Here’s the weekly Top 20 College Radio Albums from the Radio 200 list published by CMJ (College Media Journal). The reputable rag surveys up to 600 college radio stations of a weekly basis to compute the list.
In addition, here’s my Spicy Six Albums of the week. These are the six albums that can’t find their way out of my six disc changer. The list consists of my Top 5 Albums of the week, and one Heritage Album that’s worth dusting off and giving a listen.
Here’s the lists:
That’s 3 weeks in a row at #1 for Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, while 6 new albums make their appearance in the Top 20. Some notable big movers include: Dum Dum Girls “Too True” jumping 52 spots all the way to #2, and “Trouble” by Hospitality (pictured) climbing 70 spots to #12. This week also marks the point where we begin to witness the slow and painful death of The Reflekors album “Reflektor.” Looks like they might be surveying quite a few high school radio stations… how else do you explain #16
Shake up on Spicy Radio as Broken Bells debut at #1. Man, I’ve had that track “Leave It Alone” on repeat all week. Don’t worry… Sky is still in there.
