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:
For a second straight week Beck has the #1 album on college radio. Three new albums enter the Top 20, including the latest release from Wild Beasts (pictured), who jump up 19 spots to #14. As we have discussed ad nauseam on this blog, the Wild Beasts LP is titled Present Tense. Real Estate remains #1 on Spicy Radio, I don’t see anyone knocking them out of the top spot anytime soon.
