Indie Rock 40

Stagnation continues near the top with little change in the top 5, but several new contenders starting to creep up. Once again, Crownote can't remember "Sweet" by Cigarettes After Sex being here from before - it's movement this week is from 7 to 6. Are Cut Copy and Spoon peaking where they sit, or is there more gas in their tank? How high will Franz Ferdinand, Dent May, and newcomer My Goodness climb?

This week's debuts give us 3 different artists to have 3 songs on the countdown. The other act to accomplish that feat this year was Public Service Broadcasting. Alvvays accomplished this feat in 2014/15 with their first album, when "Archie, Marry Me", "Next of Kin" and "Party Police" all charted together.

Dent May clinches this year's crown for the longest run at #1 with 8 weeks (non-consecutive).

Other notes: both of this week's drop-offs were by the Clientele - the top 5 lead single "Lunar Days" and the follow-up "Everything You See Is Different...", which peaked just outside the top 20.

Luna gets a nice bump with the second cover song ("Most of the Time" - Bob Dylan) to chart this year. Another healthy jump and they'll pull ahead of Benjamin Gibbard's mark of #24 with "What You Do To Me" (Teenage Fanclub). Luna tie for biggest jump of the week, with Dent May's "90210"
