I still can’t get enough of Beach Weather‘s “Sex, Drugs, Etc.”, and it holds the #1 spot on my chart for a third week. They also dropped a gorgeous new single “Trouble With This Bed” last Friday, November 11th, and it might very likely be topping my chart in the coming weeks. Veteran artist Gorillaz slides into #2, inching ever closer to the top spot with “Cracker Island”, featuring Thundercat. The delightful “Party4One” by Canadian artist dwi, and the hauntingly beautiful “The Echo” by British singer-songwriter A.A. Williams, advance a notch to #4 and #5 respectively.
Three songs enter the top 10 as older ones move down after their long runs: the exuberant “These Are the Days” by Inhaler, the bittersweet “Spit of You” by Sam Fender” and the poignant “SNAP” by Rosa Linn, each climbing three spots to #s 8, 9 & 10. Two new songs make their debut this week: “This is Why” by Paramore, which enters at #26. I’ve never been much of a fan of theirs, consequently this song took a while to connect with me. But I have to concede it’s pretty good. And entering at #30 is “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”, by one of my favorite Australian bands Crystal Cities, which I reviewed a few weeks ago.

That Beach Weather song is definitely cool… I love the haunting vibe! Also, very happy to see “Shadows in the Dark” hanging in there, too! Thanks, Jeff!

Not yet. There’s just too much competition! Plus, I always try to include 5-10 songs I like by indie artists & bands who follow me. I want to support them, and they’re the ones who are more likely to comment or share it on their own social media, whereas most established artists do not. Once in a great while, though, a major artist or band will like my tweet or social media post. Some who have are Cage the Elephant, The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Matt Maeson, Kenny Hoopla, Cannons, Two Feet and Joywave.

I was excited when my daughter told me her class was performing ‘Bad Habit’ for an end of year show but turns out it’s an Ed Sheeran song.

LOL, Ed has a single called “Bad Habits”.

Yeah, she thinks the Ed Sheeran song is better – normally she’d opt for the faster song.

I see what you mean now. Several weeks ago you said something about the sheer mass of great songs that were coming out all at once more recently… clearly this is the case. Extra-big and fluffy props to Foals (just wow), Wet Leg (lol), and Beach Weather (got feelz like Summer). Another proper crushing, my friend.
