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:
It’s three weeks in a row for Canadian Mac DeMarco at the top of the College Radio Album charts. Two albums debut in the Top 20, including the Pixies first album in 23 years, “Indie Cindy.” Also, new to the countdown is Detroit punk band Protomartyr, debuting at #20. Happy 25th Birthday to The Cure’s “Disintegration.” Read an updated review of The Cure’s classic album (pictured) from Billboard Magazine.
