It seems like everyone has gone to SXSW… except for WPRB’s weekly Top 30 chart! Not that it could go anyway, since it is merely a list — a list of our on-air staff’s favorite new music this week.

On Fridays you can always hear the best of the best during our Top Ten Show on at 5PM EDT! (Like the show? Become a fan on Facebook!)
