If there’s a trend at work in this month’s top 10 list, it’s the lack of a trend. The picks are all over the place. So, if you’re looking for a few songs—or a full mix—that’ll get you out of a rut, we’ve got you covered.
On the rock front, you’ll find new tunes from the U.K.’s Foals and Coachella headliners Tame Impala. Moving on to rap, you’ve got a collaboration featuring Macklemore and abundant sass from Iggy Azalea. From the club scene, there are new anthems from ’90s heroes The Chemical Brothers and a new single from Calvin Harris. Perhaps hardest to classify is a joint venture from Khalid and John Mayer.
