Tunde Adebimpe Surprises Everyone and Lands His First #1
The race for #1 was a wild one this week, with three horses in the race. After being ousted from #1 last week, Bon Iver made a valiant effort to retake the top spot back from Japanese Breakfast, and they did indeed climb over them. But in the end, neither took the crown, with that distinction falling to Tunde Adebimpe. The TV On The Radio frontman and actor (who was most recently on TV in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and on the big screen in Twisters) leapfrogged them both to land his first #1. His debut solo LP, Thee Black Boltz (Sub Pop), rose 3-1 in one of the closest races for #1 ever on the NACC 200. Just two points separate Adebimpe from Bon Iver. That ties for the second-smallest gap of all time between the top two records on the NACC 200.

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.
