Ever since 2010 I’ve kept track of the music I listen to each month. It’s fascinating to see how some bands stay with me over the years whilst others have their moment on my stereo before vanishing from my mind… well, until years later when I check out to see what I was listening to way back when in any case!
Anyway, I ran a Top 50 (which turned in to a Top 100) bands of the month chart on various social media platforms recording my listening habits for posterity and to share my earworms of the month. I listen to a lot of music when working, and also when relaxing. My tastes are fairly broad and I love discovering new bands, as well as new sounds and genres.
March saw eight new bands make it into the Top 100 for the first time! The highest new entry were Hidden Citizens at #8. The others were Scratch Massive (#28), Reb Fountain (#32), Sakura (#58), The The (#59), Me Not You (#62), Kneecap (#73), and The Long Blondes (#85)
In addition to the new releases we had 26 artists and bands returning to the Top 100 this month, with The Jesus and Mary Chain claiming the highest new entry slot at #17.
Here’s my Top 100 for March 2025…
