As the year winds down and we approach Christmas, the number of new music releases has slackened off. That said, I do have a sizable group of recently-released songs I plan to place on my Weekly Top 30 chart over the next few weeks as we transition into 2023, so stay tuned. For now, Armenian singer-songwriter Rosa Linn remains on top for a second week with her lovely song “SNAP”, while British singer-songwriter Art Block leaps six spots to #2 with his heart-wrenching “White Horses”. I just love his music. “I Like You (A Happier Song) by music superstars Post Malone and Doja Cat, and “Weird Goodbyes” by The National and Bon Iver, both enter the top 10 after a long, slow climb up my chart. The lone debut this week is “THE LONELIEST” by Italian band Måneskin.

That Måneskin tune is not a bad pop rock ballad. This is the same band who won the 2021 Eurovision song competition for Italy. Unlike most of that contest’s winners who don’t have a lot of staying power it looks like Måneskin may be different. The only other previous winner I can remember who made it really big were Abba. Their 1974 winning song “Waterloo” still is one of my favorites by them.

Thanks for putting some love on Maneskin. Seems like these days people either just love them or hate them, and I don’t completely understand why. It’s just one of those things I guess. I’m in the love category personally. And of course Star Crumbles! Same song in my Top 10 this month too!

I haven’t been that much into Måneskin’s previous singles, but I’m digging the new one. Great list, as always.
