Chart Madness
Man, I really thought the White Stripes would hold onto that top spot for a couple more weeks. Sigh.

Two Linkin Park songs in the top 5. That’s horrific. Even more horrific? Hearing it on KBZT. Someone commented earlier this week that we should start an email campaign to stop KBZT from playing this on the radio. Go for it, you guys. I’ve already made my opinion known to the powers that be, but I am one person, so unless you guys barrage them with hate mail, they’ll continue to play it. Also of note in the top 10 – Foos debuting at #6.
On my watchlist:
12. Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver
last week: 11
spins: 1167
last week: 1156
move: 11
Chart position is down, but spins are up. This should break to top 10 sooner than later.
20. Silverchair - Straight Lines
last week: 23
spins: 828
last week: 768
move: 60
So how cool would it be that they have a top 10 single some 12 years after “Tomorrow”?
37. Mutemath - Typical
last week: 39
spins: 393
last week: 338
move: 55
This is still getting adds across the country.
39. Against Me! - Thrash Unreal
last week: 42
spins: 380
last week: 301
move: 79
This song is the real deal. They’ve had a barrage of press and are stealthing up the charts.
40. Silversun Pickups -Well Thought Out Twinkles
last week: 38
spins: 372
last week: 338
move: 34
Also still getting added to stations. “Lazy Eye” is still in the top 20, so the band is actually still getting about 1000 spins a week.
43. Hot Hot Heat - Let Me In
last week: 51
spins: 266
last week: 239
move: 27
I’m excited about this single and the new album.
