Here is the Mayhem chart for February 2024. Regular readers know that the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month. The chart remains contemporary-ish, rather than just an oldies chart However, the top three “Legacy” artists are Was (Not Was), Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Stackridge. Surprisingly, David Bowie is not in the top 3 for the third month in a row. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. There is the usual eclectic mix of artists, including two that were in the top ten last month (Delilah Bon and Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes). For the first time, none of the top five songs is by an artist which features in the top ten artist chart. However, after reaching number three with “Back In Time” last month Georgia Reed hits the top spot for February with her current single “Honey”. Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes are number 1 in the artist chart and as previously mentioned Georgia Reed is top of the song chart. So without further ado here are those charts in full! Click on the header of the song chart for the playlist on Spotify.
1 Honey – Georgia Reed 2 Waiting For The Britpop Revival – Fran Ashcroft 3 A Thousand Shots – F.O.D. 4 Primetime Television – The Corsairs 5 What Kinda Love – Sohodolls

Christmas is nearly here and we are at Day 11 of Mayhem’s 12 Days of Christmas series for 2023. Focused on artists that have been featured on Spotify’s Misfits 2.0 playlist. Jazmin Bean, today’s choice, is a hugely talented artist that I discovered via the playlist. They are an artist almost like no other, and they have a sound that incorporates metal, pop, horror, acoustic, punk, cinema scope, emo, hip-hop, trip-hop, and dark rock all with hooks with the power to create a new universe. I would like to nominate Jazmin Bean to compose a soundtrack for a British Folk Horror film, I think that they would do an amazing job! The current single “Terrified” is gorgeous and raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Meanwhile, “Hello Kitty” kicks in with a kid’s refrain and then scares the living shit out of you when the huge riffs kick in, incredible tunes.
Jazmin Bean began performing in 2015, and they have got better and better with every release. The new album ‘Traumatic Livelihood’ is scheduled for release next February. Jazmin Bean is also a supremely talented make-up artist and has called their sometimes ‘doll-like’ appearance as ‘a genderless monster’. In addition to producing some incredible music, they also run a cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics company called Cult Candy Cosmetics. I don’t believe that there are many artists that I can think of whom I have seen their parents play live. But I have seen both Jazmin’s parents in live shows. Their Dad is Ginger Wildheart who I have seen many times and their Mum is Angie Adams who drummed with a punk band called Fluffy in the 1990s. I saw them once in a support slot, at least I think I did. Get listening to Jazmin Bean now, that’s an order!
