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.
1 1 THE LICKERISH QUARTET Lighthouse Spaceship 1(3) 6
It took no time for this Jellyfish reunion of sorts to top my chart. It’s like they never went away. Jellyfish was a favorite in the early ‘90s which can read about on my 1990 chart blog.
2 2 SHINEDOWN Atlas Falls 1(3) 16
A classic Shinedown ballad and that is a great thing. This is the ninth time they have hit #1 on my chart. The last time they reached #1 was in 2016 with “How Did You Love”.
3 3 ERIC CHURCH Stick That In Your Country Song 1(2) 12
The adventurous country rocker offers biting commentary on his fourth trip to the summit. I am just about to chart his first single from 2006 “How ‘Bout You”. He didn’t start impacting my chart until 2011.
5 4 BRING ME THE HORIZON Parasite Eve 4 9
So many threads to this song, this Brit band likes to change up the lanes. The African chanting at the start hooked me in and helped to mark their first top 10 here. It went top 20 Rock in the States and #1 Rock in the UK.
4 5 REAMONN Promise (You And Me) 3 14
I recently discovered this 2006 song from the German band, making it their third top 5 for me. It has been 9 years since they were last on my chart. I did chart their first single “Supergirl” back in 2000.
8 6 DOVES Prisoners 6 10
“The Universal Want”, their first album since 2009 just hit #1 on the UK album chart. The last time they made my top 10 my in 2002 with “Caught By The River”. “Carousels” moves up to #27 this week as well.
7 7 SAINT MOTEL Preach 7 11
The L.A. band now has 6 top 10’s and a #1 (“Destroyer”) here. The EP “The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Pt. 2” was released on Sept. 18
12 8 DUA LIPA Hallucinate 8 9
This makes 3 top 10’s this year and another that spent 11 weeks in my top 25 for the British songstress. The best dance-pop album in a long while.
6 9 BOSTON MANOR Plasticine Dreams 4 19
This UK band had a couple of songs in 2018 that couldn’t reach my top 150 at the time. Now they have had 2 top 10’s with “Ratking” just dropping to #13.
13 10 DMA’S Criminals 10 6
These Aussie’s hit #8 on my chart in 2018 with “Do I Need You Now”. It looks like they could go top 5 with this one.
10 11 THE SNUTS Elephants 10 11
There is an infectious groove to this one from the UK newcomers. They recently released a cover of “Summer In The City”.
14 12 TYRONE WELLS Time Of Our Lives 12 14
Re-explored Spokane singer-songwriter Wells when I was working on the 2010 blog entries. He went to my top 2 with “More” and “Sink Or Swim” in 2009/10. This heart felt ballad is from his 2010 album “Metal And Wood”.
