There’s not a lot of movement on my latest Weekly Top 30, as the top seven songs from last week remain in the top seven this week, albeit with a bit of shuffling of the ones at #s 2-7. Band of Horses’ beautiful song of unrequited love “Crutch” remains at #1 for a second week, and dwi’s “Good Friend” switches places with Kings of Leon’s “Time in Disguise” for the #2 and #3 spots. Canadian-American singer-songwriter Shimmer Johnson’s wonderful dance-pop song “Starts With You” moves up a notch to #4, followed close behind at #5 by the marvelous spaghetti western-esque “I See the Sun” by British psychedelic pop/rock band Solar Eyes.
There are at least six new songs I wanted to add to this list, but only had room for two: L.A. pop-rock duo Ships Have Sailed’s breathtaking “Broken Hearts” enters at #29, replacing their song “Love in October” after its 14-week run, which itself replaced their previous single “Take My Money”, meaning they’ve continuously had a song on my Weekly Top 30 since mid-August of last year. Welsh artist Secret Postal Society’s uplifting couplet “Something From Nothing/Points of Light” enters at #30.

That Band of Horses tune and video are neat. I need to further check out this band. I also continue to like your Kings of Leon, dwi and War On Drugs picks.
Your new entries sound intriguing as well. I neither had heard of Ships Have Sailed nor Secret Postal Society.

Band of Horses have been around quite a long time, and I need to check out more of their music catalog as well. I love the music of Ships Have Sailed, and have featured them numerous times on my blog. Secret Postal Society was created by Craig Mapstone at the end of 2020, and I recently wrote about him and the fact he wrote and recorded a new song every week of 2021.

I’m just started listening to Band of Horses’ “Infinite Arms” album from 2010. So far I like what I’m hearing.
I hope to further check out Ships Have Sailed and Secret Postal Society as well.
I remember your post about Craig Mapstone – writing a new song each week for an entire year is incredible. It’s got to hard to constantly stimulate your creativity!
