Episode 6: He Is Risen

The podcast that tapes the Top 10 and then talks about it in school the next day, with Laura Snapes and Fraser McAlpine. It’s Easter, Laura’s in the City of Angels, and the No.1 slot has undergone its own moment of death and rebirth. Everything is the same, and yet different. After an examination of the charts from Australia and Brazil, we ask: does Harry Styles toppling Ed Sheeran signal a new era of dystopian pop? As ever, all of this week's notable tracks are in a Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/snapes/playlist/210ihYv6iP9jlebGxPdtqj Fraser's most-listened-to song this week is “I Win” by Lethal Bizzle ft. Skepta, and Laura's is a surprise. Listen and find out. You can email us on [email protected], or tweet us: https://twitter.com/laurasnapes https://twitter.com/csi_popmusic

If only all playground debates about music had been so well informed." -- Caroline Crampton, The New Statesman (http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/podcasts/2017/04/how-podcasts-are-reviving-excitement-listening-pop-charts) "While the charts have become both confused and sidelined in recent years, they’re still an invaluable insight into the machinations of the music industry, something this pod proves in gratifyingly informed style." -- The Guardian Guide (https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2017/apr/07/the-10-best-things-to-do-this-week-syd-russell-brand-and-i-am-not-your-negro)
