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:
Dan Snaith (pictured), the man behind the musical project Caribou, owns the #1 album on College Radio this week. New to the countdown are the latest albums from Hozier, Meatbodies, and British solo artist Adam Bainbridge, who operates under the moniker Kindness. Other newbies include Cold War Kids, and big movers from Panda Bear, up 116 spots to #11, and the twelfth studio album from Deerhoof, which debuts at #9. HAERTS own the #1 compact disc on Spicy Radio. When was the last time you listened to “Strangeways Here We Come” by The Smiths?
