Father's Day Weekend is coming up, along with the Lake City Fire Company Carnival, and - oh, yeah - the first official day of summer! Make time to head to the beach, especially for the Sunset Music Series on Wednesday evenings. Outdoor life on the north coast, and The Strokes move into the top spot for their first No. 1 in six years. Happy listening! LW TW 2 1 The Strokes/Going Shopping (RCA) 4 2 Mumford & Sons a

Nice, quiet days: camping, biking, boating, swimming, hiking... enjoying the outdoors as we wait for the official start of summer. There's been a gorgeous planetary alignment with Jupiter and Venus in the evening sky these past few days. Shakespeare Summer Nights performances with Gannon University happen next week; that's when the Sunset Music Series concerts also begin! In the midst of all this, Sublime reigns supreme for a second week. LW TW 1 1

The stretch of perfect weather continues - what a way for K-12 to start summer break! We here in college have already been off for a few extra weeks - something to look forward to :-) As we head into the Summer Fun Season on the north coast, we've got Shakespeare Summer Nights coming up, and the Sunset Music Series kicks off later this month on the sand at Presque Isle. Many things to take-in, feeling sublime in the summertime! Oh - Sublime is No. 1 this week. Happy lis

After wet and rainy weather that felt more like late October than late May, Monday was perfect for Memorial Day and the rest of the week looks spectacular. Should be nice for the Ribfest in Perry Square or whatever outdoor fun you have planned! Young the Giant moves into the top spot this week; Sublime and DCFC are right behind. We've got the soundtrack of summer! LW TW 2 1 Young the Giant/Different Kind of Love (Victory Garden; Concord) 3

Congratulations to our graduates - both at the Gannon Erie and Ruskin campuses! Now, on to the important business of Summer Break... and to paraphrase Weezer, it sure has felt like summer these past few days. As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, the beaches of Presque Isle officially open, and we've got the annual Troika Festival to enjoy. Here at Gannon, watch for announcements regarding our annual Shakespeare Summer Nights performances, coming up in June. And, of cour

Day 2 of Summer Break... well, here at the Erie campus. For our cohorts at the southern command in Ruskin, FLA, it's coming - this Saturday. Congrats to the entire graduating class of 2026! Now, we head right into the summer fun season. It starts this weekend with the Edinboro Arts and Music Festival. Lots of great music to celebrate it all with, and Death Cab for Cutie launches into the top spot with "Riptides," their first No.1 since "Arrow in the Wall" in early 2024.

Moving through Finals Week, slowly but surely. You're almost done. And Commencement is right around the corner! For the Erie campus, it's this weekend. At the Ruskin campus, you've got one more week to go. In the meantime, some great music to check out as Foo Fighters slide into the top spot. Also, Modest Mouse and The Strokes are back!

Our final week of classes! Papers, presentations, thesis panels... we're rounding third and heading for home. As you get ready for Finals Week, make sure to stop by Late Knight Bites on Sunday evening in the Beyer Hall Cafeteria for a hot meal before hitting the books one last time. As we wrap things up for the academic year, the Yellowcard and Good Charlotte collaboration hits the top of the chart. LW TW 3 1 Yellowcard & Good Charlotte/Bed

In two weeks, we'll be taking Finals. WHERE DID THE SEMESTER GO? Holy cow. But green things are appearing everywhere, and it finally feels like spring. As we round third and head home (baseball metaphor), it's time to take a look back at everything we've accomplished this past year - and it's an impressive list. Celebrate Gannon is this Friday; our school's annual Soiree is coming up on May 1. Edgehill moves into the top spot this week. Keep grinding away at those sen

Spring has sprung on campus and we're riding high. Our Golden Knights are national champions, the weather's getting nicer, and we've got three weeks left in the semester! That's going to be a rollercoaster ride as we are going over management applications to determine the station's leadership team for next year. Still classwork to be done, and finishing touches on those senior thesis papers... lots to do, as Turnstile moves into the top spot on our chart. LW TW 2

We're over the moon! The Artemis II mission took astronauts back to lunar orbit for the first time in half a century, and the Golden Knights won the NCAA men's basketball D-II national title! It's been quite a few days, and we've been on Easter Break. What happens when classes start back up? We'll find out tomorrow - don't be late... In the meantime, Noah Kahan remains entrenched at No. 1. LW TW 1 1 Noah Kahan/The Great Divide (Republic) 2

No f oolin': we're heading into April, going on Easter Break, and the Golden Knights are playing for the NCAA Division-II national championship this Sunday. And the weather's getting warmer, if not that much drier. In the midst of all this, Noah Kahan is spending a third week locked-in at the No. 1 spot on the chart. Heady times on the north coast! LW TW 1 1 Noah Kahan/The Great Divide (Republic) 2 2 Turnstile/Lo

It's that weird, stressful time between Spring Break and Easter Break: papers are due, and assignments are piling up. It's the weirdest time of the academic year. It's now officially Spring but it's still occasionally snowing outside. Basketball championships are pending (Go Knights!), and baseball is getting ready to start. Into this great divide, Noah Kahan spends a second week at the top of our chart. LW TW 1 1 Noah Kahan/The Great D

Well... Fake Spring is definitely over, and the annual St. Paddy's Day SnowBlast has hit full force. Weather winter weather wants to withdraw or not, the Equinox will be upon us this Friday. In the meantime, Noah Kahan moves into our top spot this week. Sláinte and Erin go Bragh!

Welcome back from Spring Break! You got back to campus just in time for NWPA's "Fake Sp ring." After a month of temperatures around 0 degrees (that's in Fahrenheit , not Celsius, so it's worse), we're enjoying temps in the lower 60's so it feels quite tropical on Lake Erie right now. Better brace, though. We always get one more gasp of winter around St. Patrick's Day... In the meantime, let's go To Space! Kings of Leon are sitting pretty at No. 1 this week. LW T

A different change of pace this week, as Spring Break is in full swing! Usually we're in NYC for the media conference, but that was early this year and happened already. Now, our students are recharging for the final push to the end of the semester. Some are busy with Alternative Spring Break Service Trips all over the globe. And our basketball teams are gearing for deep post-season runs. March Madness is here, and Lord Huron rules over the chart this week! LW T

We're back from The Big Apple after another successful immersion into the media environment of the biggest city in the country! Amtrak gets us there and back on the Lake Shore Limited - a scenic 11-hour ride through New York State (featuring the freedom of being able to move about the train, and no stress of missed flights). After disembarking Penn Station in New York City, we hopped on the Uptown E to the 53rd & 5th Avenue stop, and walked to our hotel: the Sheraton Times

Back from the annual college media conference in NYC! We beat the Nor'easter by about an hour, hopping on the Amtrak to head back to Erie. Now, a week of classes before Spring Break (it's been a weird semester). Sombr hits the top spot this week, with Lord Huron and Turnstile right behind. Noah Kahan and Silversun Pickups go Top 10, and we have debuts from Young the Giant, Bleachers, and Softcult. Lots of great tracks to check out - both new and old (and if you haven't h

As we get ready to head to NYC for the big media conference, Yungblud lurches into the top spot with "Zombie." Kings of Leon and The Neighbourhood enter the Top 10, we've got a big move from Noah Kahan, while Papa Roach, Metric, Violet Grohl, and The Format debut. Looking for OG stuff you haven't heard in awhile - or ever? Try Jesus Jones, U2, and Spacehog. Talk with you again when we get back from The Big Apple! LW TW 2 1 Yungblud/Zombi
