Actually one of my favorite conferences of the year as you get a lot of one on one time with people and its all in once place.
But let us take a quick look at what happened at college radio this week.
We have a new number one with Alabama Shakes taking the reigns from Courtney Barnett. What a run by her though! Will we see a run similar with Alabama Shakes? This next week there looks to be no one close enough with last weeks top adds coming in at #11 and #14 so they seem to be at least 2 weeks away from contending.
The crazy take away from this weeks chart is that every record in the top 7 has over half of the reporting stations charting it. In previous years having 50% of the charters meant you were in the running for #1. Now it might not even be enough to get into the top 5. Also the difference between #20 and #10 is almost double. There are some huge gaps there.
While it was not a blockbuster ADD week it had to of been somewhat fun/ frustrating to be one of the top four records going for adds. In the end we have a 2 way tie and we could of had a 4 way tie!
| 1 | 72 | ICKY BLOSSOMS | Mask | Saddle Creek |
| 2 | 72 | HELIO SEQUENCE | The Helio Sequence | Sub Pop |
| 3 | 69 | ELVIS DEPRESSEDLY | New Alhambra | Run For Cover |
| 4 | 68 | JACCO GARDNER | Hypnophobia | Polyvinyl |
Look at how close that is!
I would of loved a four way tie.
