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:
Ty Segall (pictured) tops the College Radio Album Chart for a second straight week. New albums galore, seven to be exact, enter the countdown. The latest solo effort from Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O, and the sophomore album from the Canadian duo Death from Above 1979 make their debut in the Top 200 all the way up in the Top 20. Other newbies include albums from The Kooks, Blonde Redhead, Ryan Adams, and Tennis. Meanwhile, Jillian Rose Banks, simply known as Banks, is a huge mover, up 114 spots to debut at #11. Furthermore, Long Beach California’s pride and joy, Avi Buffalo, jump 14 spots inside the Top 20 up to #6. The new #1 album on my Spicy Six is “Worship The Sun” from the Los Angeles based indie band Allah-Las. When was the last time you listened to The House Of Love?
