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:
This should come as no surprise, The Black Keys (pictured) own the top spot on College Radio this week. The duo replaces Thee Oh Sees at #1 with their most recent effort “Turn Blue.” Four new LP’s debut in the countdown this week including the latest from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Tobacco, Little Dragon, and Sharon Van Etten. Ms. Van Etten’s album “Are We There” jumps 17 spots and comes in at #5. The Horrors are still my #1 album, and The War On Drugs returns to my compact disc player after a few week absence.
