1-10:
Thrice have the top 2 positions, something I don't remember from any artist in the last year or so (We'll see in 4 more chart weeks what happens after the live impact). Maybe it happened with Santigold. A surprise hearing of "Crazy Tonight" on the radio keeps it steady. "Treat Me" might not be totally done, either. "The Reeling" is something I'm excited about. Maybe time for Top 5?

11-20:
Sadly, I don't get to hear Bat for Lashes often, but those two songs would be Top 5 with no question if I heard both regularly. "Check My Brain" could squeeze in the Top 10, but probably won't get higher than that. "Medicate" picks up since I have the album now.

21-30:
Hearing "East Jesus Nowhere" regularly. I "chose" "Little Shadow" as a "single" for my chart, since I feel an album as good should go 3 or 4 deep. I'm impressed with how steady the play (albeit sadly minimal) for "HWR" is though. It's amazing and I think I like it more than "Soft Shock" which I charted and made the Top 10. Those are all the gems from the album. Heard "The Great Divide" on the Music Choice channel which was a pleasant surprise. "Already Gone" is an excellent pop song. The first from her album that actually stood a chance at my chart, too!

The rest:I still sometimes hear "She Wolf" even if it's finished nationally. 31-33 all being steady is a sign of all of the action going on: Stuff that's peaked in interest and new songs making plenty impact. "It Don't Move Me" is a song I haven't heard in awhile, so it plummets. "At the Bottom" might get a resurgence at the end of the month, as well.

And next week there will be less explaining to do!

Nick's Notes:
Top 5:
Crash Love's release solidifies "Medicate at #1. It's a shame for "Paparazzi" and "Already Gone" to have to settle for #'s 3 & 4 now, when I'd have no problem with them being #'s 1 & 2. Since both songs seem to have plenty of life left on the national platform (thank goodness), I'll be patient and see how things shake down on my chart for the rest of this year.

21-30:
"Undisclosed Desires" isn't due to owning The Resistance (just yet). Rather, my Alt station played this the week before the album dropped, so I recorded it. And at this point, I'd listened to it enough on my computer that it suddenly swelled and made a huge impact on this chart. I also recorded "Changing" off the radio around the same time and the same story ensued. "Heads Will Roll" cracks the Top 30 because I downloaded It's Blitz! and played it this past week.

Afterlife:
Holy s***, "Afterlife" fell off my Top 40. And it's a real shame, because it was 1 week shy of 100 weeks on my chart. And it's not like I could've fudged the numbers, because it still has 3 songs ahead of it (including "Unbound"!). Oh well. It was a magnificent run. And I can't feel too bummed about it missing the 100 mark, because even though it wasn't a single, "Gunslinger" takes the baton now, already in its 99th week of its own. Who would've thought?

Contenders:
Between my urban station and my HD Pop station, I've been hearing "Pretty Wings" an awful lot. Beautiful song. "Funhouse" (initially heard on a Rate the Music survey) is now picking up airplay on my HD Pop station. With Crash Love out now, the inevitable album cuts start filing in. Hopefully I can turn "Pursuit of Happiness" around. That song's too good to stall at #44. Ditto for "The Reeling" and #53. Thanks for reading.
