What’s New

Kings of Leon easily crowned the Most Added list this week, as “My Whole World” earned 15 adds in its first week of release. Next is a tie between Aubury Bugg, The War On Drugs, and Lake Street Dive, with six adds each. Finally, there is another tie between Stephen Wilson Jr., Jake Bugg, Fatales, and Houndmouth. Each of those artists earned four adds on their respective new singles.

For next week’s consideration, spend some time with Snacktime’s "Can't Imagine Why You'd Stay" and The Bamboos’ "Sugar On Top." As always, you can find the complete Going For Adds listings on the Triple A Page here.​

KSUT's Tami Graham Wins First Amendment Award

​

In the 2025 lawsuit, National Public Radio, Inc. v. Trump, KSUT and its partners argued that Trump’s executive order was unconstitutional and amounted to retaliation for protected speech. On March 31, 2026, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled in favor of the public media coalition, declaring the executive order a First Amendment violation.

Upon accepting her award at a reception in Denver, Graham stated, “We are honored to accept this award and join the legacy of advocates who stand up against censorship of all kinds. KSUT will always be in service to our listeners and freedom of speech over politicians.”
