Well this weeks chart continues the domination of the ladies as now 9 of the Top 10 songs are sung by female singers and it looks to remain that way as songs from TORRES, Chastity Belt, Bjork and Zella Day all look primed for Top 10 success.
As of now though, no one is coming close to touching my favourite Australian, Courtney Barnett. Her "Pedestrian At Best" song is so far out in number 1 it might as well be number 1, 2, 3 & 4 (yep, KRS-One reference there for you). The ladies from Purity Ring, Chvrches, Waxahatchee and Miss Natalie Prass are all on her heels though. New to the top 10 is another female artist, Brooklyn's Mitski. A fuzzy pop singer who's "Townie" song grows on you like many of the new modern-retro music seems to these days. She's pushes up to #7.
New to the Top 30 are 6 songs, of course 4 of them by the ladies. Most notably, Chastity Belt, who are an all female rock band from the Seattle area, not unlike new comeback artists Sleater-Kinney. While they may not sound like SK, Chastity Belt has a cool sound and will be touring with our number 1 artist, Courtney Barnett, this spring.
So now we have Purity Ring and Chastity Belt both in the Top 30, haha.
Other new songs are Toro Y Moi's new song "Empty Nesters" which is a departure and more upbeat song than his previous work. Bjork also re-enters the Top 30, after a long hiatus, with the lead track from her new 2015 record, Vulnicura. Finally Fairfax, VA band Doldrums puts their first ever Sonick Radio single into the Top 30 with "Hotfoot".
