So, where are we as of the end of JUNE 2022? Here’s a look at where we are mid-way in the year — and a good idea of what might make the TOP 40 for year-end.

July 18, 2022 – An album of covers (done very well I might add) almost a year old (Sept 2021) is #1 again this week – David Starr‘s Touchstones takes it by a MILE, blowing past all the heavy weights! (disclaimer, David’s business, Starr’s Guitars, is a supporter of the CP). Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats falls to #5 .. check out the TOP 5 this week and the MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting) below.

CP S16 EP24 2022

Milky Way at Mountain Home Reservoir, Fort Garland CO, June 2022, taken by Claire Mannato (used with permission)

July 11, 2022 – As I stated last week, taking NOTHING away from Alysia Kraft’s brilliant solo debut, First Light – that album’s debut at #2 in the JUNE TOP 30 and landing at #1 in last week’s TOP 5, happened largely because it was featured heavily on Indie 102.3 in June. I expected to see it fall …

First Light fell from #1 last week to a tie for #13 with three other titles. Interestingly, a flurry of spins at a handful of mountain town stations this past week propelled David Star‘s September 2021 release, Touchstones, to the #1 spot for the week.
