The Mayhem Charts – June 2024 July 11, 2024


Here is the Mayhem chart for June 2024, albeit a tad late. Regular and constant readers know that the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month gathered by obscurify.com. Apparently, my tastes have fallen to 96% more obscure than the rest of the UK! A drop of 2% from last month. The chart remains contemporary-ish (but if a classic artist releases something new they might feature in the chart). However, the top three “Legacy” artists for last month are David Bowie, Sparks, and R.E.M. Obscurify also suggests the most obscure artists I have listened to and for June those were Hawksley Workman, Jenny Don’t And The Spurs, and The German Art Students. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. There is the usual eclectic mix of artists, including three that were in the top ten last month, Taylor Swift, Paul Weller, and Delilah Bon! Delilah is one of only two artists to feature in the artist chart and the song chart for June, with her current single “The Internet” making it to the top of the song chart and May’s number one “Evil, Hate Filled Female” falling to number 5. Delilah has been in the artist charts for seven consecutive months. The other artist to appear in both lists for June is Kate Nash, who also tops the artist chart. Female artists make up 50% of the artist chart and 80% 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.

The Mayhem Charts – October 2023 November 1, 2023


The Mayhem Monthly charts return for the third month in a row. Regular readers know the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month. The chart remains contemporaryish, otherwise, it might be filled with classic artists all the time and that would be boring, right? The top three “Legacy” artists are David Bowie, Nick Drake, and Sam Cooke. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. As expected there is quite an eclectic mix of artists including two that were in the top ten last month (ALT BLK ERA and Ren). In fact this is the third month in a row that ALT BLK ERA have featured in the artist top ten. The top five songs features three artists who also appear in the artist top ten, that is the Delilah Bon, ALT BLK ERA and Black Pumas. Delilah Bon does the double, she is at the top of both charts, with excellent support from ALT BLK ERA! So without further ado here are those charts!

The Mayhem Charts – August 2023 September 1, 2023


After a long sabbatical, the Mayhem Monthly charts are back, in a slightly revamped form. As regular readers will know, the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month. But I have kept it to contemporary artists. The top three “Legacy” artists are David Bowie, George Michael, and Alice Cooper. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. As expected there is quite an eclectic mix of artists including five that I saw at the Leeds Festival last weekend. The top five songs are all by artists that feature in the artist top ten, including four that I saw at Leeds Festival. The two acts at the top have never appeared in previous incarnations of the chart. The number one artist is AL BLK ERA and the number one song was “How Will I Know” by the Amazons. So without further fuss here are those charts! Click on the header of the song chart for the playlist on Spotify.
