Welcome to September and this fake end of summer that we've all bought into. Congrats to Interpol whose eighth album This Mirror Weighs A Ton dominated specialty airplay this week and unseated Phoebe Bridgers as #1! On the singles chart, the latest from Johnny Marr's upcoming The Age of Everything, "It's Time", debuted at #1, while the album itself was at #2, beating out some pretty big new releases.

Lex Walton has a big chart debut with "Hipster Runoff" tied at #2 alongside "Feed The Sewer" by Protomartyr. Also making a first-ever chart appearance is untitled (halo) with the debut single "Aimee Lou Wood Freestyle", tied at #4 with "Flannelette" by Railcard. The next tie at #6 is between last week's #1, "Marianne" by Fontaines D.C., and Sylvan Esso's latest track "On & On". There's yet another tie at #8 between "Pony Up" by Drag Talk and "Catch As Catch Can" by Thao (featuring Neko Case). And finally the top ten closes with a five-way tie at #10, including singles by Chinese American Bear, Dummy, Imperial Teen, Iron & Wine, and New Translations.

Turning back to albums, Westside Cowboy slips just one spot with It Goes On at #3 this week, followed by the aforementioned Protomartyr's forthcoming Hotel Usona at #4, and Dinosaur Jr.'s just-dropped thirteenth record There Near at #5. Most of the top ten's second half is all clumped in a tie at #6, featuring Gotta Get Out from The Linda Lindas, Two Steps At A Time from Railcard, Ow ∞ from Sylvan Esso, and the #1 album of the last two weeks, Phoebe Bridgers' Lost Weekend. That only leaves Greg Freeman all alone at #10 with the debut of his upcoming All Set The Bone.

For more than top tens, see the full charts HERE. And just because we're headed into a holiday weekend, doesn't mean there's any lack of new music coming our way. You'll find out about all that on the Available For Airplay list, which includes albums from Bayonne, Chat Pile, Dexys Midnight Runners, Gordi (an EP), Haircut 100, James Bruner, LP, and Mykki Blanco, plus singles by Aaron Frazer, Susanne Sundfør, Tracy Bonham, and lots more. Aside from all the tunes, enjoy hopefully not laboring on Labor Day, and I'll meet you back here next week as we get into the fall season (but really still summer).
