Gobble Gobble everybody... it's the Thanksgiving eve edition of The SubModern Report. I'll try to keep this short because I know that a lot of you have one foot out the door already. It feels like 2009 with The xx's debut album at #1 this week, but no, it's the deluxe edition and there are five previously unreleased bonus tracks, including "Teardrops" which is at #5 on the singles chart! But debuting at #1 on the singles chart are some up-and-comers out of the UK, Lime Gardenwith "Maybe Not Tonight". Hopefully much more where that banger came from in 2026.

The #1 single of the last two weeks, "Hard Drive, Ontario" by Kiwi Jr., is down just one spot to #2 this week, followed by a brand-new non-album track by David Byrne, "T Shirt", which has been featured on his current tour. Congratulations to the band Congratulations with "Fought 4 Love" (appropriately) at #4. Then after the aforementioned xx track, there's a five-way tie occupying the entire second half of the top ten, including singles by Big Special, Lifeguard, Ratboys, Snocaps, and Weird Nightmare.

Back on the album chart, another deluxe edition of a classic record is at #2. This one is The Replacements' Let It Be from 1984. Next we have Snocaps (A.K.A. the Crutchfield sisters) show up again at #3 with their self-titled album. HEALTH's forthcoming Conflict DLC is next at #4, followed by Twen's Fate Euphoric at #5. There's a tie at #6 between Rock A Bye Baby, Glimmer of God from Jean Dawson and So Much Country 'Till We Get There from Westside Cowboy. Finally a three-way tie at #8 closes the top ten with offerings from Freak Slug, Juliana Hatfield, and Maria Somerville.

You can find the titles involved in those big ties as well as the full top twenty-five singles and albums HERE. We do still have some new music for those not too full of turkey to have a show this weekend. Take a look at the Available For Airplay list for all of that. OK, I told you I'd be brief. After today we have just two more weeks of charts for the year! Catch you as the countdown to the end begins next week. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
