Tuesday Top 30: January 20, 2026

Welcome back for the Spring 2026 semester! "Spring," of course, as in "Something to look forward to." Wolf Alice has our first chart-topper of the new year, with Vance Joy and AJR closing-in. Sombr, The Paradox, and Portugal the Man enter the Top 10, and The Romana Flowers are back with a new track to check out. SOme great flashbacks from our chart history celebrate milestones this week: everything from Oasis to Crazy Town to Sisters of Mercy. Happy listening!
