Weekly Top 30 July 5th

Our first top 30 for the second half of the year! We should have about 250 great songs already with 250 more to come in the next 6 months. 

The first Top 30 of 2015, part 2 sees Hundred Waters' singer Nicole Miglis in the number 1 spot, finally! We knew it would happan and faster than most (in just 4 weeks!) and it finally did, knocking the mighty Courtney Barnett off the top! But she may not be there long as an awesome song by Diplo project Major Lazer has taken off and looks to be the groups first number 1 song! "Lean On" is a chill riding song with the special guest and Sonick Radio veteran, MO from Denmark.

Weekly Top 30 June 28th

Getting behind again on posting but not on making the charts. They are still going on as scheduled so hopefully we will catch up soon.

The last full week of June sees Courtney Barnett with her second week at #1 with "Depreston" the lazy ballad of moving to the suburbs and perhaps slowly dying! Coming close is the Hundred Waters' Nicole Miglis' acoustic piano version of "Show Me Love" and LA punk group FIDLAR enters the top 10 with "40oz. on Repeat"

Speaking of Courtney Barnett, she enters the Top 30 this week with a third single from her proper debut album, with "Dead Fox", another funny yet political and thought provoking song this time exploring the environment and capitalism.

Weekly Top 30 June 21st

We have a new #1 and it is Courtney Barnett's second #1 song of this year! "Depreston" is a much different song than "Pedestrian at Best" but it is just as great. 

Coming in at number 4 is the Hundred Waters / Nicole Miglis solo version of "Show Me Love" which will be #1 at some point there is little doubt!

Jamie XX and Tame Impala both hit the Top 10 and LA punk band FIDLAR screams into the Top 30 with their slacker song 40oz on Repeat.   Also new is a re-entry from NYC instrumental band Ratatat.

Weekly Top 30 June 14th

Midway through the 6th month of the year and it seems we have another contender for song of the year! The Chemical Brothers first album in 5 years is out this summer and lead single "Sometimes I Feel So Deserted" is showing up strong!

There are many great songs in the Top 10 right now, proving that summer is really when the big songs hit. Most notably is the #10 song which is a DEBUT! Not many songs debut in the Top 50 let alone the Top 10! This song is quite amazing though. Hundred Waters took the countdown by storm last year with 2 Number 1 songs, both making the Top 25 of the year. This time it's just vocalist Nicole on the piano remixing the opening track from their 2014 debut album. 

The song starts with just some random piano notes and grows a bit more frollicking before dying out completely to reveal Nicole singing the verses of the song. As she enters the end of the lyrics, which are not many, the piano solo turns into a true thing of beauty. The song is probably the most beautiful thing I have heard in a long time and almost debuted at #1!
