Welcome to Frank Edwin's 8/22/2021 Salad Bar Top 100 weekly inclusive feast where we invite you to Chow Down on a fresh variety of tasty musical artist cuisine. Romaine Calm - Turnip the Beet - Find Inner Peas.
The Top 100 has just a small sampling of the artists worldwide that have music we enjoy sharing. We literally can't keep up with the number of new songs released weekly and new to us artists we are discovering on a daily basis from a plethora of sources. There are currently over 200 songs waiting to join the buffet. To facilitate the opportunity of having more songs join the chart we are now giving five songs each week the special designation of #1 Salad🥗Song.
Experience the nostalgia and energy of the [arguably] greatest decade of music - the 1980's - with cover band Sixteen Candles straight out of Chicago, Illinois, USA!! Entertaining audiences since 2003, Adam, Chris, Dave, Scott & Billy bring Erasure’s anthem “A Little Respect " to the top of the buffet in its 12th week on the chart giving it the distinction of #1 Salad 🥗 Song. The video was filmed at The Center on Halsted for ABC 7's "Chicago Celebrates Pride 2020: Fun & Fabulous."
Lead singer Adam LeBlanc was also recently a #1 Salad Song Chef with “Shadow.”

Our next #1 Salad 🥗 Song Chef is Anastasia Jane who reaches the top in her 13th week on the chart with "My Masquerade." She shares:
"My name is Anastasia and I am a transgender woman from Brandon Manitoba Canada. I wrote this song last year before coming out. This song is about being "in the closet" and trying to muster the bravery to come out. It is part one of a trilogy that speaks to my journey of understanding, accepting, and embracing who I am. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy ❤️❤️❤️"
#1 Salad Song: Anastasia Jane - My Masquerade
In an article by Jarod for Volatile Weekly we read:
"Singer-songwriter and self-proclaimed “dyke in a hat”, Anita Gabrielle, has spent her life fighting against obstacles put in her path as an artist, from being a woman to being gay and as an older woman in the music industry still finds her opportunities to be heard limited. However, for her latest releases, the...EP, Just Neat and the single, Best Friends, she has found inspiration from her brother, Michael, who lives with Parkinson’s Disease and is looking to raise both awareness and funds to assist others affected by the condition. Inspired to first pick up a guitar and write music after he introduced her to the music of Joni Mitchell in the late sixties, the EP is a tribute to their relationship and also features the redoubtable talents of Grammy-award winning Amy Wadge (best-known for her songwriting collaborations with Ed Sheeran), who sings and plays piano on the EP.
Their collaboration for an important cause reaches the pinnacle in its 14th week on the chart. The artwork of Hannah Willow highlights the song for the video.
#1 Salad Song: Anita Gabrielle feat. Amy Wadge - 'Best Friends'
"We all feel pain beneath the surface
If we're not the same, then why are we all hurting?
I'll keep the faith, and learn to listen
'Cause when you look close
What's the difference?
I don't know what it's like to be fighting for my life
But if you do, I'll be fighting too
When you're feeling weak, I'll be the words if you can't speak
And if you lose, I'll be losing too
And I can't lose you"
It's a joy to welcome Swedish singer and songwriter Isak Danielson to the top in his 15th week on the chart with "I Can't Lose You."
#1 Salad Song: Isak Danielson - I Can't Lose You
"I decided that at age 71 it was time for me to learn how to record my music". -Teri B.
We are thankful that entrepreneurial singer -songwriter, one women digital band Teri Bei introduced herself and her song "Confess My Love" in the LGBTQ Music & Musicians Facebook group. As we place a cherry tomato on top and give it the special designation as a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 13th week on the chart we are pleased to let her tell you a little bit more about herself:
“Born and raised in Brooklyn New York, Teri now lives in Seattle Washington, USA. She has overcome many obstacles in her life; Domestic violence, Illiteracy, addiction, and cancer from sheer determination and hard work. Yet her compassion has never been Broken. Music saved Teri from a path of destruction and she wants others to know that they have the power to overcome their issues as well.”
#1 Salad Song: Teri Bei · Confess My Love
