Brittany Howard remains at #1 for a second week with “What Now”, while Green Day‘s “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and Teddy Swims‘ “Lose Control” hold at #2 and #3 for a second week as well. boygenius move up two spots to #4 with “Cool About It”, and Mitski holds at #5 again with “My Love Mine All Mine”. Otherwise, there’s quite a bit of movement on the rest of the chart as several long-running hit songs move downward, making way for several that have been stuck in the lower reaches for weeks.
“Nothing Matters” by English all-female band The Last Dinner Party leaps 10 spots to enter the top 10 at #10. It took me a while to warm up to this song for some reason I can’t explain, but now I love it! “How Did You Get Here?” by English singer-songwriter Antony Szmierek moves up five spots to #12, “Blame Brett” by The Beaches, another all-female indie rock band, jumps six spots to #13, “Northern Attitude” by Vermont singer-songwriter Noah Kahan and Irish singer-songwriter Hozier leaps nine spots to #14, “Pretty Vicious” by English rock band The Struts moves up six spots to #15, and “Winter Cowboy” by English crooner Frank Joseph also moves up six notches to #16. Jumping eight spots each are Future Islands‘ “The Tower”, to #17, English singer-songwriter Bakar‘s “Alive!”, to #18, and American rapper Jack Harlow‘s “Lovin On Me”, to #21. “Mother Nature” by American psychedelic pop-rock duo MGMT, moves up seven spots to #20. The sole debut this week is “Normal People Things” by yet another English act, indie rock band Lovejoy, entering at #30. It’s their second song to appear on my chart, the first being “Call Me What You Like” last year.

Totally see why “What Now” sits a top. It’s funky, it’s pop, it’s a super slick production. Lovin the Mitski pick too, she’s one of my favorites that I have a special bond with my daughter on (she introduced me to it). Got tickets to take her to see Sir Chloe, similar in genre in March! Love that Schuster track too, Marc has been wowing me lately about his background around his piano playing

Brittany Howard is totally badass! Mitski’s sound couldn’t be more different from Howard, but that’s the beauty of music and my eclectic tastes. Marc is a true living legend on so many levels, not to mention that he’s one of the kindest, most generous people I’ve met through my blogging.

Why thank you Ben! I realize that my tastes trend more toward dream pop, alt-rock and R&B than yours, so that means a lot to me.

Gosh, I tell you Jeff, it may lean seem way on some things but you’d be surprised just how much stuff I deeply appreciate. Music has saved my life in so many ways and everyone’s perspective is something I’m moved by.

In addition to Green Day, from the songs you highlighted this week, I think my favorites are by The Last Dinner Party, The Beaches and The Struts. While it’s sad to see “Now and Then” fade away, all things must pass! 🙂

Thanks Christian. Yes, I always hate dropping songs down my charts, and ultimately off, but have to make way for newer songs to have their day in the sun, so to speak.

Makes total sense, Jeff. Otherwise, essentially, you’d always have the same songs.

True, just like the Billboard Alternative charts, where some songs spend months and months at #1.
