The Return of Mel's Current Top 20

 Mel's Current Top 20 | As of May 27, 2023.

Welcome to the resumption of weekly postings of Mel's Current Top 20 Chart. I've been doing personal charts of current pop and rock music for some years now and have occasionally posted them to this blog. Since 2020, the Current Top 20 has been regularly posted to the M4B Chart Central website. Prior to that a previous incarnation of these charts were posted there starting around 2009.

I love lists. Ranking favorite songs, movies, TV shows, cars, etc... overall and by genre. On this blog's pages you can see a music chart for both pop/rock music and a separate one for country music.
Through the years, special charts have been posted on favorite artists such as The Beatles and charts for the Christmas holiday season.

Now I'm bringing the weekly Current Top 20 chart back to these pages. Enjoy.

CHART NOTES

The #1 position changes again. This week Jason Mraz tops the chart with "I Feel Like Dancing." The single nudges up from last week's #2 position after its debut way back on April 1. Been nearly 2 months.

The biggest debut song is from American Idol. Iam Tongi, an 18 year old student originally from Hawaii won the nationally televised contest last weekend, propelling his debut single "I'll Be Seeing You" to debut at the #11 spot this week. He has been a media sensation in the State of Hawaii this past few weeks.

New last week was the highly anticipated new album Broken By the Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, from crooner Lewis Capaldi. Several singles including "Wish You The Best," currently #4 on this week have come and gone on this chart this past few months. The latest track from the album debuts at #19. It's called "Heavenly Kind State of Mind."

Cannons, the alternative rock music band who went to #1 last year with "Hurricane" are back this week with their latest track. It's called "Loving You." It debuts at #20 for the week.

CHART NOTES

The Linda Lindas make it to the #1 position in three weeks, debuting two weeks ago at #15, bolting to #5 last week and now jumping from that position to #1 with what should be their big debut hit, "OH!" The band consists of four young ladies ages 10 to 16. They can all do vocals, and play a variety of instruments, though for most songs they have settled on a line-up of two guitarists, one on bass and a drummer. Check out "OH" at the top of this post... Below is The Linda Linda's 9-minute interview clip:

The Killers place the new single "Quiet Town" on the top 20 for the first time this week at #19. It's from their newest album Pressure Machine.

The second of our two debut singles is a re-worked oldie from The Foo Fighters going under their "disco name" "Dee Gees." As the Dee Gees, the band released 5 songs written by the Bee Gees on their latest release Hail Satin. The first of the Bee Gee covers to make this chart is "Shadow Dancing" which was a #1 hit in 1978 for Bee Gee brother Andy Gibb.

The last surviving member of The Bee Gees is Barry Gibb. He recently posted on Twitter: "I am proud that @foofighters gave us love beyond the call of duty. I am overwhelmed that they would even think about doing this. @FooDGrohl, @taylorhawkins and the rest of you guys, thank you so much. I look forward to us getting together!!!" - https://twitter.com/GibbBarry
