What’s charting in college radio
The station has noticed a rise in pop and country music but the scene remains firmly indie. Our top artist this week is Ronnie Stone. He blends Indie and pop styles, creating a smooth feeling and a laid-back experience. Some of his music has a similar sound to ’80s pop, which is good news for fans of that genre. As we roll into next week, we are expecting some new indie and pop releases, matching our current music trend. A few artist recommendations this week: San Fermin, Mumford & Sons with Pharrell Williams, Maggie Rogers, Ty Segall, and Glass Beach.
