It's the last day of September as we get into another SubModern Report, featuring the eagerly anticipated return of one of my favorite bands (and lots of yours too), CHVRCHES! "Roses", the first taste of the Scottish trio's album #5, is a bit of departure from their tried and true sound, which debuts high atop this week's singles chart. In the time since CHVRCHES' last album, Sabrina Teitelbaum has released three records as Blondshell, the latest of which, Violins, just came out and landed at #1 on the albums chart for the week, featuring the #2 single of the week, "Stone Fruit".

The singles chart continues with "Wasteman" by Nautics reaching #3t, its highest spot yet, as their album People Only Like Me When I'm Leaving makes its chart debut at #3t as well. Tied with them on the singles chart are Twisted Teens with "When We First Met", while Protomartyr's Hotel Usona is tied with them on the albums chart.

Protomartyr is also up next at #5 on the singles chart with "Exalted Eagles" from that new record. A tie at #6 is between two Brit bands, Editors with "Seriously" and The Sherlocks' latest "Burst Your Bubble". Next up at #8 is another track from Queens of The Stone Age's upcoming record, where they ask "Where The Goth Girls At?" Then, we close out the top ten with a five-way tie at #9, including tracks by Beabadoobee, Caroline Carter, Cartel, RIP Magic, and Soccer Mommy.

Going back to #2 on the album chart, it's the aforementioned Beabadoobee with Pylon. Then jumping past the #3 tie that I already covered to Gurriers at #5 with their new release Nobody's Coming To Save You. Get Mean from Boy Harsher is next up at #6, followed by a tie at #7 between Echo & The Bunnymen's Apples For Isaac and Julia Jacklin's The Gem. Finally, another #9 tie will wrap the top ten, this one between Learning How To Cope from Cartel and I Wrote You A Letter from M83.

That's it for here, but you can get the full charts HERE. There's also another fully-loaded Available For Airplay list with singles dropping by Death From Above 1979, Father John Misty, Lime Garden, Modern English, Placebo, Ryan Hemsworth, to name a few, alongside full albums Fat Dog, Greg Freeman, Johnny Marr, Stef Chura, Susanne Sundfør, Wishy, and even more! Happy October to your ears!
