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:
Parquet Courts hold the #1 spot on the College Radio Album Charts for a second straight week. PHOX is a reentry at #18, while the latest from A Sunny Day In Glasgow and The Fresh and Onlys are new to the countdown. The latest effort from Bob Mould (pictured) “Beauty and Ruin” holds at #8. My top albums stay exactly the same as last week.
