OK, here we are with the last regular SubModern Report of 2025! And for these last charts, Melody's Echo Chamber is pretty much reigning supreme with Unclouded as the undisputed #1 album and "The House That Doesn't Exist" at #1 on the singles chart, albeit in a tie. The other #1 single is the same as last week - "Barbed Wire" by Cardinals. Congrats to both on a strong finish to this year and I'm sure we'll see more of Cardinals on the charts in 2026 with their new record dropping early in the year.

Next on both charts are newcomers Sunday Mourners with their debut album A-Rhythm Absolute debuting at #2 and single "Careers In Acting" at #3.

Continuing down the singles chart, we have a three-way tie at #4 that includes two previous #1's, Kiwi Jr.'s "Hard Drive, Ontario" and Lime Garden's "Maybe Not Tonight", as well as Poolside's "Otherside". That brings it to #7, where there's a tie between "Power" by Death Lens and the cover of Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" by Pulp. Finally, the top ten closes with another tie at #9, featuring Puma Blue with "Croak Dream" and TRAITRS with "I Was Ill, You Were Wrong".

TEED's just-released Always With Me picks things back up on the album chart at #3, followed by the aforementioned Puma Blue at #4 with the forthcoming Croak Dream. Tied at #5 are Blizzard from Dove Ellis and 7 Songs, Vol. 4 from Lonely Bunker. A three-way tie is next at #7, including Mariachi El Bronx IV from you guessed it, Mariachi El Bronx, Ratboys' upcoming Singin' To An Empty Chair, and Sword II's Electric Hour. Finally there are five albums tied at #10 from The Belair Lip Bombs, Bluhm, Hatchie, Kid Kapichi, and The Replacements. You can find the titles for all of those HERE, where you can also check out the full top twenty-five albums and singles.

You'll find just a smattering of new releases like new singles by J Mascis and Altin Gun, alongside some holiday offerings on a very truncated Available For Airplay list this week.

And with that we are just about done here at the SubModern Report for 2025, save for the Year-End charts that'll be coming this Friday. That's where we'll find out the top singles, albums, artists, and labels of 2025, plus I'll reveal my personal faves of the year. Catch you in a few days and then again on January 7th for the first charts of 2026.
