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.
September’s BR250 sees 4 titles hit the top 25 out of the box with Coldplay and BTS leading the pack with “My Universe” at #9. Not far behind is Ed Sheeran at #11 with “Shivers”. The War On Drugs makes a surprise splash at #15, while Lil Nas X brings a third song to the top 25 this year as “That’s What I want lands at #24.
I don’t think anyone expected Elton john to top charts in 2021 but with an assist from red hot Dua Lipa his mash up of “Sacrifice” and “Rocket Man” jumps 33-2. With his Uber Eats commercials with Lil Nas X, his farewell tour, and multiple collaborations, his profile is front and center this year.
Oppositely, as expected, the return of Abba sees both new songs rise into the top 25. A full 14 songs enter the top 25 this month, that might be a record.
The Weeknd rolls into the top spot, moving 9-1 with “Take My Breath” and other top 10 moves belong to Billie Eilish, Halsley, and Lorde.
