Vacation and the living is fine but the charts are delayed

I spent the last week in Palm Springs and as is typical when I go on vacation Beyond Radio falls a little behind. I hope I can get back up to speed quickly. Here is the latest Untapped Resources chart, led by the big jump by Jorja Smith. With its undercurrent piano line and her similar vocal style, it has a feel reminiscent to Sia’s “Breathe Me”.

Elsewhere in the top 10 we have the return of Simple Minds, a family band from Australia, a Disney groomed pair, my fave progressive band, UK indie darlings finally reaching the upper reaches, Toto and Kate Voegele staying strong and Kelly Clarkson moving back up to her peak position.
