M10, no show

 

Today (as you read this) is my birthday, so tomorrow (as I type this, Wednesday as you read it) I took an extra day off to celebrate, so I won't be doing the show part of this week's countdown.  But I will share it with you.

10- the lone debut, and I had a somewhat fearsome debate whether this one breaks my rules- obviously "it does not" won.  What is going on? 50 years after Paul McCartney and Wings recorded a live in studio lp for a docu-movie called One Hand Clapping, those unreleased (but apparently often bootlegged) tracks have at last been released.  And the opener from those sessions comes in at #10...

*******************************************************************************

Debuting at 8 has been a killer that last few weeks; Dent May feels it as he drops one to 9 with You Already Know.

The War And Treaty move up a spot to 8 with Stealing A Kiss.

Bob Junior... well, lets just be frank and say, Bethany Cosentino- drops 3 to 7 with Always (All The Time).

Lake Street Dive slips back one to 6 with Good Together.

The Purple Disco Machine, stickies its way up a pair to 5 with Honey Boy.

A song that fits in the "I didn't think this was going anywhere" category moves up 2 to 4- Lorde with Take Me To The River.

This week's stunner- Shannon and the Clams lose their grip on the top after 4 weeks with Real Or Magic slipping to 3.

Up 2 for a song in the "I didn't think it would get THIS far" category- Real Estate's Somebody New.

So a new #1? Well, not really...

...because Kacey Musgraves has weathered the four week siege of Shannon and the Clams, fought off Bethany Cosentino, and returns to the top after an new-record 4 weeks out with Cardinal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week, Lord willing, the return of the usual madness.
