Here we are. It's the last regularly scheduled SubModern Report of the year! (I'll tell you about the actual last report of the year at the end.) For the final charts we have two new #1's to end the year. On the singles chart it's Becca Harvey, who goes by girlpuppy, with a fresh track, appropriately titled "Champ". And on the album chart is another artist with a pseudonym, Elana Carroll a.k.a. Party Nails, with the debut of the forthcoming Pillow Talk record that will be out in January. Could these both be artists that we'll hear a lot more from in 2025? We shall see...
America's local band Cheekface has dropped "Hard Mode" which debuts at #2. That's followed by a tie at #3 between the aforementioned Party Nails' newest track "Trigger Warning" and Tunde Adebimpe's "Magnetic". HotWax debuts another tune, "Wanna Be A Doll", from their upcoming debut album at #5. After that are two big ties, the first with four singles at #6 - "Soft Skin" by Double Wish, "Peace Song" by Fat Dog, "2468" by Horsegirl, and "This High Up" by Mystic Knights. Finally there's a five-way tie to close the top ten, featuring tracks by Capital Cities, Dutch Interior, Franz Ferdinand, Squid, and zzzahara.
Continuing on the album chart, Freak Slug shoots way up to #2 with I Blow Out Big Candles. Then a three-way tie at #3 includes The Cure's Songs of A Lost World as well as two upcoming releases - Circa Waves' Death & Love, Pt 1 and Horsegirl's Phonetics On and On. Last week's #1 album, Nobody Loves You More from Kim Deal is at #6 this week before a tie at #7 between Franz Ferdinand's forthcoming The Human Fear and the TRAИƧA concept album. Finally there's a four-way tie at #9 including Father John Misty's Mahashmashana, Inhaler's Open Wide, Lauren Mayberry's solo debut Vicious Creature, and White Denim's 12.
Beyond that, you'll just have to CLICK HERE and beyond this, you'll hear from me just once more in 2024 in a couple days for the SubModern Year End Report, which will reveal the top singles, albums, artists, and labels of the year. After that, we'll have a little time off for the holidays and return with the first charts of 2025 on January 8th.
