Japanese Breakfast Reclaims #1 on NACC 200
Falling from #1 on the NACC 200 doesn’t always mean an album’s run at the top is over. Ten times previously, we’ve seen artists relinquish #1 only to reclaim it again. Most recently, Sufjan Stevens did it at the beginning of 2024. But Japanese Breakfast does get a special mention as now just the second of those 11 rebounding chart toppers to step way for two weeks and then return to #1. All the others were away for just one week. Until now, only Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings had done it back in 2018. This week, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), out on Dead Oceans, rises back 2-1 to claim a fifth cumulative week at #1. This matches the previous five-week run they enjoyed on top in 2021. With 10 total weeks at #1 on the NACC 200, that moves them into a tie for sixth place (along with St. Vincent, Ty Segall, & Bully) for the most weeks on top.

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 | Alex Lubeck, SiriusXM The Loft
“In 2019 SiriusXM opened up its new Los Angeles studios and I jumped on the opportunity to move to LA from DC. Once in LA, I became the assigned Assistant Music Programmer for SiriusXMU and The Loft – two of my favorite channels on the platform – and in that position I was mentored in programming strategy and philosophy by Chris Muckley, a radio legend in his own right. After a few years of mentorship and Assistant Programming I became a Program Director and took over programming The Loft.”
MD of the Month | Kelli Lynch, WRRG Triton College Radio
“WRRG is celebrating its 50th Anniversary on the air this month. Our DJs will be playing music across the decades. We have a celebratory event on our actual anniversary, 4/28. The President of the college will speak, along with myself and 3 WRRG DJs who went on to have careers in radio. We will also unveil our new logo and give tours of the station.”
