Beyond Radio is the place where music discovery and music nostalgia collide. It is your one-stop source for playlists, music charts, remembrances and recommendations. Our Podcast and music therapy playlists combine elements of nostalgia and discovery, while my blog entries reflect on our musical past through the lens of my personal charts from decades past. I weave a story that includes the connection between artists, chart facts and personal anecdotes that hopefully conjure a connection to the soundtrack of your own life. The current charts and playlists are updated monthly or bi-monthly (bi-weekly for the BR250) and are curated based on a passionate audience that produce their own personal charts weekly.
On the December Beyond Radio 250 even the ubiquitous Ariana Grande could not stop the Ronson/Cyrus juggernaut. “Thank You, Next” had to settle for the runner-up position for a second month.
Ava Max’s “Sweet But Psycho” moves into the top 5, adding 31 charts this month. The other songs with over 20 adds during the month include Jax Jones’ “Play”, Grande’s “Imagine”, Avril Lavigne’s second single release of the year “Tell Me It’s Not Over” and Grimes Alt-(Pop?) gem “We Appreciate Power”.
Beyond Radio’s Personal Chart Adds Top 100 plus, December 30
The Genre charts are based on the past 4 week adds trend.
After 3 massive weeks Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus only get 3 adds this week and fall out of the top 30. This makes way for “Imagine” by Ariana Grande to move from 2-1, doubling her chart total. Sam Smith climbs up to #3 in the second week of release for “Fire On Fire”. Ava Max moves back into the top 5 on 8 adds, now on 78 charts.
After a 10 year hiatus, Jack White’s side band the Raconteurs place 2 songs in the top 25 with “Sunday Driver” at #6 and “Now That You’re Gone” at #23.
5 Seconds Of Summer have teamed up with Julia Michaels on a new single “Lie To me” which comes in at #13 in its first week out. Just behind is Allie X’s Christmas single “Last Xmas”.
You can listen to the top 30 adds this week on Spotify.
