OLD BLUE JEANS

Is it possible to be TOO OLD to wear jeans? I say no . . . even if you’re 90, hike those things up and wear them like you’re BROOKE SHIELDS. But apparently, everyone else says YES.

According to a new survey, people say the average age when you should stop wearing jeans is . . . 53.

Here are some of the other less offensive results from the survey . . .

1. The average person tries on three pairs when they’re shopping for jeans . . . and 6% have burst into TEARS during the process.

2. When we find a good pair, we wear them for an average of three years. But 5% of people wear them for more than 10 years.

3. People wear jeans an average of five times before they wash them.

4. And 5% have worn them to a job interview, a wedding, or a funeral.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
