The Wreckers hold off Saving Jane as Abigail Zsiga and Corinne Bailey Rae move closer to the top.
Better the Ezra quickly flies up the chart with Juicy.
Bruce Springsteen jumps into the #1 album spot, while Neil Young's Living with War, slips in to #7.
Protest/Anti War songs have always done well on my chart, and in the past good ones, made the top 30, even #1.
Some Top40 stations in the past, played them, and a few have made the national Top 40.
Today, even some of the oldies stations will not play CSN&Y's Ohio Freda Payne's 'Bring the Boys Home' or Edwin Starr's War.
These days, Top40 would rather play songs without any substance or social value. Three cheers for the dumbing of America.
Both the Springsteen and Young albums have many potential short term hits, it will be interesting to see if any of the songs get commercial airplay, and which ones will be picked.
[note: today (5/13) I heard 'Mary Dont You Weap' by springsteen, and 'america the beautiful' from the neil young album on a AAA station - back to back]
