Welcome back to another SubModern Report. Spring is really in full swing (and I have the allergies to prove it). But we're here to talk about Pulp not pollen! That's right, the Britpop legends didn't quite do it right out of the gate, debuting at #2 last week, but this week their new single "Spike Island" has hit the top of the chart. On the album chart however, it is a release week #1 for TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe with his fantastic solo debut Thee Black Boltz! Congrats to Tunde and congrats to Jarvis & co.

Last week's #1 single, "Aerial Trouble" by Stereolab, is tied for #2 this week with "Deadstick", another one from everyone's favorite prolific Aussies King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, off of their forthcoming 27th album! Sorry is in at #4 with "Jetplane", followed by Kula Shaker at #5 with "Charge of The Light Brigade." A tie at #6 features the latest single from this week's top album, "Somebody New" by Tunde Adebimpe, as well as "Get Back To Me" by Wisp. New Zealand's Yumi Zouma are back with "Bashville On The Sugar" at #8. That leaves another tie at #9 to close the top ten, this one between Garbage's "There's No Future In Optimism" and Tune-Yards' "Heartbreak".

Back on the album chart, another big release of the week, Send A Prayer My Way from Julien Baker & TORRES lands at #2. And it's another big week for the The Bug Club who don't have a top ten single for the first time in a while, but their upcoming album Very Human Features, which isn't out until mid-June, debuts at #3. There's a tie at #4 between OK Go's And The Adjacent Possible and the aforementioned Tune-Yards' Better Dreaming. Welcome To My Blue Sky from Momma is at #6 this week, followed by another tie betwixt the deluxe edition of Fontaines D.C.'s Romance and Superheaven's self-titled comeback. That just leaves a big ol' five-way tie #9, featuring albums from Billie Marten, The Kickback, Mt. Joy, Soft Play, and Spacey Jane.

You can find the details of that tie and lots more ties up to #25 on both charts HERE. As is typically the case, we also have a comprehensive Available For Airplay list featuring the tunes that you should be looking out for this coming week. On that list are album releases from The Besnard Lakes, Divide and Dissolve, Little Barrie & Malcolm Catto, The Moonlandingz, Nick Hexum, Samia, Stereophonics, Sunflower Bean, The Tisburys, Viagra Boys, and Wishy, plus a smattering of singles too from All-American Rejects, Maggie Rogers & Sylvan Esso (covering Broken Social Scene), Post Animal, Softcult, and more. Enjoy the sounds and the weather, and we'll catch up again next week.
