Beach Weather remain at #1 for a third week with their gorgeous and cinematic Spaghetti Western-esque “High in Low Places”, which I love more with every listen. Nine days ago, they released their latest and appropriately-titled single “Hottest Summer on Record”, which is guaranteed to appear on my chart in the coming weeks. Pearl Jam‘s “Wreckage” holds at #2 for a second week, while “Starburster”, by the always remarkable Fontaines D.C. moves up two spots to #3. I love this song, and can’t get enough of its contrasting bombastic and melodic brooding vibe. twenty one pilots‘ poignant “The Craving” also advances two spots, to #4, while “Lost In Space” by Foster the People is this week’s biggest upward mover, jumping six spots to #15.
Three songs make their debut this week, the first of which is the wonderful Latin-flavored “Oh No!” by The Decemberists, entering at #28. Along with “Burial Ground”, which spent two weeks at #1 and now sits at #21, the esteemed band currently has two songs on this chart. Both are from their excellent latest album As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again. Next up is “You Just Played My Mind” by English singer-songwriter Oli Barton, which I reviewed upon its release on June 21. This is his sixth song to appear on my chart over the past seven years. Entering at #30 is “War” by English alt-rock band Healer, which also came out on June 21st, and which I also reviewed. This is their second song to appear on my chart, their first being last year’s “Bones”.

Sorry, I have been away and very behind on my reading! That Beach Weather tune is quite good. The Decemberists still going strong. Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, it’s a topsy-turved world is it not?

No problem Randy, as we’re all entitled to a break from writing and reading blog posts from time to time. I sometimes fantasize of quitting both for an extended period! I Iove everything Beach Weather does, and yes, Post Malone has certainly been expanding his musical horizons by collaborating with the likes of both Wallen and Taylor Swift.

lots of goodies here, I’ve been cherry-picking a few for my itunes basket – Beach Weather, Fontaines DC, Black Keys, so thanks for the discoveries. They can join The Marias, Djo, Awolnation, Sabrina, Foster, Post Malone, and Hozier on my car stereo CD compilations. I’m so retro with download and cd’s! 🙂
