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.
Not at all a surprise that “Me!” sees the biggest add week since the inception of this chart. With 42 adds it beats “7 Rings” which had 39 adds on the Feb. 1 chart. What is a surprise is that it only jumped 100-2 on the Billboard Hot 100, shut out by this week’s #29 add “Old Town Road”.
There are other surprises in the top 10 with Stormzy vaulting 95-2 with “Vossi Bop” and Madonna only dropping one position down to #3. Along with her, 2 other 50 year old plus artists land in the top 10. Kylie Minogue debuts at #4 with New York City” with 12 adds and Bruce Springsteen moves 79-8 with “Hello Sunshine” on 8 adds.
Madonna also debuts another song, “I Rise” which lands at #11 with 2 of her 5 adds coming in at #1 and #2. She is not the only artist with 2 songs in the top 20. Bastille places at #12 with “Doom Days” and #15 with the more radio friendly “Joy” at #15.
The other 4 debuts in the top 20 belong to men. Shawn Mendes at #5, Lewis Capaldi #10, Noel Gallagher at #14 and Lauv at #18.
Finally Billie Eilish joins Ava Max with 6 consecutive weeks in the top 10. Not even Ariana Grande has accomplished that.
You can listen to the top 40 plus this week on Spotify.
