Not a lot of changes to this week’s Top 30, with the songs in the top six spots remaining in place for a second week. Green Day‘s “The American Dream Is Killing Me” is #1 for a third week, while Brittany Howard‘s “What Now” holds on the #2 spot for a second week. The lovely “Cool About It” by boygenius climbs three spots to enter the top 10 at #8. The biggest upward mover again this week is “Lose Control” by Georgia singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, jumping seven spots to #12. The sole debut this week is “nice to know you” by L.A. pop-rock trio lovelytheband, who I had the pleasure of seeing in concert last June. In fact, in addition to lovelytheband, I’ve also seen two other acts on this list – Cold War Kids and Cannons.

The front cover of this Green Day album is a photo from Belfast, and the single video is themed on the Belfast riots too. Curious to know why. I know one of their biggest influences is Stiff Little Fingers. Always love a bit of Green Day.

I thought the new music front this week was off to a slow start, which perhaps isn’t surprising. The number of new albums scheduled to drop Friday, Jan 12 is up significantly compared to last week. I also realize your top 30 list doesn’t necessarily correspond to the calendar year a song first came out.
Anyway, I like your new entry “Nice to Know You”. The song has a pleasant upbeat vibe and a pretty catchy chorus!

Yes, all the songs on this chart were released before November 30th of last year. From what I can tell, Jan 19 looks to be a big day for new releases.
