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:
Spoon’s latest album “They Want My Soul” remains at #1 for a second week on the College Radio Album Chart. Four new albums debut in the countdown this week; including LP’s from Benjamin Booker, The Rosebuds, Spider Bags, and 26-year-old English singer-songwriter Tahliah Barnett who goes by the moniker FKA Twigs. Ms. Twigs debuts in the Top 200 all the way up at #20. Chi-city indie rockers Twin Peaks (pictured) continues a steady climb up the charts, jumping five spots to #6. When was the last time you listened to any Berlin?
