Alright folks, we're getting ready for a long weekend, but first we've gotta cover the latest alternative specialty singles and albums charts here for another SubModern Report! It's a triple #1 week, but only one of those #1's is the top single of the pack and that is "Try Try Try", a brand new one from Hovvdy ahead of their upcoming sixth record Big World. Now there were a bunch of album chart contenders released this week, but two of those beat out all others, locked in a tie for #1 - Genesis Owusu's Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge and Social Distortion's Born To Kill (only one is a contender for album title of the year however).

Caroline Rose is back with the #2 single of the week, "Yip Yip Yow", followed by at tie at #3 between "The Payoff" by Father John Misty (last week's #1) and "Redeemer" by Yard Act. Another track from Pond, "Through The Heather", comes in to round out the top five before a four-way tie clumps things up at #6. That includes "Call It In" by Editors, "Wait" by King Falcon, "Big Dog" by The Last Dinner Party, and "Pretty Little Mouth" by Total Tommy. We just had a "Big Dog" in that big tie, but here's another one tied at #10 from the aforementioned Genesis Owusu album. That's tied with The Mountain Goats' latest "Charlie Sheen Reaches Out To The Feds" (a contender for song title of the year).

Picking up the album chart at #3 is Rostam's American Stories, followed by Belgium's The Haunted Youth at #4 with Boys Cry Too. Two more new releases of the week are tied at #5 - Little Wide Open from Kevin Morby and Green World Image from Telehealth. Cola has moved up the chart to #7 this week with Cost of Living Adjustment. And finally there's a five-way tie at #8 to close out the top ten, featuring albums by Aldous Harding, New Constellations, The Strokes, Villanelle, and Weird Nightmare.

You can see that all fleshed out and the rest of the charts HERE. Now, we may be headed into Memorial Day weekend, but we've got a full Available For Airplay list for those who will be having their normal shows, rather than block party or throwback or A-Z weekends (or any other holiday weekend radio trope I'm forgetting about). We have new tunes by Blondshell, Cigarettes After Sex, Dexys Midnight Runners, Kiwi Jr., Panic Shack, Sweeping Promises, VACATIONS, and more, along with albums dropping from Ed O'Brien, Future Islands, The Sheila Divine, to name a few. But that's all I'll name here. Enjoy the long weekend and I'll talk to you when it'll all in the rear view.
