These are the top 100 songs that are making gains at mid-month
February 2020
POS/ARTIST/SONG/POINTS/OVERALL IN TOP 500
1 DUA LIPA Physical 2193.85 7
Another month, another Dua Lipa song in the top 5. This is the official 2nd radio single, though I think “Future Nostalgia” would sound great on the radio. I hear shades of Patti Labelle’s “New Attitude” in this one.
2 GROUPLOVE Deleter 1395.45 13
About 10 years into their career, Grouplove are back with this top 20 Alternative single, a frenetic stomper.
3 PEARL JAM Dance Of The Clairvoyants 1381.2 19
Electronics and a groove! What’s happening? I think I like it. It’s nice to see bands well into their career take some risks. Another 3 decade old band, Green Day, are showing a new side as well with “Oh Yeah” and “Meet Me On The Roof”.
4 THE 1975 Me & You Together Song 1311.6 15
I’m sorry but the 1975 kinds of bores me. Maybe it’s his voice. This song is kind of jangly so exhibits a bit of a retro feel.
5 TAME IMPALA Lost In Yesterday 1191.8 11
Kevin Parker has a similar lilting vocal quality. Maybe the psychedelic nature of his music raises this above the 1975. After 4 singles in 2019, the album “The Slow Rush’ (an appropriate title), came out on Feb. 14. Surprisingly “Patience” is not on the album.
6 HAYLEY WILLIAMS Simmer 1141.85 29
I’ve been hot and cold on Paramore during the years but this is a nice change of pace for Williams. The smoldering single has a Kate Bush vibe to it.
