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.
It’s been a while since I posted my personal chart. Check out the playlist on Spotify. Probably a lot of songs you’ve never heard. Definitely Pop/Rock, Alternative heavy. Bullock Hearts is a fun Swedish band who have put out a series of singles since 2013. Another song of theirs, “See You Later”, topped my chart in September.
Gabe Dixon is a purveyor of piano pop that I first heard in 2009 with his song “Find My Way” which I did not remember but am re-discovering now. He is also a member of Tedeschi Trucks Band who reached #1 on my chart in 2016 with “Anyhow”.
Britain is represented in the top 10 by Bastille, The Vaccines, Sea Girls, and World’s First Cinema.
Palaye Royale is a Canadian/American band based out of Las Vegas.
If you told me 10 years ago that Night Ranger would have 5 top 10’s and 2 #1’s on my chart between 2017 and 2021 I would have been suspect, but here it is.
Daughtry will jump into the top 10, and most likely soon secure the #1 spot with the smoking “The Victim”. Nice to see them going more towards melodic hard rock again.
Of course, it’s no surprise to see Keith Urban in my top 10 and he should show up again soon with “Crimson Blue”. His song “Forever” looks like it will be another year-end top 10 for me. It would be his 16th song to rise to that level with #1 of the year 5 times.
Down towards the bottom of the top 100, Eric Church is the odds on favorite to score his second #1 of the year with his awesome “Russian Roulette”. In the 2018/2019 cycle, he was #1 of the year with “Desperate Man”. He’s had 5 #1’s and 2 more top 5’s in the last 10 years. Definitely one of the more adventurous country artists out there.

2 1 MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA Bed Head 1 9
The Atlanta band just released their 6th album since 2006, “The Million Masks Of God” on April 30.
1 2 THE LICKERISH QUARTET Sovereignty Blues 1(3) 15
The former Jellyfish members achieved their 2nd #1 on my chart, after last year’s “Lighthouse Spaceship”, both spending 3 weeks at #1. “Do You Feel Better” just slipped from 9-12 this week. Member Roger Manning Jr. recently also spent 3 weeks at #1 with “The Quickening” and is currently moving up with the very Partridge Family “Love’s Never Half As Good” moving 117-75, an almost assured top 10.
3 3 ONR f/ SARAH BARTHEL Must Stop 3(2) 10
Something about this song from Scotsman Robert David Shields just infiltrates my brain. The song reached the top 25 at Alternative radio earlier this year.
4 4 KEITH URBAN Forever 1(2) 14
I wasn’t sure if Urban would get a #1 song on my chart from his current album but here it is. I do enjoy it when he jams out on the guitar. His latest single, “Out The Cage”, reached #9 on my chart in December while “One Too Many” only made it to #37. ‘Cage’ is his most non-country song to date so we will see how it performs on radio.
5 5 1927 Tell Me A Story 3(3) 12
I resisted having this song hit #1 only because it is 30 years old. It totally brings me back to the INXS/Icehouse era.
7 6 LUCAS HAMMING Falling 5 13
I can’t remember how I came across this song from the Dutch singer and actor. It probably came on as a Spotify suggestion which I am certainly happy about. A nice slice of upbeat pop/rock.
10 7 BOSTON MANOR Brand New Kids 7 15
This is the 3rd song by the British pop/punk band to reach my top 10 in the last year, following “Ratking” and “Plasticine Dreams”.
13 8 FOO FIGHTERS Making A Fire 8 11
The Foos may have simultaneous top 10’s in the next few weeks as “Medicine At Midnight” moves up to #17 this week.
8 9 ALLIE X Glam! 7 12
The Canadian pop singer only reached my top 100 one other time, #62 in 2016 with “All The Rage”. In retrospect, that song should have gone much higher.
12 10 ONE NIGHT ONLY Say You Don’t Want It 10 9
Another Spotify discovery, this band had a top 10 hit in the UK in 2008 with “Just For Tonight”. This single from 2010 reached #23.
6 11 YOU ME AT SIX Suckapunch 4 17
This Brit band just scored their highest charter on my chart with this. In 2014 they reached #10 with “Room To Breathe”.
9 12 THE LICKERISH QUARTET Do You Feel Better 9 16
16 13 THE CHAIN GANG OF 1974 Fall Into Me 13 8
This band is the synth-pop side of California native Kamtin Mohager. It will go top 10 next week. He has also been a member of Teenage Wrist and formed a new grungey band Heavenward last year. Teenage Wrist has had 9 songs on my chart, the highest chart “Taste Of Gasoline” at #50. Heavenward’s “Hole” reached #67 last November.
18 14 KYLE FALCONER Stress Ball 14 9
Another Scotsman, this is his first appearance on my chart. He was a member of the band The View that placed 3 songs in the UK top 20 in 2006/07, “Same Jeans” peaking at #3. Funny if you go to One Night Only’s Spotify page the View is a suggested similar band.
15 15 JESSIE WARE Remember Where You Are 15 10
The long-standing BR250 top 10 song gives Ware a 2nd song in my top 15. Last June “Spotlight” reached #10.
11 16 KAMERON MARLOWE Burn ‘Em All 8 15
Singing competitions are fuel for a couple of up-and-coming Country artists on my chart. Marlowe was on “The Voice” in 2018 and at #19, Casey Barnes was on “Australian Idol” in 2009. Marlowe was on team Blake Shelton originally (Shelton’s “Minimum Wage” is a former 2 week #1 falling to #20 this week) but was ultimately stolen by Adam Levine.
