Well, we may be running out of summertime, but definitely not running out of new music to talk about here in The SubModern Report. It comes as absolutely no surprise at all that Phoebe Bridgers dominated specialty airplay this week! Her eagerly anticipated third album Lost Weekend lands high atop the album chart and while she doesn't have a top ten single, two tracks from the album are in the top twenty-five, with plenty of others getting spins. The #1 single of the week actually comes from Brit rock band Royal Blood. "Ten Over Ten" is the first taste of their just-announced fifth album Dead Company, coming in November.

The remainder of the top ten singles are basically divided into two clumps. First is a three-way tie at #2 between "Overdrive" by Imperial Teen, "Casablanca" by Susanna Hoffs, and "Still Alive" by the team-up of Wavves x Say Anything. The other clump is seven songs at #5 - Claud's "She Doesn't Love Me", DIIV's "The Fountain", Fort Frances' "Parliament Lights", Green Stars' "Teeth", Gurriers' "Nothing Happens Here", Slow Pulp's "Spill", and Westside Cowboy's "Pin Up Boys".

Back on the album chart, a several time #1, You Say I Romanticize from Sweeping Promises just came out and easily scored the #2 spot. A tie at #3 is between two other just-dropped albums that could've been #1 on a different week - Alien Metal from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Blowin' Up from Kiwi Jr. And two more brand new releases, Hovvdy's Big World and Slow Joy's Esteban Flores, tied for #5. Next at #7 are three artists that were all tied at #5 on the singles chart as well - Gurriers with Nobody's Coming To Save You, Slow Pulp with Melodie, and Westside Cowboy with It Goes On. That leaves four more tied at #10 to close things out from Freak Slug, The Mountain Goats, Petey USA, and Rageflower.

Get all those details and more (including an eleven-way tie for #25 album) on the full charts HERE. And as always, there's more coming our way, which you can scope out on the Available For Airplay list. There are lots of new albums from The Afghan Whigs, Brennan Wedl, Chelsea Wolfe, Getdown Services, Jungle, the aforementioned Westside Cowboy, Wild Pink, and more. There are lots of singles too, but all eyes and ears are likely to be on the new one from Fontaines D.C..

Finally, and unfortunately, I must end again by reporting the loss of one of the shows on our panel as Scott Dixon at WAQX in Syracuse was part the latest batch of Cumulus layoffs. Sending him our best wishes. I have no official word about the status of The Fringe, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. Hopefully though we'll have some more new shows coming on board soon. Stay tuned and I'll catch you next week.
