Someone toppled Wet Leg…but who?!
NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] It was beginning to feel like Wet Leg may never relinquish their hold on the #1 spot, but it does indeed happen this week in the most dramatic of fashion. New Zealand quartet The Beths explode in points, soaring from their #11 debut last week and leaping straight to #1 with their fourth LP, Straight Line Was A Lie. In doing so, it becomes their third straight #1 album on the NACC 200 and their second to climb from outside the Top 10 to #1. Theirs is just the second album to climb from outside the Top 10 to the top this year, following Japanese Breakfast, who rose 14-1 in April. And rising to #1 in just two weeks on the chart ties them for the fastest climb ever to #1. Their three chart-toppers place them in good company as one of just 10 acts with 3+ #1 albums on the NACC 200.

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.”
