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.
Half of last week’s top 10 remain and Billie Eillish spends a second week at #1 and a third in the top 5.
The Jonas Brothers had a total of 20 adds but Eilish was able to hold them off from #1 with only 18. 4 top 10 debuts as opposed to 2 probably was the biggest difference.
K-Pop girl group Blackpink move from outside the top 100 like the Jonas Bros, moving up to # 3 with “Kill This Love”.
Avicci and Aloe Blacc lead a parade of 5 first week releases in the top 20 with “SOS” while the 1975 also return to the top 20 most likely due the song’s release to Alternative radio in the U.S.
You can listen to the top 40 plus this week on Spotify.
