Overall Blog Statistics & The Ten Most Popular Pancocojams Posts (2016)

Compiled by Azizi Powell

Updated with Editor's comment - December 23, 2016

This pancocojams post provides information about the meaning of the blog name "pancocojams" and provides statistical information about this blog.

Publishing these links in one post makes it easier for me- and hopefully you - to enjoy these posts again, and also provides an opportunity for you to check out some posts that you might have missed.

Explanation of the name "pancocojams":
"Pancocojams" is an expansion of the title that I coined* for my previous (now inactive) cultural website- "cocojams". "pancocojams" means "Black cultures around the world"
"pan" = worldwide
"coco" = chocolate (= Black people)
"jams" = music (expanded meaning - "cultures")

*It was only much later that I found out that "cocojams" was a previously existing word.

*Note that this post was first published in 2012 and is listed as #4 of the most viewed pancoojams posts since this blog was started. However, for some reason, when I used Google Search to look up that title, I got an error page. Consequently, I re-published that post in 2016 without the original post's comments.

EDITOR'S NOTE (12/23/2016)
In all fairness, I should note that in only about one month this pancocojams post on another viral dance challenge/meme* "The Black Gospel Source Of U Name It Challenge"... http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-black-gospel-source-of-u-name-it.html has received 429 visitor view (hits)- not counting my visits to that post. That's a lot of pancocojams visitor views for that time period.

I recognize that these annual "popular pancocojams viewer hits" posts aren't fair to those posts that are published late in the year. If any of those posts have lots of hits, I'll include them as Bonus posts next year.

*Other viral dance challenge/memes that pancocojams has featured are "Watch Me ("Whip/Nae Nae"), "Hit The Quan" and "Juju On The Beat".

Here's the hyperlink for Part I of the pancocojams series on the Nae Nae: "How The Nae Nae Dance Got Its Name" http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-nae-nae-dance-got-its-name.html. The links for the other viral dance posts are given above.

UPDATE: 12/24/2016
Here's a link to another pancocojams post that was published in late November 2016 that has 428 viewer hits as of this date: http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-real-meaning-of-lyrics-i-am-not.html What "I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot" REALLY Means In The Hamilton Musical
