M10 show week #102

 

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-

Strawberry Alarm Clock's Incense and Peppermints!

**************************************************

Next five on the Top 40 of 2023 (I almost typed 1968, lol!)

25- Destroyer, MAGS.  I need to check that lp for more songs...

24- The Way, Manchester Orchestra.  My favorite lyrics of the year.

23- Easy, Bethany Cosentino.  Her big solo year, and the first of 2 hits on the list.

22- Black Magic, Beach House.  The biggest of M10 stars with a one-off single.

And...

21- Look Up Child, Lauren Daigle.  Her second hit on the chart for the Christian superstar.

*************************************************

And now, the rest of the M10...

10- Tile By Tile drops a bit too far to #10, meaning Alvvays biggest hit will not be changing- yet.

8- Saint Asonia holds with Wolf.  

7- TCH (because Trans Canada Highwaymen is just too long!) up 3 with Heartbeat It's A Lovebeat.

6- And holding for boygenius and Cool About It.

5- Floating back up a pair, Lily and Madeline and Windowless Bedroom.

4- Juliana Hatfield, part one- Sweet Is The Night, up one.

3- And holding, Built To Spill and Carry The Zero.

2- At least this week, down to #2, Real Estate and Water Underground.

And the new #1- 

...Juliana Hatfield, part two, and Showdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All right, time to hit my little button and put this in the can!  See ya next week, Lord willing!

(Much later) Clik... slam!

Elvis:  All right, looks like I beat the boss in today!  Imma hide unner his desk and scare the crap outta him when he comes in!

(Much, much later)

Man, what a day fer him ta be late... my legs are fallin' asleep!   An' I'm getting hungry....
