No matter how often I listen to “My Love” by Florence + the Machine, my love for it (no pun intended) only grows stronger, and the gorgeous song maintains a firm grip on the #1 spot for a third week. Moving up two notches to #2 is “Chasing Trains” by London singer songwriter HULLAH, another beautiful song I never tire of hearing. In other notable chart movements, my favorite artist Two Feet jumps six spots to #6 with his darkly sexy “Tell Me The Truth”, and Ohio band Caamp leaps 10 spots with their lovely song “Believe”.
Three new songs make their debut this week: “About Damn Time” by Lizzo, her first ever appearance on my chart, enters at #26. I know she’s one of the most popular artists around today, but none of her previous songs have really appealed to me until “About Damn Time”, and I can’t resist its infectious 70s dance groove. At #29 is “Warning Signs” by the wonderful Band of Horses, whose songs never disappoint. And bringing up the rear is “Desperately Wanting”, a haunting collaboration by prolific and talented singer-songwriters Brian Lambert and Marc Schuster.

Among the songs you called out this week my early favorite is Caamp. I noticed they have a new album (“Lavender Days”) coming up on June 24. I also sampled the two other songs that are already available (“Apple Tree Blues” and the title track) and came away with a good first impression. I’ll be curious to check out their entire album.
That Band of Horses song is nice, too – really neat sound! I also like the Brian Lambert/Marc Schuster collaborative tune.
Based on what I heard in the past, Lizzo isn’t in my wheelhouse, but I have to admit “About Damn Time” is, well, pretty damn groovy! 🙂
