Phil's Personal Chart (February 7, 2025; #428)

Hey folks; this is my first attempt at posting a chart on BuzzJack. Been charting off-and-on since the mid-90s, with the current iteration dating back to November 2016. That means this is week 428!

I've been slowly working through compiling chart history, so I'll hope to flesh out these posts a little more going forward, as well as filling in the back history of the chart in the Personal Chart Archive forum. Expect lots of indie, shoegaze, and singer-songwriter tracks with occasional pop crossovers.

NEW:

- #27: Tennis - "Weight of Desire" -- This is the second charting song from Tennis, the previous being "Let's Make a Mistake Tonight" which cracked the top 10 back in March 2023. A gorgeous, ethereal ballad, the likes of which have done well previously. Hopeful for an album announcement to follow.

- #28: Momma - "I Want You (Fever)" -- This is the fourth charting song from Momma, the most recent being the recently-departing-the-chart "Ohio All the Time", which peaked at 13. Previously, "Sunday" made it to #13 as well in the fall of 2023, while their highest charting song was "Bang Bang" which made it to #8 in he spring of 2023. (I was very late to the party for "Speeding '72", which is an absolute fuzzy banger.) This track took a week to grow on me but in the end I'm a sucker for 90s-era nostalgia sounds, and will always be drawn to acts like Momma.

- #30: The Horrors - "More to Life" -- Surprisingly to me, this is their first entry into this iteration of the chart. They have had three different tracks bubbling under previously. I find that The Horrors are very hit or miss for me: the songs that hit, I run into the ground ("Still Life", "Change Your Mind") and those that don't I rarely revisit. An artist that I listen to individual songs rather than full albums. "More to Life" feels like it will fall into the former category. A few more listens will be in order.

UNDER: Kind of like an under consideration list. Tracks generally released in the past couple weeks that I'm intrigued by, and depending upon how they grow on me over the next week will be up for future chart consideration

Waxahatchee - Mud

Dope Lemon - Electric Green Lambo

Chloe Slater - Sucker

Beach Bunny - Tunnel Vision

SASAMI - iN Love With A Memory

Blondshell - T&A

Castlebeat - Ivy League

Shura - Recognize

Slow Crush - Cherry

Weather Station - Mirror

And a smidge of chart history to finish off, with some "on this day" number ones from years past:

2024 The Struts - "Pretty Vicious"

2023 Hatchie - "Nosedive"

2022 Cate Le Bon - "Moderation"

2021 Eddie Vedder - "Matter of Time"

2020 The Weeknd - "Blinding Lights"

2019 Grimes - "We Appreciate Power"

2018 Franz Ferdinand - "Always Ascending"

2017 Car Seat Headrest - "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales"

...til next week!
