KCRW’s Top 30 chart: June 12–June 18, 2023
Killer Mike’s “MICHAEL” drops in full, immediately hits number one. Plus Say She’s “C’est Si Bon” holds strong.
By Marion Hodges • • 3 min readLast week’s champs Say She She are holding strong at number two. However, the release of Killer Mike’s ferocious new solo LP MICHAEL — particularly the late breaking pre-release single “Scientists and Engineers (featuring Andre 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane) — has pulled the erstwhile Run The Jewels co-founder securely into that top spot.
New and notable: Dance-music-maven Peggy Gou drops “(It Goes Like) Nanana,” a serious contender for song of the summer just in time for the season’s official kick-off this week; Norwegian soul-stirrers Les Imprimés make a big splash with “Love & Flowers,” their brand new stomper of a single ahead of LP Rêverie (due Aug. 11 via Big Crown Records); and Sigur Rós gift us with their surprise new full length album, Átta.
