Courtney Barnett is just not giving up the top spot despite a serious charge from Mitski. Purity Ring, Waxahatchee and TORRES are making charges as well, and one song new to the top 10 is poised to be the one eventually knocking off Courtney. "Flood on the Floor" may be Purity Ring's answer to the number 1 song of 2014, Grimes' "Go" as the beat is one you appreciate more and more the louder you play it.
Another big mover is Montgomery. A female (of course) vocalist from who knows where who delivers a pop gem that reminds me of Madonna's best last 1980s tunes. I don't know who she is but she's good. And she has a pretty cool cover of Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" on Soundcloud.
The only other new entry to the Top 30 is the next single from the New Pornographers, "Fantasy Fool".
Another interesting not is that 22 of the Top 30 have green colors which means they are on their way UP the chart. So it looks to be a logjam up there at some point.
Next week look for new songs from the Decemberists and Interpol and debuts from new artists like Diet Cig, Bearson and Will Butler from the Arcade Fire.
Enjoy the last week of short days!
