In June 2026, synthpop artist Color Theory (aka Brian Hazard) released “Resist Me.”

In 2021, Erasure’s 1994 album, I Say I Say I Say, was reissued as a two-CD deluxe edition.

We're continuing our countdown of the Top 40 songs that appeared on the first chart of the AeschTunes Top 40 (July 3, 2001). Today is song #28: "Just About Enough" by Sarina Paris.

"Just About Enough" peaked at number 21 on July 31, 2001. The song fell off on September 11, 2001 after spending 10 weeks on the chart.

We heard this follow-up to "Look At Us" on KNHC 89.5 FM in Seattle and loved it. But the song had already been out for a little while before we started the AeschTunes Top 40. If the timing had been different, I imagine "Just About Enough" would have been a bigger hit on our chart.

In May 2026, Japanese rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION released “Skins,” which is being used as the opening theme for the third cour of the Dr. Stone Science Future anime.

In April 2026, singer CHiCO and creator team HoneyWorks released “Kimi no Sei de Aishiteru,” which translates to “I love you because of you.” The song is being used as the opening theme for the Spring 2026 anime, I Want to End this Love Game.

On June 5, 2026, power pop quarter The Spongetones released “(I Really Need) To Kiss You” as a standalone single.

In May 2026, DJ and record producer James Hype released “Seratonin.”

Anthrax has released "It's For the Kids," their first new track in over a decade.

I didn't have Anthrax releasing a new song on my 2026 bingo card, but I welcome this. The song rocks, and I couldn't resist headbanging to it.

We're continuing our countdown of the Top 40 songs that appeared on the first chart of the AeschTunes Top 40 (July 3, 2001). Today is song #29: "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia.

"I'm Outta Love" debuted at its peak of #29 and spent one week there. The song fell off on August 7, 2001 after spending five weeks on the chart.

We heard "I'm Outta Love" on KNHC 89.5 FM in Seattle and liked it. However, it had been out for a little while before we started the AeschTunes Top 40. I suspect this song might have done better on the chart if the timing had been different.

As for Anastacia, she would make one more appearance on the AeschTunes Top 40 about three years later.
