Mitski, Snail Mail & Arlo Parks Brawl For #1
NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] As the NACC Chart was being assembled this week, each of Mitski, Snail Mail, and Arlo Parks occupied the #1 spot. When the dust settled, Mitski stepped down to #3, allowing both her challengers to pass by. The two of them ended up in the closest battle we’ve seen for the top spot since last May. In the end, Arlo Parks came out on top. Snail Mail gave it a go, closing her gap behind Parks, but it wasn’t quite enough. Parks is now three-for-three at the top as Ambiguous Desire follows her first two albums to #1. Interestingly, Mitski built her lead for the most weeks ever at #1, from 16-22 weeks, over the past six weeks. Now Parks stops her and will see if she can close that gap again. This week marks her own 16th cumulative week at #1.

“Even if a record isn’t huge, connecting that way with even a few stations can be a hugely important foothold. And sometimes those relationships will lead to more opportunities down the line, even years after a radio campaign has ended.”
MD of the Month | Ozzie Zakusilo, RLC-WVPH 90.3 The Core
“I’ve probably been listening to [February] for a little over a year at this point but I think I absolutely fell in love with them after getting to see them perform live! I saw them at their first show in New Jersey and the energy they had was absolutely insane! Im a big fan of screamo and skramz in general but I think they’re definitely getting a lot of attention right now – especially since they JUST played Coachella which is so crazy to think about!”
MD of the Month | Kris Kosach Wellen, KLBP Long Beach Public Radio
“Recently, I came across a truly unique group out of Liverpool called STR^NGE. They’re evocative of David Bowie, the weirder side of The Beatles, maybe a little Queen for their theatrical flair, but their sound is also ridiculously modern.”
