The Beths & Wednesday Partook in a Battle Royale for #1
NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] It was a wild, down-to-the-wire finish for the NACC 200 crown this week. Last week’s highest-debuting and most-added album from Asheville’s Wednesday led the NACC 200 Building Chart all weekend. In fact, they led it all day Monday and Tuesday as well. But with only five minutes before the reporting deadline, The Beths rose back to #1, where they stayed for all of five minutes. With seconds to go, Wednesday popped back in front to score their second NACC 200 chart-topper. Their 2023 album, Rat Saw God, spent four weeks at #1. And now their follow-up and sixth LP, Bleeds, leaps 11-1. It’s just the second album this year to climb from outside the Top 10 to #1 and the second in a row, as The Beths made the same move at the beginning of the month. And it ties numerous records for the fastest climb ever to #1.

The NACC Community’s Top 10 Favorite Records of 2024
Radio music directors, DJs, promoters, publicists, artists, labels and more share their personal Top 10 favorite records released in 2024.
MD of the Month | Dave Kim, 100.7 Ferndale Radio
“For the most part, the [process for reviewing new music] is going through all the music sent to me and checking the MusicMeeting.Directory every week. I also have Ferndale Radio DJs send me their playlists of any new music they feature on their shows. Ferndale Radio is strongly committed to sharing new music with our listeners. Our rotation of currents is probably larger than many commercial stations’ entire music library.”
MD of the Month | Paavo Passi, Road Salt Radio (The North 103.3 FM Duluth)
“I recently got into the work of the Detroit rapper Bruiser Wolf. I dug his feature on Danny Brown’s Quaranta but his spot on Billy Woods’ last record inspired me to check out his solo work. Lately, I’ve had his album Dope Game Stupid on repeat. He has a super unique flow, unlike anything I’d heard before. Sometimes it seems more like spoken word than rap. The record is filled with hilarious wordplay and earworm hooks. I like the way his brain works.”
