This week we had to say goodbye to some of our bigger named artists that were previously on our Top 30 such as Lana Del Rey, Coldplay, and Atmosphere. However, we added some great new artists to fill their roles such as Yelle, an electronic French artist, King Tuff, a popular alternative rock band, and The Left Ready a new indie rock band with a bright future ahead of them.

Moving up the list this week we have Go Back to the Zoo who were a top 5 add two weeks ago. Their indie pop rock sound immediately caught our DJ’s attention. Grace Weber, one of our favorites at the station has also moved up chart this week. We had the pleasure of interviewing her this morning and will be posting up a podcast of the interview in the next couple of days. Also moving up we have Pale Hands who have recently become a hit with our DJ’s here at KMSC. What’s not to like about dreamy female vocals over melodic electronic sounds and beats?

Keeping a steady presence on our chart is are two of CMJ’s favorites Ryan Adams and Ty Segall. It’s no surprise to see these two coming out, yet again, with a solid album. Also staying steady at the top of our charts we see Black Taxi and Tennis. I predict these two artists will be staying up at the top for awhile!

Cobalt Cranes, who were a top 5 add for us last week were added this week to the Top 30. They received a good amount of plays last week from our DJ’s, which bumped them to be in the middle top of the list this week. Grace Weber, another top 5 add from the week prior, will be on the air soon for an interview this coming week. Her soulful voice is what sparked our DJ’s ears and put her in the Top 30 this week. The Coldplay album and Lana Del Rey’s album have been getting some great spins at the station with the Arctic Monkeys and Atmosphere following close behind. Also new to our Top 30 this week is Ryan Adams new album. He’s been a popular artist for years on college radio stations. Keep your eye on him this next week as I predict this album will be moving up in our Top 30 next week!
