Hi all. As I predicted, it was a Wet Leg dominated week here at the SubModern Report following the release of their sophomore record Moisturizer, which was the #1 album, with double the spins of any other! Woohoo! But on the singles chart, I might not have predicted the dominance of Jay Som, whose album-annnouncing track "Float", featuring Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, debuted in the top spot! Congratulations to both!

Now Jay Som didn't double the spins of the next closest single, in fact Neko Case came in at a very close #2 with "Wreck", which heralds her first solo album in quite some time. Hot Chip has a new tune "Devotion" taken from a forthcoming best-of set (that should be called Hot Chip's Hottest Chips, but no one asked me). That ties at #3 with last week's #1 single, "Descartes" by Sprints. Also tied at #5 are a cut from the aforementioned Wet Leg titled "mangetout" and Geese's brand bew single "Taxes". "Legalize Living", a third advance single by The Hives, stands alone at #7 before a three-way tie at #8 that closes out the top ten. Those three are "Cherry Bomb" by Circa Waves, "My Mind Is A Mountain" by Deftones, and "Fragile People" by Ivy.

Circling back to the album chart, there's a three-way tie at #2, featuring two artists that were in the top ten singles - Ivy with Traces of You and The Hives with The Hives Forever, Forever The Hives - as well as Big Special's surprise-released sophomore record, National Average. Rocket's just-announced debut album R Is For Rocket debuts at #5, followed by a tie at #6 between Nation of Language's Dance Called Memory and Shame's Cutthroat. At #8 is the debut of a new artist called Highspire with Crushed before heading into a five-way tie at #9. That includes albums from The Beths, Indigo De Souza, The London Suede, Petey USA, and Soulwax.
