeping in front of your television.
How do I know this? Because there were four Premier League games being played at the same time, and they were all terrible.
Crystal Palace and Fulham tied 1-1, and then Liverpool, Leeds United, Sunderland, Manchester City, Tottenham and Brentford combined to score … just kidding. They didn’t score a single goal. Across the 360 minutes played in the Premier League on New Year’s Day by eight different teams, just two balls ended up in the back of the net. The teams that have combined to win the past eight Premier League titles couldn’t score against a pair of promoted teams, the team with the league’s fanciest new stadium couldn’t score against the team they’d just stolen their manager from, and the team that’s supposed to be the league’s new overachieving upstart got outshot by Fulham at home.
With the quality of open-play attacking in the Premier League as low as it’s been in over a decade, you may have woken up from your nap and eventually come to the following conclusion: This league stinks.
It seems like almost every team in the league still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League. And outside of Arsenal, are there really any good teams? The Gunners are on a six-game winning streak, and only one other team is even on a winning streak at all: Newcastle United, with their two straight victories.
But, perhaps, once you had some coffee or eventually went to bed before midnight, you might have eventually had another realization: Those same data points could also be used for … the exact opposite argument, couldn’t they? Maybe it only seems like there are no good teams because, well, everyone is actually pretty good? Sure, it put me to sleep, but don’t matches between teams of similar quality frequently result in tactical stalemates?
Now that we’ve had about a half a week to recover, it’s time to ask: Which one is it? Is the Premier League’s quality this season throughout the table just really good — or is it really bad?
And lest you worry this is just random fluctuation, here’s the same chart, just with open-play shots instead of open-play goals:
In order to avoid Arsenal fans threatening my life again or badgering my loved ones on the internet, though, I don’t want to spend too much time on this particular part of the argument — but if teams can’t score goals from open play anymore, then that says something about the quality of the teams in this league. Mainly, that they’re not good enough to consistently do the hardest thing in the sport: Score goals without the benefit of a dead ball and preplanned movements.
That decline in overall quality, particularly, shows up at the high end of the league.
We can use expected goal differential to show the general caliber of the chances a team is creating and conceding. And from 2009-10 through last season, per Stats Perform, there were 64 Premier League teams who posted an xG differential of plus-0.5 or better per game. By combining the computing power of multiple large language models, I am able to reveal that those numbers average out to four teams per season.
Well, this season, it’s only two — and no other season in the dataset has featured fewer than three. Just last year, when Liverpool ran away with the league despite finishing with only 84 points, we still had five such sides: the five top teams in the table.
If we flip to the bottom of the league this season, then there’s Wolves, with six points through 20 games — the second fewest in Premier League history. Of course, they also just beat 18th-place West Ham, 3-0, while generating nine shots on target and conceding zero. But the team sandwiched between both of them might be even worse. Since 2009, only two teams have finished a Premier League season with a worse per-game expected goal differential than Burnley‘s current mark of minus-1.08.
No one is scoring from open play, there are barely any traditionally good teams, and there are lots of really bad teams.
The case for the Premier League being better than ever
Let’s say there was a league with a table that looked like this:
That looks like the best league in the world — by far. You have two teams that have won the Bundesliga within the past 20 years in the relegation zone, plus another one that’s currently in the Champions League. Just above it, there’s the team that’s currently in first in Ligue 1, the one that’s currently leading in the Netherlands for the third-straight year, and the defending title-holders in Serie A.
These names aren’t chosen at random — this is just how good the people who take your money every weekend think the Premier League is.
At the site PitchRank, Tyson Ni compiles betting market implied power ratings by looking at the lines for each game across all of the major European leagues and continental competitions. It’s more complicated than this to calculate, but it’s based on the premise that you can, say, look at how much Liverpool was favored by against Eintracht Frankfurt on the road, and how much they were favored by against West Ham on the road, to get a sense of how good those teams are in comparison to each other.
And yes, these ratings see Eintracht and West Ham as very close to each other. That’s how I made the table: by replacing each Premier League team’s position in the table with the closest ranked non-Premier League team from the most recently updated ratings at PitchRank.
While it might seem absurd to say that Eintracht and West Ham are equivalent to each other, reality suggests otherwise. Here’s what happened when Liverpool actually played Eintracht Frankfurt on the road:
And here’s what happened when they actually played West Ham United on the road:
The results and performances this season mostly speak for themselves.
Arsenal smothered Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid in London. Manchester City beat Napoli at home and Real Madrid on the road. Although Liverpool collapsed against PSV at Anfield, they’ve also beaten both Madrid sides at home and Inter Milan on the road. They might be the worst set piece team in England … and the best in the Champions League. Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0. And both Newcastle and Tottenham have better goal differentials in the Champions League than they do in the Premier League.
As it stands, all six Premier League sides would finish in the top 15 of the league phase.
In the Europa League, Nottingham Forest have the second-best expected goal differential among all teams, while Aston Villa have won five and lost one. And in the Conference League, Crystal Palace are the only team with an xG differential north of plus-nine.
If almost all of the Premier League teams are improving when they leave the Premier League to go play in leagues that are theoretically collecting all of the best teams in Europe, then it becomes pretty hard to argue that the Premier League is having a down year. The soccer hasn’t been good to watch, but the league might actually be more competitive than ever before.
And, well, why wouldn’t it be? The Premier League has the most lucrative television deals of any league in Europe, and it has historically divvied that money up way more equitably than any of the other major European leagues. Among the 30 richest clubs in the world, per the most recent accounting, 16 of them come from the Premier League.
But on a financial level, the rest of the league hasn’t caught up to the traditional Big Six: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. The ratio for the wage bills of the Big Six and the rest of the league has sat around 2.5-to-1 for over a decade. And this past summer, we saw Liverpool and Arsenal spend on player acquisitions in a way that very few other clubs in the world ever could — or ever have.
Except, since the television deal has been distributed more equitably, it means that the Big Six remains competitive with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain for the best players in the world, rather than surpassing them. Plus, as I wrote about a couple weeks ago, the players at the highest-end of the market come with a massive mark-up.
So, not only do the, say, top 100 or so players mostly get split among the Big Six plus these other four, but your dollar doesn’t go as far once you start acquiring these players. And so the rest of the Premier League has more money than ever before, and it’s easier for them to improve than it is for the best teams in the league to improve.
Per analysis by Futi’s John Muller, the Big Six employed 29% of Transfermarkt’s estimated 300 most valuable players in the world back during the 2014-15 season, while just 7% were employed by other teams in England and 64% played elsewhere in Europe. Fast forward 10 years, and the Big Six’s share of the world’s best players has remained stable at 29%, but the rest of the Premier League’s hold on top talent has nearly tripled: up to 18%.
It’s not that these teams are holding onto their players more often than they have in the past, either. Every Big Six club made at least one major signing from a smaller Premier League club this past summer. But rather, it’s that the players who used to play for AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund are now playing for Crystal Palace and Fulham.
When that happens, you don’t get a surprise title challenger in the Premier League, but you do get a team like Aston Villa crashing the top four. And well, you get a Premier League table where, 20 games into the season, the gap between 5th place and 14th place is still only four points.
Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories continue across the state
Brief lull before another wave of heavier snow and mixed showers moves through tonight
WE MAY NOT HAVE COMPLETELY DRIED OUT, BUT THE BULK OF THAT OVERNIGHT RAIN, WINTRY MIX AND SNOW SNOW SHOWER ACTION ON THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN HAS, YOU KNOW, MOSTLY COME TO AN END. THE ROADS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DRYING OUT HERE AROUND THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. THERE’S ANOTHER ROUND OF WHAT WILL BE WINTRY MIX AND SNOW SHOWERS COMING THROUGH THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT, TURNING VERY COLD IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM SYSTEM STARTING FRIDAY. LINGERING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. NEXT WEEK DOES LOOK DRY AND GRADUALLY MILDER. WE STILL DO HAVE ALL THESE ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES AND WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR THIS NEXT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION. THESE WILL STAY WITH US INTO FRIDAY MORNING AND EVEN INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN A FEW SPOTS. SO TODAY IT’S NOT A COMPLETE LOW, BUT ANY MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON PRECIPITATION WOULD GENERALLY BE LIGHT AND PROBABLY BE RAIN OFF THE MOUNTAINS AS TEMPERATURES STILL WARM INTO THE 40S. 50S AND 60S AROUND ROSWELL AND CARLSBAD. WE HIT 5:00 THIS EVENING, AND THAT’S WHEN THERE SHOULD BE A RE INCREASE IN BOTH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF WINTRY MIX AND SNOW SHOWERS THAT COULD BE GETTING HEAVY TOWARDS THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. WE’VE GOT SOME PRETTY GUSTY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON FORECAST OUT IN EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. THOSE WIND GUSTS, THEY COULD BE AS STRONG AS 50MPH. WHERE THE WIND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED. MORIARTY, CLINES CORNERS, SANTA ROSA. AND NOW FOR THAT STRETCH BETWEEN RUIDOSO AND ROSWELL INTO PORTIONS OF EDDY COUNTY. SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT. NOW, MIDNIGHT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL THROUGH CENTRAL, NORTHERN, NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. ALBUQUERQUE DOES DROP BELOW FREEZING, SO SNOW THAT DOES FALL WILL LIKELY STICK AND ACCUMULATE. AND WE COULD BE UPPING THE SNOWFALL TOTALS. WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND. BUT FRIDAY STILL EXPECTING MORNING SNOW SHOWERS AROUND AND ALBUQUERQUE AND ESPECIALLY UP TOWARDS SANTA FE, TAOS, MORIARTY, LAS VEGAS, RATON, CLAYTON SNOW COULD LINGER WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND THESE ARE TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S FOR HIGHS. AND THEY WILL BE PAIRED WITH SOME WINDS THAT ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN THE 10 TO 15 SUSTAINED RANGE. SO WIND CHILL FACTOR WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT. IT MAY NOT FEEL LIKE IT’S ABOVE FREEZING. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL FORECAST SNOWFALL TOTALS INTO FRIDAY YOU KNOW MID MORNING HERE. BUT RECENT COMPUTER MODELS HAVE COME IN MUCH SNOWIER. NOW THESE ARE SOME REAL BIG NUMBERS, PROBABLY WAY TOO HIGH, BUT SOMETHING IN THE THREE PLUS INCH RANGE IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE POSSIBLE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. IT LOOKS LIKE. AND THEN AS THE SNOW WINDS DOWN, LOOK AT THESE COLD TEMPERATURES INTO SATURDAY MORNING, SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS IN THE COLDEST SPOTS. FOR A LOT OF US, IT’S GOING TO BE THE COLDEST NIGHT SINCE WAY BACK IN FEBRUARY OF LAST WINTER SEASON, SO IT’S ALMOST A YEAR SINCE WE FELT IT LIKE THAT. NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO, FOUR CORNERS AREA, WINTRY MIX, SHOWERS CONTINUING OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY. UPPER 30S, LOW 40S. I THINK THE SNOW TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE TO OUR EAST WHEN WE WAKE UP, SO IT’S ALL DONE, BUT WE’VE GOT COLD WIND CHILLS. HIGH 37. IT WILL FEEL LIKE ABOUT 25 IN THE AFTERNOON. SATURDAY. ANOTHER DAY IN THE 30S. WE DO CREEP BACK INTO THE 40S BY SUNDAY. AND THEN NEXT WEEK SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO INCLUDED ON THIS CHANCE AT BOTH RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. IT’S A WET MORNING HERE IN THE AREA, BUT WE DO FIND OURSELVES IN THE 40S AND 50S THIS AFTERNOON. NOTE BY FRIDAY AGAIN, ANY SNOW IS GONE AND OFF TO THE EAST. A WEEKEND KEEPS US IN THE 40S, BUT THE 50S DO RETURN NEXT WEEK IN SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. WELL, WE’RE KIND OF ON THE DRY SIDE OF THINGS TODAY. WE DO HAVE THE WIND IN THE FORECAST. SO REMEMBER THERE ARE WIND ADVISORIES FOR POTENTIAL GUSTS TO 50. HIGHS IN THE 60S FROM ROSWELL TO CARLSBAD. SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR TWO. PROBABLY RAIN, MAYBE WINTRY MIXTURES ON THE MOUNTAINS. WEEKEND. DRY 50 AND 60 DEGREE TEMPERATURES DO RETURN NEXT WEEK IN NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. YOU KNOW WE’RE INCLUDED IN ON THIS CHANCE AT SNOW AND WINTRY MIX. SHOWERS BUT GENERALLY LIGHT STUFF UNTIL THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. HIGHS LOW AND MID 40S. TOMORROW’S HIGH TEMPERATURE ONLY AROUND 30. WE COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW FALLING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION, VERY DIFFICULT. TRAVEL LIKELY, SOME SCHOOL DELAYS AND MAYBE SOME CANCELLATIONS. TOMORROW. THE WEEKEND 39. YOUR HIGH SATURDAY. WE’RE BACK IN THE 40S BY SUNDAY. NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. ALSO WITH THE INCREASE IN WINTRY MIX AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT AND HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED TOMORROW, SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION CERTAINLY CAN’T BE RULED OUT WITH THE SCHOOL DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS. SATURDAY’S HIGH 33 AS THE SNOW IS GONE SUNDAY. WE’RE STILL IN THE 30S 40S THOUGH. NEXT WEEK FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO. WE’VE GOT THE HIGHS BACK AROUND 50 TODAY. SO YOU KNOW ANY ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS BEFORE 5 P.M. WOULD GENERALLY BE LIGHT RAIN AND WINTRY MIX AND SNOW TONIGHT. SNOW COULD BE HEAVY TONIGHT, TOMORROW MORNING. AND THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO 1 TO 3 INCH SNOWFALL LOOKS TO BE THE RIGHT CALL HERE. AND IT COULD EVEN BE MORE THAN THAT SATURDAY. WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BIG COLD WAY BELOW FREEZING IN THE MORNING AN

Brief lull before another wave of heavier snow and mixed showers moves through tonight
It may not stay completely dry this morning, but any morning or early afternoon showers will generally fall as rain and stay light and scattered in nature. Temperatures could still get close to 50 degrees today in Albuquerque. Breeziness is expected and there could be some stronger wind hitting eastern and southeast New Mexico.This evening and tonight we expect an increase in wintry mix and then snow showers with the potential for heavy snowfall through western, central and northern New Mexico. Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories are in effect for many locations due to the potential for heavy accumulating snow and difficult travel conditions. In the Albuquerque metro, a winter weather advisory could be issued as recent computer model runs are coming in with more snow accumulation than perhaps originally thought. We will be monitoring that closely. Right now we are expecting a 1-3″ snowfall for the metro, and it could end up being more than that.Once snow winds down Friday, expect it to turn much colder and breezy/windy with wind chills making it feel like it is below freezing even during the warmest part of the day. Then by Saturday morning low temperatures will be down in the teens and single digits, the coldest temperatures many of us have seen since last February, so the coldest in almost a year!

President Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday that Venezuela will use the money that it draws from a recent oil sale deal with the U.S. on “ONLY American Made Products.”
Those purchases could include agricultural products, medicines, medical devices and equipment needed to fix the country’s beleaguered electrical grid, Mr. Trump wrote.
“In other words, Venezuela is committing to doing business with the United States of America as their principal partner – A wise choice, and a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, and the United States,” the president continued.
Since Maduro’s capture, Mr. Trump has focused on Venezuela’s oil industry, pressing U.S. companies to enter the country — a move he has suggested could help rebuild the oil-rich nation’s crumbling infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has argued that oil could serve as a point of leverage over the remnants of the Maduro regime who continue to run Venezuela.
Earlier Wednesday, Rubio announced the U.S. will export between 30 million and 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, which will be sold at “market rates,” with revenue used “in a way that benefits the Venezuelan people.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Venezuela’s interim government had agreed to release the oil. She added that the proceeds will be put in U.S.-controlled bank accounts and be “dispersed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the United States government.”
It’s not clear how much revenue will be drawn from the oil sales. Venezuelan crude oil, which is tough to refine and has historically faced tight U.S. sanctions, has been sold at a discount in the past, though some refineries on the U.S.’s Gulf Coast are set up to process the kind of heavy crude oil that typically flows from Venezuela, according to Reuters.
American Idol will return to television later this month, and ahead of the new season, Luke Bryan called out Carrie Underwood‘s standout work ethic and professionalism behind the scenes.
Bryan was a guest with Cody Alan on SiriusXM The Highway where he dove into some behind-the-scenes facts from Idol that the average person wouldn’t know.
The “Down to One” singer gushed about Underwood, saying, “Well, you know, the thing you learn about Carrie Underwood is that she is the most on-time person you have ever met.”
What Did Luke Bryan Say About Carrie Underwood?
Bryan continued, “I’m talking about punctual, dialed in, professional. I mean, one minute early — like Bill Belichick taught her how to show up on time.”
He went on to explain, “I’m in my dressing room and I’m feeling pretty good. Then I look up at the monitor to see who’s already in the chair. Let’s say it’s 9:03 — and there’s Carrie, ready to go, just sitting there looking at her nails.”
When Does American Idol Start?
American Idol Season 24 kicks off in 2026, premiering Monday, Jan. 26, on ABC. Episodes will also be available to stream on Hulu.
Back in August, I also spoke with Bryan about Underwood’s role on Idol. At the time, he said he was still getting to know her, but noted that he was already close friends with her husband, Mike Fisher.

“Me and [my wife] Caroline and Mike and Carrie, you know, we’re not having cookouts or anything,” he says, “… but me and Mike, we actually get to fish and golf and do some hunting together.”
Carrie Underwood is undeniably one of the most popular musicians on the planet, with a quick rise to stardom after winning American Idol in 2005. Eight Grammys and countless ACM and CMA Awards later, Underwood is still releasing music and touring. Let’s take a look at Carrie Underwood when she was young, before we met her and when we first got to know this star.

If there are two Cinderella teams left in the College Football Playoff, they face off against one another in the semifinal round in the Fiesta Bowl. Those teams are Miami and Ole Miss, both of which entered the CFP in strange circumstances.
The Rebels lost Lane Kiffin to LSU before the playoff began and promoted defensive coordinator Pete Golding to head coach ahead of the team’s first-round win over Tulane. As for the Hurricanes, they made the playoff largely because of an early-season win over Notre Dame and so the ACC would have at least one representative. Now, the two teams face off on Thursday, with the winner facing the winner of Oregon-Indiana for the national championship.
Kickoff from State Farm Stadium in Arizona is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. FanDuel Sportsbook odds have the Hurricanes as 3.5-point favorites, and the over/under for total points scored sits at 51.5. Miami is -164 on the money line (wager $164 to win $100) while Ole Miss is a +138 underdog (wager $100 to win $138). Here are our best bets for this CFP semifinal round, which we’ve made with the assistance of the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every college football game 10,000 times.
Ole Miss +3.5
The Rebels opened the CFP with their second resounding win over Tulane of the 2025 season, and they were able to knock off Georgia in a thrilling game last week thanks to some heroics from quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. Ole Miss is 9-5 against the spread this year and has covered in each of its last three games. The SportsLine model expects more of the same against Miami, with the Rebels covering the spread in 55% of simulations.
Over 51.5
The Rebels have a high-powered offense and the lowest total they’ve had for a game this year, per SportsLine consensus odds, is 51. Ole Miss is 7-7 to the Over, but the team’s offense is clicking well of late with no drop off since Kiffin’s departure. Chambliss has been a one-man wrecking crew orchestrating the Rebels’ offense as a dual-threat option, and he was a major factor in the Over hitting against Georgia. Miami’s defense has been stellar across the first two rounds, but on the other hand, Ole Miss’ defense can be had and the Hurricanes have firepower on offense along with a veteran quarterback in Carson Beck. Over 51.5 hits in nearly 60% of model simulations.
Ole Miss money line
The SportsLine model has this as nearly a toss up. Its final score prediction is Miami 29, Ole Miss 28, but the Rebels win in 47% of simulations, returning plenty of value on the money line at plus money. Either the Hurricanes will play for their first national championship in over two decades, or the Rebels will advance and try and win their first title since the 1960s in a wild run after losing their head coach.
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Thicker clouds have continued to approach from the west as rain showers in the lower elevations have moved east in with snow mostly accumulating above 7,000 feet in the western mountain communities through the Central Mountains to the northern mountain communities, but snow levels have dropped with some colder air aloft.
