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:
Apparently, during the CMJ Music Marathon the charts are put on hold. For a second week in a row, the latest effort from King Tuff is the #1 album on the College Radio Album Chart. Five albums make their debut in the Top 20 this week. The first belongs to the New Orleans indie rockers Generationals, their fourth studio album “Alix” comes in at #20. Nika Roza Danilovahuge, better known as Zola Jesus (pictured), debuts at #16 with her latest “Taiga.” The other three debuts belong to Broods, The Budos Band, and the Portland, Oregon duo Wampire. Hey, when was the last time you listened to the abum “Laid” by James? “Sometimes” is a fun song! KASABIAN is still not only #1 on my chart, but also #1 in my heart.
