Steve Lacy remains at #1 for a second week on my Top 30 chart with his endearing single “Bad Habit”, while Beach Weather‘s dreamy “Sex, Drugs, Etc.” moves up to #2, with Spoon‘s “My Babe” right behind at #3. Entering the top 10 are the delightful “Party4One” by the wildly creative Canadian artist dwi, climbing three spots to #9, and the magnificent “The Echo” by immensely talented British singer-songwriter A.A. Williams, leaping eight spots to #10.
Two songs make their debut this week: the lovely ballad “SNAP” by Armenian singer-songwriter Rosa Linn (aka Roza Kostandyan), who represented her country with the song at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, enters at #26; and “Offcuts” by British alternative pop-rock band Mount Famine, which enters at #30. It’s their second appearance on my Top 30 chart this year; their previous single “Distance” spent 11 weeks on my chart this past April-June.

I like both of your new entries, with a slight preference for Rosa Linn. It’s a safe assumption she’s the first Armenian singer-songwriter I’ve ever heard of – cool! From your top 10 call-outs, I think my favorites are the Beach Weather and Spoon tunes. The dwi song has a good groove!

Thanks Christian. Yeah, I was surprised to learn Rosa Linn was from Armenia, and had performed at Eurovision. I love Spoon, and can’t get enough of Beach Weather’s song.

That Rosa Linn song is nice. I don’t think I’ve heard any Armenian music before.

Yes, it is, and I was surprised to learn she represented Armenia with the song at Eurovision.

I like the Jimmy Eat World track…raw, loud and in your face…and his voice really pops out with that reverb.

It’s a good song. I’m glad they’re still making music.
