#COMUSIC – TOP 30 JAN 2022

February 01, 2022 – Every week I pull spins from thirteen non-commercial radio stations in our state. The data for eleven of them are thanks to Spinitron. Please visit their site and explore.

The last time this chart was updated was for NOV 2021. As you can see, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and the Lumineers have held onto their respective (1) and (2) at the top of the chart. Four other releases from West Side Joe & the Men of Soul, The Velveteers, Chris Daniels/Hazel Miller/Dana Marsh and Magic Beans are the only other holdovers since the last update.

I’m introducing something new this month. Roots Music Report (RMR) publishes a weekly TOP 50 Colorado Album Chart. I’ve included the most recent week ending chart position following the entry here. It will look like #1 RMR 1/29 …. #50 RMR 1/29.

The new album from Yonder Mountain String Band, Get Yourself Outside, isn’t due out until Feb 25, but the first single, Into the Fire, broke into TOP 30. It’s already doing well at RootsMusicReport.com where it landed at #8 the week of Jan 29, 2022. #8 RMR 1/29
