As we slide into September, Beach Weather remain on top for a second week with their breezy love song “Pineapple Sunrise”. Lana Del Rey’s “Say Yes To Heaven” moves into second place, while Canadian artist dwi inches up a notch to #3 with his delightfully boisterous “Overrated”.
Three songs enter the top 10 this week, the first of which is the enchanting dream pop gem “Kisses” by British band Slowdive. After slowly inching up my chart since debuting five weeks ago, the song leaps 12 spots to #6. It’s the lead single from their stunning fifth studio album everything is alive, which dropped this past Friday, September 1st. Shockingly, though it was released in late June, “Kisses” hasn’t yet charted either in the UK or the U.S. “Bones” by British rock band HEALER, which features some of the best power drumming of any song I’ve heard in a long while, moves up three spots to #8. “Walk Through the Fire” by one of my favorite American indie singer-songwriters The Frontier also moves up three spots to #9. And after dropping two spots last week, Beck Black‘s exuberant “Puppet Show” enjoys a resurgence, moving back up three spots to #7.
Making their debut this week are “bad idea right?”, the latest single from American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, at #29, and “Overcome” by British alt-rock band Nothing But Thieves, at #30.

Hey Jeff, I think the Spotify playlist URL you added to the Spotify widget was not the correct one for this week (it says July 30 – Aug 5). That being said, it’s interesting to see how much your top 20 has changed in one month.

Oops! How did I make such a dumb mistake? Thanks for letting me know Horacio. Sadly, it goes to show that in all likelihood, most of those who saw the post didn’t bother to actually read it.

It happens, specially when we are in a hurry. I don’t always have time to listen to the whole playlist but I always, always check the new entries. That’s how I noticed the playlist was incorrect. By the way, I really like “Overcome”. I added it to my list of songs to feature a while ago, but I haven’t had time to do so. Hopefully, soon!
