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:
Mac DeMarco rules the top of the charts for a fourth week, while five new albums enter the Top 20. “Everyday Robots,” the first-ever solo album from Blur frontman Damon Albarn (pictured) debuts in the Top 200 countdown all the way at #16. The lastest effort from San Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees jumps up 60 spots to debut at #4. Other albums new to the Top 20 include the latest from Woods, Chad VanGaalen, and Death. The Afghan Whigs “Do To The Beast” remains at #1 on Spicy Radio.
