Pos./ARTIST/song/BR250 Pos./Points
1 HARRY STYLES Watermelon Sugar 3 1399.9
Appropriately a song that sounds like a breezy summer wind is the #1 trending song of July. The latest single from Styles that is showing up in top 10’s around the world was already a Beyond Radio hit when the album “Fine Line” was 1st released. It reached #22 in December of last year and is now at #3 on the BR250.
2 THE KILLERS My Own Soul's Warning 7 1391.75
The 2nd official radio single from the Las Vegas band is already in the BR250 top 10 at #7 and top 15 at Alternative radio. It has that epic Killers sound, awash in synths and a driving beat.
3 BRING ME THE HORIZON Parasite Eve 52 1318.15
You never know what to expect from this UK band. This song starts with African inspired chanting then goes into a sinister half-rap half-sung verse backed by ominous industrial flourishes and then an explosive chorus. In September 2018 they reached #24 on the BR250 with “Mantra”.
4 JOEL CORRY f/ MNEK Head & Heart 69 1129.4
Corry rose to fame on an MTV reality series in the UK that was a spin-off of “Jersey Shore”. In 2019 he reached the UK top 10 with “Sorry” after it was featured in another UK reality series “Love Island”. This is his third single to reach the UK top 20.
5 BLACKPINK How You Like That 62 975.4
The K-Pop girl group have received a number of Guinness World Records for this new single including the most viewed video on YouTube in a 24-hour period. Haha, How you like that?
6 CAMELPHAT f/ YANNIS Hypercolour 76 965.4
This UK duo first appeared on Beyond Radio in late 2017 with “Cola” that peaked at #37 on the BR250 and made the top 20 in England. They have since reached the top 100 at Beyond Radio 6 times and just missed with a seventh, “Breathe” a #104 peak. This pulsating dance track )with Yannis, the vocalist from Foals) will be the first to reach my personal chart.
7 DOVES Carousels 26 888.8
This ethereal indie rock trio from the UK had a #1 song on my personal chart in 2002 with “Caught By The River” and look to make their first appearance in my weekly top 150 since 2009 with the latest release “Prisoners” This moody percussive track should also follow suit.
8 NOTHING BUT THIEVES Real Love Song 60 868.4
The second song to preview their upcoming album “Moral Panic” is a sweeping, synth-y mid-tempo ballad that reminds me of the Cure and other late 80’s bands. Once again the soaring vocals of lead singer Conor Mason take it to another level.
9 JESSIE WARE Save A Kiss 8 834.45
Her fourth album “What’s Your Pleasure?” just debuted on the UK album chart at #3 and this week 5 songs appear in the BR250. Ware has eclipsed the #9 peak of “Spolight” earlier this year by moving to #8 with this breathy disco nugget. The synths evoke a more subdued Moroder feel than Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”.
10 ERIC CHURCH Stick That In Your Country Song 136 777.55
On an almost opposite end of the spectrum, the most adventurous artist in country music previews an upcoming album with a socially conscious and relevant single. Co-written by prolific songwriter Jeffrey Steele, this undoubtedly with bring him back to my top 10, marking his seventh appearance (including 3 #1’s). It is a true rocker that I’m sure has already stirred up controversy at Country radio. Hard to believe this was written prior to the pandemic and racial tensions of late. And in an unusual turn, he did not assist in the writing of this.
11 RASCAL FLATTS How They Remember You 104 711.25
Jeffrey Steele is responsible for a number of this band’s big hits. They just recently cancelled their farewell tour for obvious reasons. A new EP is coming out at the end of July with a possible album to follow.
12 KANYE WEST f/ TRAVIS SCOTT Wash Us In The Blood 133 700.6
The latest presidential candidate preview’s his 10th studio album “God’s Country” with the second song here with industrial influence. And like #10, plenty of social commentary.
13 BECKY HILL & SIGALA Heaven On My Mind 111 653.6
14 VICTORIA MONET Experience 77 638.3
15 AJ TRACEY f/ MABEL West Ten 176 628.6
16 KATY J PEARSON Take Back The Radio 184 610
17 FONTAINES DC Televised Mind 188 600
18 THE BETHS Out Of Sight 189 599.4
19 SUFJAN STEVENS America 194 594.4
20 MICKEY GUYTON Black Like Me 16 555.7
21 JESSIE WARE The Kill 215 555.6
22 JAWSH 685 f/ JASON DERULO Savage Love 80 528.3
23 SEMISONIC You're Not Alone 143 518.7
24 EVANESCENCE The Game Is Over 239 518.1
25 BEYONCE Black Parade 54 514.6
