Happy mid-July and welcome to another SubModern Report where Dinosaur Jr. is not giving up the top spot on the singles chart with "Several Got Away". On the album chart however, after three weeks, Sweeping Promises has moved aside for a new #1 as Slow Pulp takes over with their upcoming Melodie, featuring new single "Not For Nothing", which debuts tied for #3.

Before that at #2, we see another debuting single, "Girl, Intentions" by Freak Slug. And then the other new tune tied at #3 is "All The Rage" by Wishy. Yard Act is in at #5 with "New Beginnings", followed by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard with "Level 5" at #6, and Interpol with "Iron City", another track from the forthcoming This Mirror Weighs A Ton (#3t), at #7. That leaves a five-way tie to close the top ten in the #8 position, including tracks by Cage The Elephant, Jack White, King Falcon, the aforementioned Sweeping Promisess, and U2.

Newcomers Mary In The Junkyard take #2 on the album chart with their debut Role Model Hermit before a three-way tie between the aforementioned Interpol record, Jack White's Frozen Charlotte, and Panda Bear & Sonic Boom's just-dropped A ? Of When. As I mentioned Sweeping Promises' forthcoming You Say I Romanticize has slipped from #1 this week, down to #6. The Linda Lindas are right behind them at #7 with the announcement of their third record Gotta Get Out, and She's Green are at #8 with Swallowtail. That leaves us with a four-way tie at #9 with albums from Citizen, The Garden, RAT BOY, and Squirrel Flower (that's half rodent-based for those keeping track of such things).

If you want the titles for those big ties, look no further than the FULL CHARTS, where we continue beyond the top tens. Also, be sure to check out the Available For Airplay list, where it's another jam-packed week full of tunes coming your way from Bob Moses, Cage The Elephant, Deep Sea Diver (with a very cool cover), Genesis Owusu, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Queens of the Stone Age and more, along with full albums by Aaron Lee Tasjan, Babe Rainbow, The Menzingers, MISSIO, and others. Catch up with you about all those next time.
