Top 30 Songs for August 27-September 2, 2023

On By EclecticMusicLoverIn Weekly Top 30's

Frequent readers of this blog know that over the past year, American pop-rock trio Beach Weather have become one of my favorite bands on the strength of their breezy, melodic sound and charming and colorful personalities. Their music just makes me feel happy! Originally formed in 2015, the band released two excellent EPs, then went on hiatus in 2017. Thankfully, they reformed in early 2022, and now consist of founding members Nick Santino (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Reeve Powers (bass, backing vocals), and relative newcomer Sean Silverman (lead guitar). This past March, they released their debut album Pineapple Sunrise, which is so good, I can honestly state that I love every track. The summery title track “Pineapple Sunrise” is my new #1 song this week, becoming the third Beach Weather song to top my Weekly Top 30 chart (the previous were “Sex, Drugs, Etc.” and “Trouble With This Bed”). All their videos are delightful, and the one for “Pineapple Sunrise” is no exception!

In other noteworthy chart developments, “Say Yes To Heaven” by Lana Del Rey advances three spots to #3, “Overrated” by brilliant Canadian artist dwi jumps five spots to #4, and “Call Me What You Like” by British indie rock band Lovejoy leaps six spots to #5. Debuting this week are “Running Out of Time” by American alt-rock band Paramore, at #28, and “When We Were Close” by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, at #30.

  2. First of all, Marc says it’s your birthday, it’s not my birthday too, Marc says it’s your birthday, you’re gonna have a good time, I’m glad it’s your birthday, happy birthday to you.

    While the above measly attempt is a perfect demonstration why I could never do what Marc does, I hope you’re having a great day, Jeff!

    Beach Weather’s “Pineapple Sunrise” is a bouncy tune that’s hard not to like! I also love Jason Isbell’s “When We Were Close”. I still haven’t explored his music as much as I would like to. That said, I really like what I’ve heard thus far!
