A Couple on the Radar - 4/18 -4/25/2014

BACK UP:  I will make this blog brief, as this chart was compiled a couple weeks back.   It's been very hectic and I haven't had time to blog recently, but here is my chart for the last two weeks of April.     Foster the People holds off Pharrell Williams, as the latter spent a 10th week at Billboard's #1.   The Black Keys storm into the top 10, as well as "Alternative Nation" finds MS MR with the infectious "Think of You".   "Amy's World" by the Hounds of Winter also lands into the top 20.


NEW:   An unlikely debut is at #41 with Mac DeMarco's "Chamber of Reflection", a somber but great song that I discovered when I flipped the dial one notch to "Sirius XM U", an offshoot alternative channel, playing more songs associated with college radio (as opposed to the mainstream alternative (how's THAT for an oxymoron?).   Another high debut is Boyce Avenue, "I'll Be the One".    I was at work and grabbing a cup of coffee at our office cafe, when the TV on there was showing Good Morning America, and this really cool band was playing live.   I had to do some research to figure out who is was, and turned out to be this Puerto-Rico-American rock band based in Sarasota, Florida.    They are a YouTube viral sensation, and it caught my ear.

Finally, "Out of My League" by Fitz and the Tantrums logs its 60th week on the SNS 100.
