Here are our Music Charts for the week of March 15-21, 2016
We got some immediate action here on great new adds from Kitten Forever, Iggy Pop and Black Mountain!! I’m also happy to see Madison’s own Droids Attack on top of our Loud Rock charts as well as the Top 30. Lots of other great stuff hanging in there and waiting to be featured as we get back to our more regular programming post-pledge drive. Other adds include Bob Mould, who’s appearing in Madison on 4/20. Hendrik Meurkens makes a surprise debut at the top of our Jazz charts this week with his independently-released album, and Jim Rotondi also has an appearance with his new one on the always swinging Smoke Sessions label. On the RPM side, albums from Ono and Underworld made the top 10 and should also start showing up on our overall Top 30 soon.
