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.
“Watermelon Sugar” sees enough of an increase over the last 2 weeks to overtake “Rain On Me”, which eroded more than a third of its points. “Hallucinate” is right on Harry Styles heels and knowing the nature of this chart it could become her 4th #1 of the year. Dua Lipa also returns to the BR250 at #41 with the remix of “Levitating”, beating its old peak of 44. Kylie Minogue gets pushed down 1 spot while Taylor Swift holds steady at #5 with “Cardigan” in addition to moving up 17-7 with “Exile”. This week Swift has 8 songs on the BR250.
2 songs from the top 10 of the last Trending chart splash into the top 25. Bastille moves 33-12 and Billie Eilish 37-17. Right behind her, Miley Cyrus crashes onto the chart at #17 with a her straightforward dance-pop confection “Midnight Sky”, already #2 on the UK airplay chart. UK songstress Raye follows 2 major 2020 hits as a featured vocalist (Regard’s ‘Secrets” and Jax Jones’ “Tequila”) and surges 29-14 with her infectious “Natalie Don’t”. The song just reached the UK top 20 and made it to #5 in Israel.
The final new entry to the top 25, “For Sure” by Baltimore’s Future Islands, is from their forthcoming album “As Long As You Are”. The synth-pop track is currently top 15 on AAA radio. Just missing the top 25 is “WAP” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion at #26. It was last week’s #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I have no words for this song.
