Last week, my dear friend Harry Rubenstein and I launched The Israel Music Project, a weekly newsletter covering the latest in Israeli music (today, tomorrow, and looking back every week for 50 years).
The Israel Music Project is an independent weekly newsletter about Israeli music, written in English.
It is for anyone who loves Israeli music and wants to keep up with it from wherever they are: what Israel is hearing this week, what is new, what is rising, and what topped the charts decades ago, with playlists and links to listen on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
The chart in each issue is our own. Every week, Harry and I build it from what Israelis are streaming, what radio is playing, what people are identifying on Shazam, and how listeners vote on the Galgalatz chart, and we check it against an arch
ive of Israeli charts that goes back to 1961.
What you’ll get in your inbox every Wednesday:
- New singles and albums, with a featured recommendation to help you decide where to start.
- Hear what Israel is listening to Our own Top Ten, plus the records on the rise, drawing on streaming, radio airplay, Shazam and Galgalatz listener votes.
- A look back at the songs that topped the charts in earlier years and decades, from an archive of Israeli charts that reaches back to 1961.
