Welcome back to the blog swingers. I'm your host JC JSum.
MelleeFresh and SpekFreks killed it at the top of the chart last week with their hit "Murder." Can they hang on for a second week?
Starting off the Top 40 this week is the latest from Duke Skellington. He teamed with Alanna Lyes, and they molded together a great bopper called, "My Mind." It's one of six new entries this week.
Duke also debuts at number 23 with banger, "Dames." Both tracks are from his latest EP Devils, Dames N Debauchery.
Pairing up again are Wolfgang Lohr and Offbeat. They released a very happy seasonal track to swing in Spring titled, "Swing In Spring." It's new at 38 and features singer Nina Zeitlin. Wolfgang and Offbeat teamed up last year for the Number 1, "Very Nice People."
Wolfgang also stops outside of the Top 10, at number 11, with "My 20's Woman" featuring Phos Toni.
Varrick Frost's latest, "Luci's Game," comes in at 37. It's been jumping around outside the Top 40 for a couple weeks and finally reaches the Top 40.
Richard Cheese has the fifth of six entries this week. "Down With The Sickness," comes in strong at 16.
This week's Big Swinging Shoutout goes to...
...Thomas Benjamin Wild.
Thomas released his latest album A Quiet Night In, this week and I must say it couldn't come at a more convenient time. With a good portion of the world stuck indoors, because of the corona virus lockdown, Thomas gives us a fantastic and needed escape. Tracks like "Oh Social Media"; "Stop Being An Arsehole," and "Pants Drunk" are the clever upbeat songs we need to get through this lockdown.
Thomas also sits at number 15 this week with, " No More Fcks (Stevie Jay Flip)."
Top Swinging Entry belongs to another song inspired by the corona virus pandemic and it's a former Number 1 from May of 2013. Kormac returns with the appropriately titled, "Wash My Hands.' It debuts at 13.
Spending their seventh week in the Top 10 is Cut Capers with, "Let's Start Again (Odd Chap Electro Swing Remix)." The former Number 1 slips 8 to 10.
Oh My God It's The Church drops to 9 with the Duke Skellington remix of, "Where Did You Get Those (Shoes)."
Offbeat and Odd Chap jump from 14 to 8 with their second Top 10 together, "My Gym." Their collaboration, "Weekend Living," was a chart topper for the pair exactly three years ago.
Varrick Frost and Lawrence Lea climb from 22 to 7 with, "Fever (Papa Django Remix)."
11 Acorn Lane slip a spot to 6 with their latest, "Mellow Mouser."
Defunk, Megan Hamilton and Wes Writer jump into the Top 10 with, "Can't Buy Me (Bugle Bot & Cryztal Grid Remix)." The Swing/Hop track lands at number 5. It's a first time appearance for the lot except Megan. She and Flavours reached number 4 last March with, "Hypnosis."
Last week's Number 1, "Murder (Extended Mix)," by MelleeFresh and SpekrFreks falls to 4 after spending a week on top.
Little Violet jumps seven positions to number 3 with the highly contagious, "Silent Movie (Odd Chap Remix)." For Odd Chap, this gives him his first triple Top 10 week. He's featured on Cut Capers, "Let's Start Again," at 10 and with Offbeat's, "My Gym," sitting at number 8.
Holding at number 2 for a second week is OR3O with, "Help Me."
And stepping into Number 1 is Juda-Bug with Swing/House banger, "Here We Go Again." It's Juda-Bug's first appearance on top. "Here We Go Again" is from Juda-Bug's upcoming album tentatively titled The Bug Is Out due later this year.
