Back to the Beach Radio & TV Network Launches Monthly “Shaggin’ 45” Chart – A New Era for Beach Music Recognition

Back to the Beach Radio & TV Network proudly announces the launch of its newest feature: the monthly "Shaggin’ 45" — a comprehensive and highly respected beach music chart that celebrates the top 45 songs driving dance floors, airwaves, and streaming playlists across the Carolinas and beyond.

“Shaggin’ 45” isn’t just a list—it’s a movement that brings together the voices of those who live and breathe beach music. This dynamic chart is compiled from submissions by DJs who are deeply entrenched in the culture—those spinning records on traditional radio, digital platforms, and in the hottest beach clubs, shag venues, and community dance events across the Southeast.

Each month, participating DJs submit their Top 20 most-played and most-requested songs, which are then compiled, scored, and ranked to create the “Shaggin’ 45.” The result is a rich, crowd-sourced playlist that reflects what fans are truly dancing to—whether it’s a new jam from an emerging band or a timeless classic that continues to move the needle.

As one of the most trusted names in beach music broadcasting, Back to the Beach Radio & TV Network aims to spotlight the genre’s diversity and longevity while honoring the DJ voices behind the music. “Shaggin’ 45” charts will be published monthly on the network’s website and social media channels, giving fans, artists, and industry professionals a reliable pulse on the beach music scene.

DJ submissions for the inaugural chart are now open, and the first official “Shaggin’ 45” list will debut in early June. Be sure to tune in, follow, and celebrate the songs that keep the shag alive.
