Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to the always compelling monthly recap of Flatbasset Radio's 50 Most Played Albums of the previous month!
April has come and gone. The last of the snow melted, the rain washed away what was left, the boys of summer began yet another campaign, the boys of winter began their Quest For The Cup, and I finally got back to posting podcasts. As per usual, I listened to a ton of music while all of that was happening. Good times, April.
Let's have a look at what was getting the most spins around Planet New Basset. As always, one "play" = one song. So an album with ten songs on it would be registered as ten "plays." Larger pictures indicate more plays.
(Quick Note: As you can see, the largest box in the picture is a blank grey album. That's supposed to be a picture of What Tyrants' new album No Luck. I have no clue why the Album Cover Collage Generator is refusing to accept its right to life. As a consolation, go back and read my AOTW column about No Luck. It's a gem of an album.)
