I wasn't sure we'd ever see The Cure back on the SubModern Report. Their last album was longer ago than I've been steward of these charts. But finally we have new music in the form of this week's #1 single "Alone", and an official announcement of their first album in sixteen years, Songs of A Lost World, due out November 1st! (Hopefully a good omen for other events early in the month.) While Robert Smith clearly dominated the singles chart, it was less clear on the album chart with a tie for the top spot between Nada Surf's Moon Mirror (back after a one-week slip to #3 last week) and Sports Team's forthcoming third record Boys These Days, which will be released in February.

Last week's top single, "S P E Y S I D E" by Bon Iver stays strong at #2 this week. The aforementioned Sports Team have a new track "Condensation" tied at #3 with Suzanne Vega's "Rats". Deep Sea Diver is at #5 with "Billboard Heart" followed by a new standalone track from Sprints titled "Feast". There's a three-way tie at #7 between "Big Dreams" by Amyl and The Sniffers, "Sophie's House" by half•alive, and "Slugger" by Sasami. That leaves The Sherlocks to close out the top ten with "Man On The Loose" from their just-announced fifth album, coming in February.

Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin moved up the album chart this week to #3. Then Amyl and the Sniffers show up at #4 a few weeks out from the release of their third album Cartoon Darkness. Zeshan B comes in at #5 with O Say, Can You See? and Pixies' The Night The Zombies Came ushers in the spooky season at #6. Dive from almost monday and the Shake EP from Sunflower Bean are tied at #7, followed by Phantogram at #9 with the upcoming Memory of A Day. That leaves us with a huuuuge tie at #10 between eight albums, which will be listed on the chart.

There's an even bigger tie below that and more on the singles chart too. You'll find it all right here. 

You'll also find all the new tunes to go with your pumpkin spice everything on the Available For Airplay list, including singles from Bartees Strange, Cheekface, Circa Waves, Faye Webster, King Falcon, Royel Otis, and Waxahatchee, plus albums from Caribou, Jerry Paper, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Smile, Wild Pink, and more. Enjoy and we'll catch up again next week.
