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:
After 5 weeks at the top of the College Radio Album Chart, Ty Segall falls to #2. The new #1 album on College Radio belongs to Kyle Thomas, better known in the indie world as King Tuff (pictured). Three albums make huge moves within the Top 200 to debut in the Top 20. The first is from Ex Hex, a band fronted by Mary Timony from the recently disbanded Wild Flag. The trio’s debut album “Rips” is up 17 spots to #9. The second new entry belongs to experimental hip hop artist Steven Ellison, aka Flying Lotus, he moves 74 spots to #6 with his latest “You’re Dead.” Finally,”Our Love” the sixth studio album from Caribou jumps 44 spots all the way up to #4. KASABIAN’s fifth studio album “48:13” is the #1 album on Spicy Radio this week. When was the last time you listened to “Going Blank Again” by Ride?
