Hello! Here are the charts for this last week. A great week for music on KZSC, with plenty of new releases being spun that didn’t even chart! Our new schedule is definitely providing some great spins for new releases.
Check out the number 3 band on the Radio 200 charts, the Harlem Shakes, if you’re into electric pop music kind of like Vampire Weekend but with a little more to it, a little rougher around the edges. I’m a fan.
The same goes for Pomegranates, who follow them at number four. Really good music to blast on your way to the beach or the lake or anywhere cool on a warm day. It’ll get you up. A good pop sound to the charts these days.
Jeremy Jay brings his disco-guitar infusion to number eighteen, Telekinesis tightly brings it at number twelve, and The Long Lost bring some electro-pop/folk towards the bottom of the charts. Have a great week! Tune in for new music on KZSC.
