Welcome back Swing family. Wolfgang Lohr scored his seventeenth Number 1 last week with, "Keep On Smilin," featuring Emma Lea and Ashley Slater. Keep reading to see if it stays on top for a second week.
We'll start the blog with this week's Big Swinging Shoutout. It goes to...
Jon Batiste.
Will modern Swing and Jazz music go mainstream this year. We'll find out soon. Jon Batiste just dropped his album, We Are, this weekend. The lead single, I Need You, is a high energy romp of Swing, Jazz and R&B styles. The video has amassed nearly 8 million views to date and features some pretty amazing Swing dancers. The hit track has been climbing our chart for two months now.
Tracks on the album, from The Late Show's band leader, feature solid guest appearances, great Blues riffs, clever Rap and Jazz references, and of course Jon's amazing vocals and writing. Only time will tell if this is the album that brings Swing and Jazz music back to the mainstream charts.
Current hit from the album, "I Need You," climbs to number 10.
Emma Clair and Alanna Lyes step up to number 9 with, "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves (Radio Edit)."
And Alanna Lyes slips down to 8 with DJ Mibor. Their banger, "Hideaway," hit Number 1 a couple weeks ago.
Lyre Le Temps', "Summer Leaves," climbs to 7.
Flash Mob Jazz return to the Top 10, rising to 6. Back in 2017, they peaked at number 6 with the Daft Punk remake, "Get Lucky." It climbs back in the Top 10 again this week after Daft Punk announced their breakup a few weeks ago.
Top Swinging Entry this week goes to Betty Booom and Ashley Slater. Their cover version of the worldwide smash, "Wellerman," flies in at number 18.
Klischee's, "Bad Things," steps up to number 5.
Moving up to 4 is Caro Emerald's, "Wake Up Romeo (Pisk Remix)."
Minimatic slips a spot to number 3 with the very groovy, "The Jungle Jive."
And Wolfgang Lohr, Emma Lea and Ashley Slater also slip a spot to number 2 with their fun collaboration, "Keep On Smilin."
And jumping to Number 1 are brother and sister duo, AronChupa and Little Sis Nora with their naughty hit, "Trombone." It's their first Number 1.
