Happy New Year and Happy New Decade. Welcome back to the blog. I'm JC JSum.
The new year and end of Holiday season force all the Christmas music out of the Top 40. Eleven songs arrive this week. Highlights include, Minimatic scoring a second Top 40 from the EP, Bric-A-Brac. "The Whistler," comes in at 37. The SwingHoppers land "S Gon Give It To Ya" as their first Top 40 at 32. And SoDown also makes a first Top 40 appearance with, "Baby Don't Let Me Down," at 29.
Top Swinging Entry belongs to Glenn Gatsby. His "I Wonder Where" returns after a week's disappearance to land at 19. Phos Toni's, "Baby Swing" is right behind at 20.
And before I get to the Top 10, a big swinging shout out goes to Canada's sweetheart of Swing, Alex Pangman. She recently released the Connee Boswell penned, "If I Don't Mean It." A cozy little number destined to inspire sips of sherry and snuggles by the fire. She also releases another Boswell banger later this month, "I'm All Dressed Up With A Broken Heart."
Wolfgang Lohr, Varrick Frost and Alanna Lyes crack the Top 10 in their tenth week with, "Sweet Dreams." It's the only new entry to the Top 10.
In this first weekend of the decade, the battle for number one was qite strong between five songs. Tuxedo Junction moves into the Top 5 with the very groovy, "Mr Business."
Slipping a spot to 4 but still gaining in points are Lyre Le Temps with, "Boogie Wonderland." Their, "Smile For A Minute" takes a huge nosedive out of the Top 10 to land way down at 36.
Former Number 1, "Harlem Nights," by Honky Crew and Lil Hardin Armstrong slips 2 to 3.
Jojo Effect and Dennis LeGree cut in line with, "Swing It Up (Zouzoulectric Remix)." It stops at number 2.
And welcoming us into the new year, and decade, are Tape Five. Their "Party Like It's 1929," rules for a second week. It's the perfect anthem to ring in a roaring new decade. The "(Extended Version)" of "1929" debuts down at number 34.
Visit again soon to read my breakdown of 2019's best artists, songs and albums. Also check back in a couple days, I'll Be posting the second half of The 100 Best Electro Swing Songs Of 2019. And of course you'll want to see if Tape Five holds on to Number 1 for a third week.
Until then, keep your head in the clouds and keep swinging for the stars.
