The Foo Fighters remain on top for a third week with their cathartic “Rescued”, while the mesmerizing “Essence”, by Danish electronic artist Refeci and Canadian-American singer-songwriter Shimmer Johnson, slides into the #2 spot. Rounding out the top five are “Not Strong Enough” by supergroup boygenius, “Rescue Me” (lots of rescuing going on!) by L.A. ska band Dirty Heads, and “Leaving” by Michigan singer-songwriter Au Gres. Entering the top 10 are “Why” by British alt-rock band Future Theory, at #7, “Pineapple Sunrise” by Beach Weather, at #9, and “In My Head” by Mike Shinoda and Kailee Morgue, at #10.
The biggest upward mover this week is “The Narcissist” by legendary British band Blur, leaping 10 spots to #12. Two fantastic new songs make their debut: “Overrated” by the brilliant Canadian artist dwi, who’s wonderful album Zoo Life I reviewed last Friday, at #29, and the gorgeous “Last Time Every Time Forever” by also-brilliant Fontaines D.C. front man Grian Chatten. The song is one of the singles from his superb debut solo album Chaos For The Fly.

Nice to see the Foos defending the top spot. I also really like “Why” by Future Theory. The Grian Chatten tune sounds intriguing as well!

While it’s not possible for me me to be “in the loop” as they say, for what is current, reading your posts certainly helps with the illusion. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Randy! There’s simply far too much new music being released every week to even try to keep up with. My lists obviously highlight only a fraction of the songs I like, and I’m sure there are lots of songs I might like even more, except I’ve never heard them!

Love Fontaines D.C. so much. I thought their first album was outstanding and their second was a bit lackluster, then I read the other day about their third release and how they probably took PCP before they made it, and they’re back again with such amazing music. Thank you for sharing Chatten’s solo effort, I’m going to check it out.💀

Wow, I’d not heard that! However they’ve done it, I generally love their music. Grian Chatten’s solo album is marvelous.

I doubt it was for real (the PCP comment), it was just something another reviewer wrote in reference to how trippy the album is (I love it).
