Quick peek at the charts
Life is definitely getting in the way of the blog these days. Maybe a good thing. But I had a few minutes to hammer a post out, so here we go with a quick peek at the alt rock charts for the week ending 10/8.
Top 10:
1. Foo Fighters - The Pretender
last week: 1 spins: 2339 last week: 2405 move: -66
2. Linkin Park - Bleed It Out
last week: 2 spins: 1926 last week: 1952 move: -26
3. Three Days Grace - Never Too Late
last week: 3 spins: 1882 last week: 1934 move: -52
4. Paramore - Misery Business
last week: 5 spins: 1742 last week: 1674 move: 68
5. Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
last week: 4 spins: 1715 last week: 1830 move: -115
6. Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino
last week: 6 spins: 1504 last week: 1435 move: 69
7. Seether - Fake It
last week: 8 spins: 1444 last week: 1385 move: 59
8. Flyleaf - All Around Me
last week: 7 spins: 1377 last week: 1389 move: -12
9. Linkin Park - What I’ve Done
last week: 9 spins: 1267 last week: 1268 move: -1
10. White Stripes - Icky Thump
last week: 10 spins: 1158 last week: 1218 move: -60
So nothing too exciting here in the top 10. Though I see Paramore is a up a spot. I’m pretty excited that I finally get to see them live. I’ve missed them on Warped two years in a row and never seem to be able to catch their SOMA shows. So since they are on tour, I’d expect this to creep up more though I doubt it will knock off Foos and LP. But maybe get to #3? That would be a big deal for them.
On my watch list:
12. Silverchair - Straight Lines
last week: 12 spins: 1046 last week: 1040 move: 6
I’m hoping this one doesn’t stay flat. The top 10 is ready for new blood.
13. White Stripes - You Don’t Know What Love Is
last week: 15 spins:1039 last week: 946 move: 93
Good week for this song. It picked up all the lost spins of “Icky Thump” and then some.
14. Against Me! - Thrash Unreal
last week: 16 spins: 994 last week: 924 move: 70
Still heading up the charts.
21. Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles
last week: 22 spins: 679 last week: 636 move: 43
Still picking up spins and new stations, so all good here.
24. Smashing Pumpkins - That’s The Way (My Love Is)
last week: 26 spins: 540 last week: 518 move: 22
This entered the charts about the same time as White Stripes “You Don’t Know...” but hasn’t taken off like that one. I wish stations would stop playing “Tarantula” already and play this.
40. Coheed and Cambria - The Running Free
last week: 43 spins: 312 last week: 301 move: 11
Coming off a great Warped and heading out for their own tour, this is only going up. (On the active charts as well.)
48. Hives - Tick, Tick, Boom
last week: 50 spins: 226 last week: 219
Woo hoo. You guys are gonna get sick of me in the next few weeks as I get all sorts of geeked up for the Hives show.
