Hey, keep it down, but I got off early, so I'm doing the M10 show before Elvis comes in today! I got one new debut, another set from the 2023 Top 40, and we go to year 1968!
First, let me do the first five of this week's Top 40 installment:
30- Lost, Linkin Park. As cool as it was to do a remix of a vocal from a member of Rock'n'roll heaven right (Beatles take note), It died out a bit for me before it did the rest of the alt world.
29- Are You Bored Yet, Wallows (w/Clairo). One of my 'out of time' numbers, probably my second favorite video this past year.
28- Hollywood Baby, 100 Gecs. Probably my Earworm of the Year.
27- Angelica, Wet Leg. I'm thinking this was a smaller hit for them because, weighed against Chaise Lounge and Wet Dream, it's practically normal.
26- Tek It, Cafune. The first one of theirs I hit, it ruled over January and got me through COVID.
So now let me throw in this week's Debut, a Song I found just because Spotify played it after my shuffle got done. They come in at #9, they are called Levitation Room....
This week in 1968, our three countries all agreed on the #1- the Beatles and Hello Goodbye. Which means we can go right on to the Song I Wouldn't Turn Off. I know at this point going back, we're probably going to be much more divergent from the Australian picks, but that's nothing we haven't been through before, eh? I found 9 songs, and sliced them down to the usual top 3 for your perusal...
Third was a song that charted pretty consistent up north- #26 here and 22 in Canada, but Australia barely heard it at #61- Donovan and Wear Your Love Like Heaven...
Second was #1 everywhere at one point or another- Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue.
And my top song I wouldn't turn off- Once again #1 across North America but only #32 in Australia-
